Can't Create Groups

ℹ️ Support
1

Hi all,

I’ve set up a new NextCloud install on Ubuntu 20.04 and all is running fine except when I go into users and click on ‘+ Add Group’ nothing happens

I’ve tried with a different Admin account but get the same thing, and a standard user doesn’t have access to this part

I can add users fine, just nothing at all happens when I click Add Group

I want to use GroupFolders so I can share a folder between friends but without being able to create a group, I can’t do this

This is a fresh install of Ubuntu and NextCloud

Any Ideas?

Thanks in advance!

I’m having the same issue

Ok, when editing a user, click in groups and type in the name of the new group you want. It’ll appear with a “+” next to it, clicking that will crate the group

Yes, the same issue when updated to 27.0.0
might be a plugin that we all use that makes this an issue?

What platforms are u running on?

That would make sense @thefourCraft …

I’m running my nextclouds on VMs (hosted on proxmox), all of them are Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS VMs.
all my nextclouds use Group Folders and OnlyOffice (hosted on another machine). - one of them is using PHP 8.2, the others use 8.1

EDIT:
I disabled Group Folders and OnlyOffice on one of the nextclouds and it dosn’t fix the issue - noticed that in the older version there was a modal that expected you to input a password - that modal is gone…

Have this issue as well. 27.0.0, running docker on a Debian VM (in Truenas).

I am truly sorry that adding a group is broken again :see_no_evil:

Bug report for Nextcloud 22:

Bug report for Nextcloud 27:

The bug is already fixed and will be released with Nextcloud 27.0.1 scheduled for 2023-07-20 (Maintenance and Release Schedule · nextcloud/server Wiki · GitHub).

Workaround: Use occ to add a group.

Also you cannot add a new “shared folder” from “Group folders” !!
Go to “Administration settings”–> “Group folders” (you cannot add a new shared folder).

if you don’t have a group folders in the navigation menu, you can download it from the apps…

Thanks for the clarification, we will wait for the update.

Same problem here with 26.0.4: users are not able to add / create groups. Even the quick & dirty way via add new user doesn’t work. Just the error that user is no Super-Administrator.

Very bad situation. Is there any fix / workaround? Thanks!
