Issue/Introduction

When the Software Portal Managers try to approve the request, they receive the error "A problem occurred while loading the Software Portal. Contact IT Helpdesk for assistance"

The NS log shows an entry like:

MainController failure.
An item with the same key has already been added.

Steps to Reproduce:

  • Create user security group [IT Users]
  • Add User1 User2
  • Add Manager1 Manager 2
  • All users/managers are in IT Users group
  • User1 reports to Manager1
  • User2 Reports to Manager2
  • Manager2 reports to Manager1
  • Open SoftwarePortal and add IT Users group for both managers
  • Request Software with User2
  • Open SoftwarePortal with Manager1 (or Manager2)
  • Navigate to User Requests page, see the error.
