Unable to Configure allowed_groups When Setting Agent Visibility to Group-Restricted

[mrpksahu]

Summary

When changing an agent’s visibility from Public/Private to Group Restricted, the system throws an allowed_groups error. However, the UI does not provide any field to configure allowed_groups, making it impossible to complete the action.

---

Environment

• Project: Agent Registry (Open Source)
• Deployment: Enterprise setup
• Auth/Identity Provider: Microsoft Entra ID (groups-based access control)

---

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create or edit an existing agent.
2. Set visibility to Group Restricted.
3. Attempt to save/update the agent.

---

Actual Behavior

• The operation fails with an error indicating that allowed_groups is missing or invalid.
• No UI field is available to input or select allowed_groups.

---

Expected Behavior

• When Group Restricted visibility is selected:

  • The UI should display a field to configure allowed_groups.

  • This could be:

    • A multi-select dropdown of available groups
    • A free-form input (if groups are externally managed)

• The agent should be saved successfully when valid groups are provided.

---

Impact

• 🚫 Blocking issue: Cannot create or update group-restricted agents.
• Prevents enforcing group-based access control for agents.
• Limits usability in enterprise environments where access must be scoped to specific user groups.

Thank you for reporting this, Pramod. This is a duplicate of #883 which tracks the same issue (missing allowed_groups input field when selecting Group Restricted visibility). We will fix #883 as part of the v1.0.22 milestone.

This was implemented in PR #923 which adds full end-to-end support for group-restricted agent visibility, including:

• UI: Visibility dropdown and Allowed Groups input field on both the agent registration and edit forms
• Backend: X-Groups header forwarding through nginx, group-restricted filtering for non-admin users, allowed_groups query parameter on the list endpoint
• CLI: --allowed-groups flag for both registration and filtering
• Docs: Agent Visibility and Group-Based Access Control (full guide) | FAQ

The specific issue reported (no UI field for allowed_groups when selecting Group Restricted) is resolved by the frontend changes in Dashboard.tsx and RegisterPage.tsx.
