SUMMARY:
The behavior described in this document is by design. After duplicating a project in Strategy Developer which uses LDAP Authentication, subscriptions may be missing. This document explains the reason for this behavior, and a solution which can be used to duplicate all subscriptions.
SYMPTOM:
In Strategy Developer, users may notice that subscriptions are missing after project duplication, even though options were chosen to duplicate subscriptions.
The option "Project-related users and groups only" was chosen, and the project uses LDAP Authentication.
CAUSE:
Users are considered related to a project if they have privileges for the project. With LDAP Authentication, users are not granted privileges directly; users inherit their privileges through their LDAP group membership when they connect to the project. Since the users do not have privileges granted directly for the project, they are not considered related to the project. Therefore, the users are not included in the project duplication and neither are the users' subscriptions.
ACTION:
During project duplication, choose the option to duplicate "All users and user groups". This way all users will be duplicated, and therefore all users' subscriptions will also be duplicated.
