1192484 – user with limited rights can see Content -> Errata menu item but it produces "403 - Permission Denied" page only

Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Jan Hutař 2015-02-13 13:50:25 UTC

Description of problem:
User with limited rights can see Content -> Errata menu item but it produces "403 - Permission Denied" page only. Context "Default Organization@Default Location" is selected.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite-6.1.0-RHEL-6-20150210.0-Satellite-x86_64


How reproducible:
always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. created a role "role1" via admin user
2. added following permissions to "role1":
     content-view resource type - create, view and publish CV
     product resource type - view product
     activation-key resource type - create, update, destroy, view
     lifecycle env resource type - view
3. created a user user1 and assign role1 to this user
4. logout with admin and login with user1


Actual results:
One of the items user1 can see in menu "Content" is "Errata". Clicking on it generates 403 http error page

  403 - Permission Denied
  You are not authorised to perform this action.
  Please request the required privileges from an administrator.


Expected results:
"Errata" menu item should not be there.


Additional info:
Probably not all of the permissions from 2nd step of "Steps to Reproduce" are needed to reproduce, but this was reported when testing bug 1112234 and I had this setup handy.

Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2015-02-13 13:53:22 UTC

Since this issue was entered in Red Hat Bugzilla, the release flag has been
set to ? to ensure that it is properly evaluated for this release.

Comment 3 Eric Helms 2015-02-26 00:00:31 UTC

I am not able to reproduce this with the latest.

Comment 4 Jan Hutař 2015-02-26 09:53:10 UTC

I have followed the reproducer and I can still see "Content -> Errata" when logged in as "user1"

Comment 6 Eric Helms 2015-03-09 13:36:08 UTC

Testing this on latest I am not able to reproduce this issue.

Comment 9 Corey Welton 2015-03-11 19:19:10 UTC

This does indeed stil take place in Satellite-6.1.0-RHEL-6-20150310.0


Adding the specific roles as referenced in initial report, and creating a user which has those roles only, I get top-level menu items of

Monitor
Content

Within Content, there is definitely an Errata tab, which leads to a 403.  Will be attaching a screenshot
