This is too risky to fix it. I could remove 'Create group' action on
FileSystem, but this could break some backward compatability.
Comment 3 _ lkramolis 2001-11-22 14:50:51 UTC 
This needs design change and will not be fixed in 3.3.

Groups are currently dessigned as collection of relative path to
another objects. Future change should support absolute path to data
object -- name (path) of filesystem and name (path) of data object on
this FS.
Comment 4 _ lkramolis 2002-07-10 13:27:59 UTC 
'Create group' action is not allowed on root of file system now.
Comment 5 Martin Ryzl 2002-07-10 13:48:22 UTC 
Hmmm, you've just removed the symptom but didn't solve the problem.
Your previous comment described correct solution.
If the reason for fixing this issue in the way you did it was bug
count limit, please, at least submit an RFE that 1) the action should
be enabled on root of FS again and 2) format of group should support
absolute paths including filesystems.
Comment 6 _ lkramolis 2002-07-10 14:10:45 UTC 
You are right I just fixed described problem. But I am not sure if it
is necessary to allow group creating on FS root. Please file a new RFE
about it, if you think it is useful for somebody -- I don't think so
since nobody needs it till now. Thanks.

Verified in release34 and dev [200304300100].
Creating gruop works as expected.
Comment 8 Quality Engineering 2003-07-01 15:31:19 UTC 
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
