Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1245624
Taxonomy selectors are empty even for users with assign permissions
Last modified: 2016-07-27 04:54:01 EDT
A "patch":https://github.com/theforeman/foreman/commit/887e2fd9 that added authorization to multiple selects broke the taxonomies selects. It calls authorized without any arguments which means it check for any permission for a default resource (which is self). This can't work for Taxonomy (and other STI models) because permissions are mapped to children resources. Also I think that there should be view_$resource permission checked instead of any permission (not 100% sure about this though).
Created from redmine issue http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/11187
Upstream bug assigned to mhulan@redhat.com
Please provide repro steps from QE/user perspective.
Steps to verify 1. create a user (not admin) with view_organizations and assign_organizations permissions filtered with expression 'name ~ visible*'. 2. create 3 organizations with names "visible1", "visible2", "hidden" 3. put user to organization visible1 4. create some taxable resource, e.g. domain and assign it to organizations visible1 and hidden 5. make sure user have permissions to view and edit the resource 6. make sure the user does not have other roles giving him full access to organizations (e.g. Manager role) 7. log in as user and edit the resource (domain), in the form you should see Organizations tab listing only visible1 and visible2, assign them both 8. it should save the resource 9. re-login as admin and verify that the resource belongs to visible1, visible2 and also it remained assigned to hidden organization Without the fix, you'd always see empty list of organizations as user.
Verified ! @ Sat 6.2 Snap 20.2 GA Followed steps from Comment 7 and I observed the expected behavior mentioned in step 9 as : After re-login as admin and verified that the resource belongs to visible1, visible2 and remained assigned to hidden organization as well. So moving this BZ to verified state!
