Permissions of removed groups stay in database

[jef scheepers]

Hello everyone! 

I noticed that when we remove a rodsgroup from our iRODS zone, I can still find the permissions of that group on collections and data objects.

For example, I created a group called 'testgroup' (ID 10020) and gave it read rights on the collection 'test'. When I remove the group (with iadmin rmgroup), their access seems to stay there:

iquest "SELECT COLL_ACCESS_USER_ID, COLL_ACCESS_NAME where COLL_NAME = '/myzone/home/rods/test'"

COLL_ACCESS_USER_ID = 10002
COLL_ACCESS_NAME = own
------------------------------------------

COLL_ACCESS_USER_ID = 10020
COLL_ACCESS_NAME = read_object

----------------------------------------------------

The permission is not reported anymore by ils -A, but I can still find it with iquest and with session.query in the PRC.

Since the group doesn't exist anymore, I don't believe that there is a real access issue. However, this outdated info remains, which in my opinion is confusing and requires some manual cleaning after queries.

My question: is this intended behaviour or not?

In the second case, I can make a proper Github issue with steps to reproduce.

Kind regards, 

Jef

Hi Jef,

My initial reaction is the same as yours.

Please create an issue at GitHub, and we can investigate any good reasons to keep them around that I'm forgetting.
