Drupal user 1 can't see microsites on microsite admin page

[stephen-cox]

Drupal user 1 has access to the microsites admin page (/admin/microsites) and can create microsites, but can't then see the Group entity that is created. This is very confusing.

Making Drupal user 1 a Micsrosite Controller doesn't solve the issue. Giving the Microsite group admin the 'Access all entities overview' permission seems to fix it.

Is this because the User 1 is a member admin of the particular microsites that aren't being shown? ie not getting the controller insider permission (which has access all entities overview) but instead the admin permission (without it).

They are indeed admins on the group, as they created the Microsite and so have been given the group admin permission when it was created.

This makes it even odder (although this is likely my not fully understanding how the new group permissions work). User 1 is an admin on the group, so gets the admin member permissions (which don't include viewing the entity). When we give the user the Controller role, it should get the group controller permissions (which include viewing all group entities). But permissions are not combined in a that allows the user to see the group entity.

So I think this might quite possibly be because of the way Group Permissions module applies its overrides, rather than how Group calculates the initial permissions, but this would need testing.

[I think the roles permissions within the group should be additive. Group Permissions however needs the total permissions for the individual to override those of the default from Group. I have a hunch it might not be doing the total permissions for the user. Have to check though. Might be a bug further up.]
