Error description

  • Root user can be assigned LDAP groups to its admgroups and
    sugroups when domainlessgroups feature is enabled.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • Root user can be assigned LDAP groups to its admgroups and
    sugroups when domainlessgroups feature is enabled.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Via API even without domainlessgroups feature, one can upload
    any group name for admgroups and sugroups. So the fix is
    provided in the user space commands to prevent adding ldap
    groups to root user's account as admgroups or sugroups. This
    will main the API behaviour as is.
