The worker group assignment is currently transparently updated, saving the last group a worker used to authenticate. When multiple scripts are running on one worker with different working groups this causes confusion (e.g. if_storage_ temporary used worker group_minions_).

There are multiple possible enhancements here. First it should be tracked which services a worker (currently) runs scripts for. It may also be useful to track workers across different working groups (e.g. with last seen).

The second enhancement is about the ticket log: it should be shown there which working group the worker was currently in when completing (or beginning) an action.

Maybe something like this:

if there is an update to last seen, e.g. a worker authenticates within a Worker group 2 where it has not been before, apply following logic:

• create worker in WG2
• leave entry in WG1 (the one it used before)
• display workers like 'WG/hoststring'
• implement AJAX delete button in worker view
