Mule ESB Cluster - MMC - Server Not showing in Server List drop down

I couldn't find this in any of the MMC forum so I tried to solve it and I found a way how to make it work.

The problem was, when you have two ESB server and both server were in a Group Server and under your permission group, you don't want the user to restart the server or view what's inside the server. All you want to do is to allow the user to deploy the application and the user can view the flows and of course, it must be a cluster configuration so I make both server into Cluster using the MMC, unfortunately, after converting it to cluster, the server dropdown list is empty and error in flows like somekind of authority.

I found a workaround for this and it took me a while to solve it. The mule support suggested to check the Server View under Server Group Permission ALL, but this approach, the user will be able to see what's inside the Cluster like Node, JVM, Property, etc and I don't want that the user is allowed to do that because it is so risky especially the ESB has multiple application running.

The mule support create a defect ticket on this to MMC Engineering team.

If you want the solution for this, let me know...
