Description Colin Arnott 2016-09-08 12:28:11 UTC

Document URL: 
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-cloudforms/4.1/managing-providers/#Adding_a_Satellite_6_Provider

Section Number and Name: 
2.1.3.6 Adding a Satellite 6 Provider: username

Describe the issue: 
The Satellite provider currently suggests a user with administrative access, my security standards prevent me from giving cart blanch access to my Satellite environment. Can you please enumerate the permissions required by CFME so that I can use least privilege when creating the CFME user for my Satellite environment. 

Suggestions for improvement: 
Add a section indicating required permissions for the Satellite provider.

Moving to the default assignee for triaging.

Raising needinfo against Brandon for comment #2.

Comment 5 Andrew Dahms 2017-08-28 23:02:24 UTC

Cancelling old needinfo request.

Comment 6 Andrew Dahms 2018-04-04 04:42:06 UTC

Thank you for raising this bug.

After further discussion with the program team, we have been given the advice not to document specific permissions for service accounts at this time based on the following article -

http://cloudformsblog.redhat.com/2017/08/16/security-management-operations/

As such, I will be closing this bug for now, but we can re-investigate this request again in the future if required.
