I just installed the latest Umbraco version (7.10.1) on a blank SQL database. Since my project requires role based protection I created a few members and was about to create the appropriate member groups.

However, when I click the three dots on Member Groups folder and select Create I get the following YSOD:

Server Error in '/' Application.
Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: type
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:4.0.30319; ASP.NET Version:4.7.2633.0

Did anyone else had this problem? Or even better, does someone know how to fix this?

Thanks for any help

I get the same error in Umbraco version (7.10.1). I created member groups programmatically using the following method.

    static void CreateMemberGroup(string name)
    {
        Umbraco.Core.Services.IMemberGroupService mgs = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MemberGroupService;
        if (mgs.GetByName(name) != null)
        {
            return;
        }

        MemberGroup group = new MemberGroup()
        {
            Name = name
        };

        mgs.Save(group);
    }

You can also simply create a group with:

var memberService = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MemberService;  

memberService.AddRole("Group Name");

And delete it with:

var memberGroupService = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MemberGroupService;

var group = memberGroupService.GetByName("Group Name");

memberGroupService.Delete(group);

Just upgraded one of ours to 7.9.4 and can confirm it's fixed on this version also.

I'm getting this error now on 7.9.6 - Previously I was on 7.9.4 and it was working without issue.

Looking at the CMS source in github, looks like a fix was merged into branch 7.9.4 but was not included into 7.9.5 - So that's why it's also not in 7.9.6.... the >7.10.2 branch seems fine, so may i'll just try upgrade to that.

Probably you need to create a issue than at http://issues.umbraco.org

Is strange it's not included anymore.
