We use AD as our user directory. What do we need to do to enable Bulk Clone for use? The screenshots seem to indicate we need a new group to be added named "BulkClone", but in our AD environment that is not appropriate.
Is there any other way to enable Bulk Clone other that with a new user group?
I pulled down a recent version to confirm, but the functionality only activates when a user belongs to a custom group. Hopefully this will change in a future release, but for now the plugin is not usable for folks in my situation.
[code snippet]
public boolean showPanel(BrowseContext ctx)
{
Collection currentUserGroups = usersGroup.getGroupNamesForUser(authenticationContext.getLoggedInUser());
return currentUserGroups.contains("BulkClone");
}
As far as I know you don't have to create the group in your AD. We created a local group temporarily in our internal directory, did the bulk-copy and deleted the group afterwards...Wouldn't that work for you?

Hi Christian,
Creating an internal group is no problem, but assigning read-only users from the AD to be members of that group is a problem.
Yes, I could further create an internal user, however that both violates our security policy and wouldn't be a managable solution for anything other than single-shot clones; the use case I'm trying to cover would involve regular bulk cloning.
So, I'll search for a different solution =).

Oh I see...We've configured our user directory to be "Read-Only with local groups"...

Ah, took me a minute to figure out what you meant - you're after the BulkClone add-on in Marketplace, right?
It's not clear from the screenshots but my assumption is that you've got to allow permission for a group. It's not really well documented, so I added the correct tag to this, maybe the plugin devs will help.
I don't think you specifically need to create a new group, you just need to give the 'bulk clone' permission, which is not in a screenshot. I'm assuming there's a permission with the plugin, but it's not quite documented all the way.
