Provisioning SecurityGroupDefinition fails

[leolorenzoluis]

I'm trying to provision security groups in SharePoint 2010 but it failed with an exception

Check ModelNode prop

Using the following code found [here](http://docs.subpointsolutions.com/spmeta2/definitions/sharepoint-foundation/SecurityGroupDefinition/#Adding security group)

public void CanDeploySimpleSecurityGroup()
{
    var auditors = new SecurityGroupDefinition
    {
        Name = "External Auditors",
        Description = "External auditors group."
    };

    var reviewers = new SecurityGroupDefinition
    {
        Name = "External Reviewers",
        Description = "External reviewers group."
    };

    var model = SPMeta2Model.NewSiteModel(site =>
    {
        site
            .AddSecurityGroup(auditors)
            .AddSecurityGroup(reviewers);
    });

    DeployModel(model);
}

I'm using the latest version of M2.

The model looks good, should be fine.

Would you please provide .InnerException message? M2 exception has .InnerException that contains original SharePoint exception. That would help to address the issue.

Alright, leave it with us, will see what's wrong there.

We run regression testing on SP2013 only.
SP2010 is only compiled with NET35 and SP2010 assemblies, haven't seen great utilization so never focused on regression there. ETA would be a week or so, will update the ticket accordingly.

Thank you. By the way, I also tried adding Owner, DefaultUser too. I assume those were the required fields in order to provision a SecurityGroup in SPOM.

[SubPointSupport]

No, only props with ExpectRequired attr are required.
In case security group, Name prop is the only required prop.

Checked on SharePoint 2010, all good.

Security groups deployment is only supported at the site level. Here is the full snippet:

public void CanDeploySimpleSecurityGroup()
{
    var auditors = new SecurityGroupDefinition
    {
        Name = "External Auditors",
        Description = "External auditors group."
    };

    var reviewers = new SecurityGroupDefinition
    {
        Name = "External Reviewers",
        Description = "External reviewers group."
    };

    var model = SPMeta2Model.NewSiteModel(site =>
    {
        site
            .AddSecurityGroup(auditors)
            .AddSecurityGroup(reviewers);
    });

    DeployModel(model);
}

private void DeployModel(ModelNode model)
        {
            var service = new SSOMProvisionService();

            using (var spSite = new SPSite("http://m2-sp10-01"))
            {
                using (var spWeb = spSite.OpenWeb())
                {
                    service.DeploySiteModel(spSite, model);
                }
            }
        }

With service.DeployWebModel(spWeb , model); call a new SPMeta2UnsupportedModelHostException exception is raised which is default expected behavior.

SPMeta2.Exceptions.SPMeta2ModelDeploymentException: There was an error while provisioning definition. Check ModelNode prop. ---> SPMeta2.Exceptions.SPMeta2UnsupportedModelHostException: modelHost
