Output after saving the filter

Can you check whether the role has been assigned to some organization or location? That has also impact on the unlimited flag. Also I don't see anything private in the report, could you publish it please?

Hello Marek,

I tried with Organization and Location and the unlimited flag was not getting set.

Also tried with Default Org and Default Location, still same issue persists.

If role is assigned to any organization or location, unlimited will always be empty since it's limited by the organization/location. It's a bit confusing, since you explicitly check "unlimited" checkbox, but that's for the search field below. You can't make filter unlimited if its resource is taxable (supports orgs and locs) and the role is assigned to some. It would be bug if this was a role which is not assigned to any organization and location.

Hello Marek,

I tried by not assigning a Location and Organisation to the Role and still its not saving the unlimited option.

Whereas in Satellite 6.3, Even if we assign the Default Org and Default Location, the Unlimited check option used to get saved and reflected

Hello Marek,

Let me try this on some other test Satellite to re-check the result and will update you.

Please, upload a screen shot of first tab of form edit page if it does not work - the tab Role. On my 6.5 instance, it works as I described. In 6.3, assigning org and loc to role didn't have any effect on filter. Starting with 6.4 it does (org admin feature outcome). If that works, I'd suggest closing. The inline help of the unlimited checkbox already explains this.

1- Create a role with no org or location
2- Add a filter 
 2.1- select ANY resource
 2.2- select ANY permission
 2.3- un-check the 'Unlimited?' check-box
 2.4- do not provide value for 'Search'
 2.4- submit the filter form
3- upon submitting the form, below message shown-

Successfully updated filter for test-role role.

When we limit the resource, we need to mention the filter criteria(i.e. value for 'Search' field). Means, we have to provide value for the 'Search' field. Without the criteria there is no point of having 'Unlimited?' un-checked. I think the message rendered upon the form submission is creating the confusion. I think, message should say something like-

Search criteria is required if 'Unlimited?' is un-checked.


Attached image is after submitting the form with 'Unlimited?' un-checked with empty 'Search', it shows the successful message while Filters page does not show the 'Unlimited' column ticked. So, functionality is working fine however, putting a validation on 'Unlimited', 'Search' field would be fine.

filter with restrictive criteria

I asked for the Role tab. Also in this role I don't see view_facts filter, how is the screenshot related?

Hello Marek,

I tested on one more satellite 6.5 and found that for a  role which is not assigned to any organization and location the unlimited option gets checked for the view_facts filter.

Thanks for confirmation, closing as NOTABUG since this is desired behavior, the unlimited checkbox inline help says 

"If the unlimited field is enabled, the filter applies to all resources of the selected type. If the unlimited field is disabled, you can specify further filtering using Foreman search syntax in the search field. If the role is associated with organizations or locations, the filters are not considered unlimited as they are scoped accordingly."
