Issue Summary

This issue refers only to a connector directory (reproduced on Microsoft Active Directory).

In Crowd, If you add members to a group in a group details page, a remote directory won't be updated. Changes will be only persisted locally. But next Crowd sync with remote directory will override them.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to a specific group and add one or more members
2. Check a remote directory if members were added to a matching group

Expected Results

In Crowd added users are present in the group. In remote directory, added users are present in the group.

Actual Results

In Crowd added users are present in the group. In remote directory, added users are not present in the group.

Notes

I've reproduced this bug using Microsoft Active Directory. But it's likely that the behaviour is the same for other types of connector directories.

This bug also affects following Crowd REST endpoint:

POST /rest/admin/1.0/groups/{groupId}/users

Workaround

Instead of adding members to a group in a group details page, it's possible to add groups to each user in a user details page. The second flow works as expected.
