Bug 2040637

Hi,

I was wondering about this as well, I'm not sure what is the answer, but consider two following points:

1) Host has hostgroup assigned, that already has 15-20 roles assigned to it
   - if roles are in order in which they are executed, user see only the Hostgroup roles in the page and needs to use pagination to get to the Host assigned roles

2) Fetching all roles from the server is bit slower and thus user will be waitig for that longer
   - this might not be hard issue, but if 90% of Users want to see only the directly assigned, should we have all the users waiting longer just for the 10% who wants to see more?


Please consider these points and let us know if you still think we should show all roles. If you do, I'll take it to our UX experts for further discussion. OTH if you agree with my points, please close this :)

Ondřej, that is a valid point. How about making it configurable in settings?

Well I do not think that setting for such a small thing make sense. It says "we couldn't make up our mind, so it's up to you" that usually is an antipattern. We were talking about these cases in upstream and we believe that for all users it make sense to be more opinionated and give users less choices for them not to be overwhelmed with choices :)

Fair enough. Then I would prefer to have all assigned Roles listed as in Satellite 6.

So after a discussion with our UX, we've come up with a check-box on top of the table that would allow you to show/hide inherited roles.
Would that be better than what we have now and would that solve this BZ in your opinion? ;)

Yes, that is a fine solution and would solve this BZ. :)

Created redmine issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/34380 from this bug

Just a quick comment:

If a host has roles inherited from host group but *doesn't* have any roles directly assigned (outside of host group) then the page returns 'No Ansible roles assigned'. There's no way to see roles inherited from the host group.

If a host has at least 1 role directly assigned then 'view all assigned roles' hyperlink pops up where you can see roles inherited from host group.

The behavior from Comment 9 has been fixed by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2111921

At this point, I believe this functionality is delivered in Satellite 6.12, therefore closing as CURRENTRELEASE. If I missed something, please let me know.

Reopening based on the conversation with the reporter. It is still suboptimal that user needs to click on the link to see the roles inherited from the host group. Based on the comment 5 there was an agreement on the implementation. Maria, do we have any mock for this or was this conversation captured somewhere?
