Occ group:list shows old name

🍱 Features & apps groupfolders

Can somebody please try this to make sure I’m not doing something silly. I had a group (not group folder) called “IT Support Members” which I’ve renamed to “IT Support Team”. However, occ group:list still shows the old name. Am I missing something simple?

The group names are stored in the “oc_groups” database table. There are two columns in that table: ‘gid’ and ‘displayname’
When you change the name of a group, you only change the displayname. The gid is never changed to keep the database consistent.

The reason is that occ group:list displays the gid and not the displayname

You can see the oc_groups table with this query:

SELECT * FROM oc_groups;

(I’m assuming that you know how to open the command line client of your database)

Much luck,

Thanks for the explanation. Yes, fine with querying the MariaDB database. Might be more useful if occ group:list displayed both.
