Description Andrew Dahms 2018-01-08 23:54:10 UTC
Red Hat CloudForms 4.6 adds the ability to hide the 'environment variables' table from containers providers. A simple procedure outlining why this is useful must be added to the Managing Providers guide to outline how to do so.

Comment 2 Andrew Dahms 2018-01-08 23:56:38 UTC
Assigning to Dayle for review.

Dayle - should be just a quick update. See the above for details, but the main reason why this is useful appears to be the ability to restrict access to environment variables for different users given that those variables can sometimes contain sensitive information.
