[Bug 1658395] [NEW] Show institution in group settings

 

Public bug reported:

When a group is associated with an institution via CSV file, this is not
obvious to group admins unless they are institution admins and can see
these groups in Admin -> Groups.

It would also be good for individuals who create groups manually to
associate them with a group so that the institution admin can administer
them. Otherwise, only site admins can perform bulk actions via CSV.

The selecting of the institution in the group settings should be done
via a Select2 drop-down menu on the group settings page to allow the
group admin to start typing the institution to which they want to
associate it.

If the user is a member of only one institution, the group is
automatically associated with that institution and the user doesn't see
a drop-down menu but just the institution listed. If the user is a
member of 2 or more institution, the user can choose with which
institution to associate the group. If the user is a site admin, he can
choose between all institutions on the site.

Notes:

1. This addition does not prevent non-institution members from joining /
being added. There is no change to that part as the admin can still
control (if they so wish) whether they allow non-institution members to
join.

2. If the user changes institutions or a member from another institution
becomes a group admin, the association with the institution does not
change. If the institution shall be changed, a site admin would need to
do that.
