User groups disappear while upgrading to v19.0.0 about ona HOT 3 OPEN

Hi !
I had a similar issue before when I was upgrading from v13.03.01 to v19.0.1
It came from the MySQL database : if you didn't have modified your database, I think you should have a table named "groups". This table must be renamed "auth_groups" to become usable.
I'm not sure if this could be the origin of your problem, as I don't know the exact release this patch has been introduced (maybe the table "auth_groups" is already set up for v18.1.1), but I hope this will resolve your issue :)

@plotnikovanton As @HugoTH85 points out, the issue is that the table name has changed. The current state of the auto upgrade process is that it does not actually move the old table, it just creates a new one. You should be able to rename the old "groups" table to "auth_groups" and things should continue to function as they did.

This could have been handled a bit better for sure.

That did the trick. Thank you @HugoTH85 and @mattpascoe for the explanation. Should i close the issue or leave it here as prompt for other ONA users?
