I can't reproduce on 6.2.0, you need a filter for resource Parameter and a permission called "destroy_params" to see the cross next to remove.

Comment 6 Peter Ondrejka 2016-10-10 13:37:23 UTC
Comment #5 confirmed on satellite-6.2.3-1.0, not possible to delete, however I wonder why display the "remove" string (see attachment) if it can't do anything? I suppose empty space under Actions would be more user-friendly.

Comment 8 Marek Hulan 2016-10-12 09:53:55 UTC
Peter, we tend to display actions that are not allowed so it's less confusing for user why sometimes see the link and sometimes now (e.g. if in one table they can see 2 params but can only delete one of them because of granular filter). If user does not have destroy permission for any parameter, the "destroy" is hidden for all of them. In this case it might be more confusing so if you feel this is a bug, we can probably hide it completely. Since this is already ON_QA, I'd suggest reporting a new BZ for that.

Comment 9 Peter Ondrejka 2016-10-12 11:22:30 UTC
OK, if this is a policy and not some forgotten element, than be it. Moving to verified as per comment 6.

Comment 10 Marek Hulan 2016-10-12 12:31:29 UTC
We have helpers for both, so it's a matter of specific page really.
