      Description

      When a LDAP configuration is set, trying to view a group could fail with the following error :

      Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.usermanager.UserManagerImpl.getGroupsInGroup(UserManagerImpl.java:1562)
	at org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.usermanager.UserManagerImpl.getGroupsInGroup(UserManagerImpl.java:664)
	at org.nuxeo.ecm.webapp.security.AbstractUserGroupManagement.getAllSubGroups(AbstractUserGroupManagement.java:180)
	at org.nuxeo.ecm.webapp.security.AbstractUserGroupManagement.getAllSubGroups(AbstractUserGroupManagement.java:166)
	at org.nuxeo.ecm.webapp.security.AbstractUserGroupManagement.getAllAdminGroups(AbstractUserGroupManagement.java:152)
	at org.nuxeo.ecm.webapp.security.GroupManagementActions.getAllowDeleteGroup(GroupManagementActions.java:194)

      This is because the default administrator group cannot be retrieved from the current group directory.

      A workaround is to disable the default administrator group, administrators

                <disableDefaultAdministratorsGroup>
            true
          </disableDefaultAdministratorsGroup>

      But the problem could happen because of other groups.
