Description Alexander Braverman 2015-07-22 12:54:49 UTC 
Description of problem:
1. Discovery rules don't have organization or location limit, and so the filter 'Discovery rule' doesn't have option to limit by org\loc. 
Users from different org\loc  will able to modify rules that don't belong  to them. The current option is to use 'search' in the filter but its power is limited (e.g. user can create a filter that he will not see).

2. All discovered hosts assigned to a default org\loc. User must belong to that org\loc to see the hosts. 

How reproducible:
Create\set default org\loc X for discovered hosts.
Create a user Y which doesn't belong to that org\loc.
Run the discovery process for a host Z.

Actual results:
The host Z will be listed in discovered hosts for org\loc Z.
User X can't see the host in the discovered hosts page.

Expected results:
Host Z assigned to the correct org\loc by a rule without auto-provision.
Uses X sees the host in discovered hosts page.

Additional info:
A better option is to have a 'pre-rule' to assign hosts to the correct org\loc.
Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2015-07-22 12:55:24 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 Lukas Zapletal 2015-08-17 11:45:20 UTC 
Hello, in 6.1 we have actually introduced org/loc (we call a taxonomy) for discovery rules. Does this solve your requirement?
Comment 4 Alexander Braverman 2015-08-17 12:00:16 UTC 
I don't see how to apply the taxonomy on discovery rules in Satellite 6.1.1 
Available fields for a new rule are:
 - Name
 - Search
 - Host Group
 - Hostname
 - Template
 - Hosts limit
 - Priority
 - Enabled

Taxonomy wasn't added to 'Discovery Rule' filter (roles).
Is this an API\GUI issue now? if not, then it doesn't solve the requirement.

P.s this satellite was upgraded from 6.0.4 to 6.1 and then to 6.1.1 .
Comment 5 Lukas Zapletal 2015-08-24 12:52:41 UTC 
Sorry for the delay, currently the only supported way of setting taxonomy for discovered hosts are:

1) Global setting discovery_location/organization under Settings->Discovered (for all incoming hosts).

2) Providing custom facts named organization/location. This must be set via custom extension of the image and it can be only done programatically during the discovery phase.

Unfortunately, either via rules or when you do manual provisioning (Org/Loc on the Provision host screen is disabled) it is not possible to change taxonomy.

This is a valid RFE.
Comment 6 Lukas Zapletal 2015-08-24 13:16:51 UTC 
One extra thing: When global setting is not set (empty value), discovery uses the org/location for the subnet of the host (if there are multiple values, it takes the first one).

Comment 8 Lukas Zapletal 2015-08-26 06:37:01 UTC 
WORKAROUND: Org/Loc of discovered hosts can be changed via mass actions - select one or more discovered hosts via checkboxes on the left, then click on Select Action -> Assign Organization.
Comment 9 Alexander Braverman 2015-08-26 07:22:25 UTC 
"One extra thing: When global setting is not set (empty value), discovery uses the org/location for the subnet of the host (if there are multiple values, it takes the first one)."

This might actually work in my case, as typically the org's have different subnets.

"WORKAROUND: Org/Loc of discovered hosts can be changed via mass actions - select one or more discovered hosts via checkboxes on the left, then click on Select Action -> Assign Organization."
It still requires a user to belong to discovered hosts org/loc. And it might create problems when multiple users from different org/loc will have such role.

"One extra thing: When global setting is not set (empty value), discovery uses the org/location for the subnet of the host (if there are multiple values, it takes the first one)." this doesn't work
Comment 11 Lukas Zapletal 2015-10-19 12:59:26 UTC 
Alexander, you are right and we've fixed that already. Will be part of upcoming errata of 6.1. Here is the relevant bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1258521
Comment 12 Bryan Kearney 2016-06-15 16:07:43 UTC 
Moving to POST since upstream bug http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/4426 has been closed
Comment 15 Lukas Zapletal 2017-02-23 09:55:20 UTC 
Let me explain. Two issues were reported in this BZ:

1) Missing taxonomy for discovery rules. We have added these in upstream and Satellite NEXT will contain this.

2) Allow changing taxonomy on Provision host screen.

This is design limitation of how Discovery is implemented today, but we implemented a workaround or new screen called QUICK PROVISION which will be coming out as part of Satellite NEXT as well. It allows quick provisioning (assign hostgroup, taxonomy, submit).

This was fixed in http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/4426 (associated with this BZ).

Now the original issue that Provision host has taxonomy fields disabled that's part of bigger refactoring which is not yet planned. We are tracking this as:

http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/14035
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1324539

So I suggest to close this one, please associate customer cases with bug 1324539 if they want to track this RFE.

QA NOTES: Verify that taxonomy for discovery rules works. Verify that quick provision screen works and sets correct taxonomy.
Comment 16 Lukas Zapletal 2017-02-23 09:58:12 UTC 
One more note, in Satellite 6.3 there will be possibility to set taxonomy also this way:

1) Find discovered host, click Provision
2) On the Quick provision modal screen select taxonomy
3) Click on Provision (not Quick provision)
4) Edit details, note the taxonomy was set correctly now (but it's disabled)
5) Submit

QA NOTES: Please verify this as well.
Comment 17 Daniel Lobato Garcia 2017-08-23 10:04:36 UTC 
Verified.

Version tested: Satellite 6.3 Snap 12

See the attached video, it tests steps in Comment 16 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1245642#c16
