Description Petr Vobornik 2016-10-14 12:39:25 UTC 
Description of problem:
This bz is based on https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/6376 FreeIPA won't implement ticket #6376 because the RBAC permissions for help desk might depend on organization needs/structure.

Adding general "modify" permission as for other objects might cause a security risk - more on http://www.freeipa.org/page/V4/OTP#Helpdesk

A possible way to resolve lost token and what security risk a general permission might cause should be documented.

Otline, how to resolve lost token:
1. admin can enable password auth for the user
2. user can then create new otp token 
3. user can remove old token
4. admin can disable password auth
