Add Group Admin membership with 'configurable_permissions=None'

[eirerocks]

Description of the Issue

Problem: I am attempting to add a managed user as 'Group Admin' member but ensure that they have no additional configurable permissions

Please refer to Box community post:

Versions Used

Box Python SDK: boxsdk==2.4.1
Python: 3.7.3

Steps to Reproduce

1. Attempt to add a managed user as Group Admin role to an existing group

2. Attempt to pass no additional configurable permissions i.e.

   • create new user accounts
   • manage group member accounts
   • run reports on group activity
   • Instant login to group member accounts

3. Check Group Admin role permission in users profile in Admin console (search for user, select group user is admin for / click on cog to view 'Access Level'

Desired Outcome: All of these Access Levels are unchecked when first adding Group Admin role

My project code

def createGroupMembership(groupID, boxUserId):
    ''' for given group add user ID as a member '''

    try:
        user = sa_client.user(boxUserId)
        role = 'admin'
        membership = sa_client.group(group_id=groupID).add_member(
            user, role, configurable_permissions=None)

Error Message, Including Traceback

No Error messages - The group membership is successfully created but 'configurable_permissions=None' is being ignored.

I suspect this issue could be linked to similar issue for shared link 'unshared_at' bug 424 which was recently fixed
