[gold-users] Antwort: Re: Gold showing newly created projects to all users with mybalance/gbalance ?

[Scott Jackson]

I thought I would offer the reason for this behavior. In Gold 2.x, it is 
possible to create non-viable accounts. If you create an account for 
which you setup the AccountUser as MEMBERS, but the project does not 
have any user members defined, that account is non-viable, will not be 
picked up in the join SELECT and may not even show up properly in your 
list of accounts.

In gmkproject, we signal to the Project Create routine whether or not 
users were defined for the project when it was created by sending an 
AccountUsers option.

    $request->setOption("AccountUsers", "MEMBERS") if defined $users;

In the backend, if account.autogen is set, we will create an account, 
and the AccountUser will be set to ANY if no users have been set for the 
project yet to avoid it becoming nonviable. If users were specify in the 
gmkproject command, then we know it has users and we can safely set it 
to MEMBERS.

Here is an extract of the code where we auto-generate the account:

        # Create a default account if we resolved to do so
        if ($createAccount)
        {
            my $project = $request->getAssignmentValue("Name");
    # Use the AccountUsers option value if specified,
    # otherwise, use ANY to avoid creating a non-viable account.
    # The goal here is to create the AccountUser as MEMBERS only if we 
will be
    # immediately adding users to the project (known by gmkproject), 
since if we
    # create it as MEMBERS and do not add any project members, the 
account will
    # not be viable, and a subsequent call to gdeposit -p $project 
(which uses
    # UseRules) will auto-generate a second account (with AccountUser ANY).
            my $user = $request->getOptionValue("AccountUsers") || "ANY";

            # Create the account
            my $subRequest = new Gold::Request(
                database    => $database,
                object      => "Account",
                action      => "Create",
                actor       => $config->get_property("super.user", 
$SUPER_USER),
                assignments => [
                    new Gold::Assignment(name => "Name", value => $project),
                    new Gold::Assignment(
                        name  => "Description",
                        value => "Auto-generated"
                    )
                ]
            );
            my $subResponse = Gold::Bank->create($subRequest, $requestId);

This should explain why adding the dummy user modified the behavior.
