OCPBUGS-65891: Follow up on fixing the remaining issues in the multi-group impersonation feature

[Leo6Leo]

Description

• Redirecting the user to /projects page to prevent the users who are lacking the RBAC
• Update the warning message with Allison’s proposed text: Impersonating a user grants you their exact permission. You must enter username, but you can also enter a group to simulate the permissions of a member of that group.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Post-impersonation now consistently redirects directly to the projects view, improving navigation after impersonation.

• UI/UX Updates

  • Clarified impersonation modal text: now specifies that a username is required and explains how entering a group simulates group member permissions.

In @frontend/public/components/modals/impersonate-user-modal.tsx:
- Around line 239-241: Update the alert string in the ImpersonateUserModal where
title={t(...)} to use "permissions" (plural) and add "a" before "username" so
the text reads: "Impersonating a user grants you their exact permissions. You
must enter a username, but you can also enter a group to simulate the
permissions of a member of that group." Make the same edit in the corresponding
localization entry used by t(...) so both the component and the locale file are
consistent.

In @frontend/public/locales/en/public.json:
- Line 949: Update the localization value for the impersonation message (the
string starting "Impersonating a user grants you their exact permission. You
must enter username, but you can also enter a group to simulate the permissions
of a member of that group.") to correct the grammar: change "permission" to
"permissions" and "enter username" to "enter a username" so the final string
reads: "Impersonating a user grants you their exact permissions. You must enter
a username, but you can also enter a group to simulate the permissions of a
member of that group."

frontend/public/components/modals/impersonate-user-modal.tsx (1)

356-369: LGTM! Button styling follows PatternFly conventions.

The "Impersonate" button correctly uses variant="primary" and the "Cancel" button uses variant="link", which aligns with the PR objectives and PatternFly best practices for modal actions.

frontend/public/components/masthead/masthead-toolbar.tsx (2)

855-856: Good RBAC-aware navigation change.

Redirecting to /k8s/cluster/projects after impersonation is a solid choice—it gives the impersonated user a clear view of their accessible namespaces/projects rather than potentially landing on a page they can't access.

One consideration: if the impersonated user has extremely restricted permissions (e.g., no list on projects), they may still see limited content. However, this is still a better UX than the previous approach since the projects page gracefully handles showing only accessible resources.

---

845-860: Impersonation handler logic is well-structured.

The conditional dispatch for UserWithGroups vs User based on group selection is correct. The flow properly:

1. Dispatches the appropriate impersonation action
2. Closes the modal
3. Navigates to the projects page

The sequence ensures clean state transitions.

- Around line 239-241: The user-facing sentence in the ImpersonateUserModal
title is missing the article "a"; update the string passed to t(...) in the
ImpersonateUserModal component (the title prop) to read "You must enter a
username" and also update the corresponding localization entry in public.json
(frontend/public/locales/en/public.json) so the i18n key/value matches the
corrected English text; ensure any other places using that localization key are

356-369: Button styling meets PR requirements.

The variant="primary" for the Impersonate button and variant="link" for Cancel aligns with PatternFly best practices and the stated PR objectives. The isDisabled binding to empty username state provides appropriate UX feedback. Good use of data-test attributes for e2e testing.

---

231-242: Solid modal structure with proper a11y considerations.

Good use of PatternFly's Modal composition with ModalHeader, ModalBody, and ModalFooter. The inline warning Alert appropriately sets user expectations about impersonation behavior before they interact with the form. The AlertVariant.warning is semantically correct for this cautionary guidance.

---

74-79: Group extraction handles load states correctly.

The useMemo dependency array correctly includes groupsLoaded and groupsLoadError, ensuring the derived availableGroups updates appropriately. Early return of empty array on error/loading prevents downstream issues. The sort provides consistent UX.

current changes including warning message and redirection update look good to me
