Description of problem: Default "Host Enrollement" privilege fails when is used to join a new server Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ipa-admintools-4.2.0-15.el7_2.19.x86_64 libipa_hbac-1.13.0-40.el7_2.12.x86_64 ipa-python-4.2.0-15.el7_2.19.x86_64 sssd-ipa-1.13.0-40.el7_2.12.x86_64 ipa-client-4.2.0-15.el7_2.19.x86_64 ipa-server-4.2.0-15.el7_2.19.x86_64 redhat-access-plugin-ipa-0.9.1-2.el7.noarch python-libipa_hbac-1.13.0-40.el7_2.12.x86_64 How reproducible: Trying to register a new server using a user with the privilege "Host Enrollement" results on: "Joining realm failed: No permission to join this host to the IPA domain." Adding permission "System:Add Hosts" to the role makes host to be correctly joined o the realm. Actual results: Host are not being joined using the default "Host Enrollement" privilege Expected results: Host to be joined Additional info:
This is by design to handle the case where you don't want to delegate the creation of host entries.
per triage on Tue Sep 13, this is expected as Rob wrote in comment 2.
