COMPONENT NAME

UI

CLOUDSTACK VERSION

4.19.1.2

CONFIGURATION

OS / ENVIRONMENT

SUMMARY

In the UI it doesn't seem possible to select one or more accounts and Delete them from the list view, it must be done individually, their the accounts own menu Delete entry.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Go to UI -> Accounts, select one or more and try to delete it by using the "bin" icon up top near the search field. 
The button is greyed out.

EXPECTED RESULTS

I should have been able to batch-delete the selected accounts by using the "bin" icon on the Accounts page.

ACTUAL RESULTS

Delete button stayed greyed out, unusable.

hi @NuxRo
Do we really want group action for account deletion?
There is an issue regarding account deletion #9480 which mentions that account deletion is a destructive event (deletes all instances, volumes, snapshots etc). So some extra safety measures should be added so that user doesn't inadvertently delete an account. There is an open PR for it as well which makes user input the name of the account before deleting it #10242.
Please let me know your thoughts on this.

@abh1sar Well.. I don't know what to say.
Personally I'd like to have the option, but if the community thinks some users might shoot themselves in the foot with it then I guess I can make do with the api/cmk.

BTW, in the meanwhile I have discovered that one CAN indeed delete multiple accounts from the UI - just select the accounts you want to delete, then on first one (or any one of them) choose "delete" and all of them are removed. See screenshots below.

@abh1sar @NuxRo , I think we can see this as a minor UI bug, The delete button should be not there or enabled, would you agree?
To answer the more serious functional question: I think it should be up to the operator (or even domain admin) if they want to be able to delete multiple accounts at once.

@DaanHoogland @abh1sar I’d like to pick up this issue if it still needs to be worked on. Could you please confirm if someone is already addressing it?

@Imvedansh , no PR has been associated with this issue yet, please feel free. It was assigned to @abh1sar , but i'm sure he'll forgive you if you beat him to it. ;)
