Description Namita Soman 2011-10-13 14:11:38 UTC

Description of problem:
A user is assigned the role of Host Admin, and kinits, goes to UI. This user cannot perform any Hosts related actions.
Same is true with any other role as well.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-2.1.2-2.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a user
2. Add a new Role - Host Admins, enroll the user added above
3. Edit this role, to enroll "Host Administrators" as a privilege
4. kinit as the user
5. Go to the UI
  
Actual results:
There is no Host tab

Expected results:
Host tab is available for this user to allow adding/editing hosts
