Use new endpoints for adding/removing users to/from groups

[tcompa]

(not yet implemented in the backend, I will update this issue when it is)

In the current status:

• We cannot remove users from a user group
• Adding users to a user groups is meant to also work for the "bulk" case, even though we only add one user at a time in the current fractal-web UI.

As soon as fractal-analytics-platform/fractal-server#1841 (starting from fractal-analytics-platform/fractal-server#1841 (comment)) is implemented and released, two things will change:

• The current way of adding users will be deprecated
• There will be two more atomic endpoints that add/remove a single user and then return the updated group object:

POST /group/{group_id}/add-user/{user_id}/
POST /group/{group_id}/remove-user/{user_id}/

Relevant PR:

• Allow deleting users from groups fractal-server#2101

---

Side-note: we are leaving the possibility of bulk user addition/removal for the future, and it may eventually be part of POST /auth/group/{user_group_id}/add-users-bulk/ and POST /auth/group/{user_group_id}/remove-users-bulk/.

Now available in fractal-server main (and released as 2.9.0a10 in a few minutes)

The relevant part of the CHANGELOG is

• Add POST /auth/group/{group_id}/add-user/{user_id}/ (#2101).
• Add POST /auth/group/{group_id}/remove-user/{user_id}/ (#2101).
• Remove new_user_ids property from PATCH /auth/group/{group_id}/ (#2101).

Have you planned to enable this also from the user editing page?

Currently we can only add groups, using the endpoint PATCH /api/auth/users/{user_id}/ with the following payload:

{
  "new_group_ids": [1,3]
}

[tcompa]

You are right, we will quickly add a new endpoint

POST /users/{user_id}/set-groups/

with a request-body property new_group_ids that fully replaces the existing user/group links with the new ones.

Now available in fractal-server 2.9.0a11 (as soon as https://github.com/fractal-analytics-platform/fractal-server/actions/runs/12026803057/job/33526500615 completes).

The request body must have a single property, as in

{
  "group_ids": [1, 2, 3]
}

and its specs are defined here fractal-analytics-platform/fractal-server#2105

[zonia3000]

It is possible to remove members from the group both by clicking on the X button on the user badges and by dragging them outside the "drag users here" area.
