Description Shruti Sampat 2013-10-04 11:07:56 UTC 
Description of problem:
-----------------------
When a user of RHSC is assigned with permissions to manipulate volumes tries to delete a volume, the user is not allowed to do so. The action fails with an error that the user is not authorized to perform this action.

"Error while executing action: User is not authorized to perform this action."

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Red Hat Storage Console Version: 2.1.1-0.0.2.master.el6ev 

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a role with permissions to create and manipulate volumes.
2. Assign this role to a user.
3. Login as that user, create a volume and try to delete it.

Actual results:
User is not allowed to remove the volume.

Expected results:
User should be allowed to delete the volume as removing a volume is part of manipulation.

Additional info:
Comment 2 Darshan 2013-10-31 04:54:08 UTC 
Now a separate check-box has been added for delete permission. If a user wants to delete a volume he must be given this permission.
Comment 3 Shruti Sampat 2013-11-07 11:43:18 UTC 
Verified as fixed in Red Hat Storage Console Version: 2.1.2-0.22.master.el6_4. A checkbox is seen with the delete volume permission under 'Configure Volumes'. When a user is provided this permission, the user can delete a volume.

It would be better to remove "all permission", as user with all permission will have manipulate permission also. So it would be more apt to have doc_text as follows: 

Previously, users with volume manipulate permission were unable to delete a volume. Now, with this update, a check-box is added for delete permission under Volume category to provide the volume deletion permission.
