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.

Business Case
Due to an unspecified security compliance being in use, it is required to have disabled sudo for all accounts, to not allow the root account to SSH into the remote machine and switching to root account must require the user to supply the root password. Usage of dzdo is not suitable either. Therefore, in this case it is necessary to use su as the effective user method, but with password. This is currently not possible due to su being available only as passwordless option. 

Technical Requirements:
Providing a new parameter to specify su password, similar to the already present "Sudo password" in settings (or "ansible_sudo_pass" in case of Ansible jobs)

Additional information: 
This concerns primarily "Run Commands - SSH Default" and "Run Commands - Ansible Default" templates.
