I tried to change the permission of discussion "post (Post comments, subject to moderation)", from "anonymous" to "member". It gave me the error:
Error 500
We're sorry but we weren't able to process this request.
Where was I wrong?
Thanks.
Steven.

I was able to duplicate this issue

    Fix on branch db/7839

    This occurs only if the data for project roles somehow has an unnamed role assigned to permissions, which I don't think is possible with the current UI. The error is:

    File '/var/local/allura/Allura/allura/app.py', line 995 in update
  ', '.join(map(lambda role: role.name, filter(None, groups + del_groups))),
TypeError: sequence item 1: expected string or Unicode, NoneType found

    You can reproduce this by creating a new Group in the main permissions page. Then go to a tool's permission page and assign that group to a specific permission. Then remove the group's (role's) name in mongo with: db.project_role.update({name:'myname'}, {$set: {name:null}}). Then on the tool permission page you'll see "None" show, and if you try to delete it or make other changes to that permission, you get the error.

    Looks good; clear to merge.
