cannot destroy controller with other superuser's model

[Richard Harding]

I had a controller in gce with an admin. I created additional users to test a feature. I then filled the disk and needed to remove the controller. As the admin/superuser of the controller I expected to be able to destroy it without issue. Instead I was blocked on another superuser's model (rick) and had to grant myself access, destroy that model, and only then could I destroy the controller.

CLI log of what was going on below:

@Richard Harding,

What Juju version did you use? Model listing/discovery has been changed in from 2.3, I *believe*. I wonder if it is a new and introduced issue or whether it is an existing bug...

[Anastasia (anastasia-macmood)]

Spoke off-line and we'd need to try all versions of Juju as this environment was destroyed. Potentially, this could be happening in all supported Juju 2.x...
