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 Bryan Kearney 2016-04-11 15:46:59 UTC

When using a non-admin user account to access /api/v2/config_templates/1 or any non-index action, the user receives a 404 response due to failing permissions.

The key part of the log is:

<pre>
2016-03-02T08:44:44 [permissions] [D] checking permission view_config_templates
</pre>

The controller_permission method in the config templates API controller which should force it to check provisioning_templates permissions isn't being taken into account.

It looks like the support for controller_permission from #9687 regressed in #8343.

Comment 4 jcallaha 2016-06-16 18:10:35 UTC

Verified in Satellite 6.2 Beta Snap 15.2

Now a user without the proper permissions is given the following response.

{
  "error": {
    "message": "Access denied",
    "details": "Missing one of the required permissions: view_provisioning_templates"
  }
}
