Ability to Remove groups at the parent group level

Release notes

Problem to solve

As the first deliverable for &7314, we want to achieve feature parity between self and SaaS users.

We want to bring out the edit capabilities for group owners that only appears in the admin panel today

Proposal

Group owners should be able to see a new delete button for all their groups

Pressing on the delete button will navigate the user to the group->remove group setting page for the group that was selected

For users that are not group owners nothing should change from what they see today

We are intentionally redirecting the user to the remove group setting and not offering the remove dialog box, to make it more difficult to remove group as we have had some complaints about accidentally deleting groups unintentionally.

Intended users

• Sasha (Software Developer)

Metrics

Availability and Testing

• Run package-and-qa job for MR(s)
• Add / update feature specs
  • Consider adding test cases around inheritance rules as well (verifying parent group owner can access new delete button for its subgroups, subgroup group owner cannot access delete button for parent group, etc.)
