Xibo

what is the purpose of create a group for every user?

Asked by Viswanathan R

Whenever we create a user, it creates group in the same name automatically. Could you please describe about it.
And also lot of "unknown user id" is created in the group table. i don't know why it has happened.....

It makes it easier - all scheduling and permissions are done using a group id and not a user id. The group table contains a column indicating whether its a real group or a user pretending to be a group.

The unknown user id would have been created when Xibo couldn't match a user to their group - its a bug that has been fixed (I think)
