New User Default Role Toggle is Broken in Rancher UI

[nayrnet]

Rancher Server Setup

• Rancher version: 2.6.3
• Installation option (Docker install/Helm Chart): Docker/Helm/Hosted Rancher

Information about the Cluster

• Kubernetes version: 1.20 & 1.21
• Cluster Type (Local/Downstream): Local/Global

User Information

• What is the role of the user logged in? Admin & Restricted Admin

Describe the bug
In new Rancher UI, changing the "New User Default" Global Role value is broken, cannot select "No" for Standard User, or select "Yes" on another Role.

To Reproduce
On any 2.6.x instance, go to Users & Authentication -> Roles -> Standard User -> Edit Config -> Try to change "New User Default" to no.

Result
The User Interface does not let you change this Value, if you change to the old user interface you can.

Expected Result
Should be able to configure or unconfigure new user default.

Screenshots

Additional context
Tested in Safari and Chrome

A workaround is to open the hidden legacy UI via: https://RANCHERSERVERURL/g (replace /dashboard/ with /g/) then you can change these settings as needed.

This appears to work on 2.6.2 - need to check on 2.6.3

Not now, it returns

Cannot use 'in' operator to search for 'newUserDefault' in null

[cnotv]

Analogue error happens while typing the description.

@nwmac I think we should fix this issue before release 2.6.4 as every global role cannot be created or edited:

• Path: /c/local/auth/roles
• Users & Authentication > Roles > Create/Edit

@cnotv I got this error when trying to type a description for a new global role:

The description issue seems to come out from this https://github.com/rancher/dashboard/blob/master/components/form/NameNsDescription.vue#L251-L258

@cnotv if we know how to fix it then we can get it in to 2.6.4

In any case for the description the issue seems to be the UI trying to set the value for description which has not a setter for the model 🤷

For the radio button it just cannot find the context at all (this returns null), even more enigmatic 😅

@nwmac beside analyzing the YAML, how can I test the behavior of actually setting a global user role as New User Default Role?

[cnotv]

For the records, this is also required for other role editor pages:

• models/management.cattle.io.globalrole.js
• models/management.cattle.io.globalrolebinding.js
• models/management.cattle.io.roletemplate.js

Ok basically this can be verified also on user role creation.
