Summary
1. This patch revises how security groups are handled and applied to dashboards, the permissions are revised to work as such:
AD Users
AD User (with an admin role) has to be part of that AD Imported Group and or Local Directory Group in order to see that group under Dash Management.
Local Directory User
Local Directory (ssadmin or local user with an admin role) user cannot be part of any AD Imported User Group and there fore will not see the AD imported User Groups in the Dashboard Management. This user can only be and has to be part of the local directory group in order to see them in the Dashboard management page.
As of now SSADMIN cannot be or see all groups in the Dashboard page, unless he is part of the local directory group. SSADMIN cannot be added to AD Imported Groups for any kind of management.
2. Display button does not stay selected under dashboard management on available dashboards.
This patch resolves this.
