Partner Integration: Offer Possibility to add their own menu, buttons and methods to be added by "overlay" of CloudForms UI
Can I get a little more information about the RFE? We already have custom buttons and there is another BZ related to custom menus (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1678151). How is this different from them? And I am not sure I understand what 'add by "overlay" of the Cloudforms UI' mean?

In this case, Partners will create Custom Button, Menu overlay, dialog and Method (Ansible modules) in their own repo and it will be merged in CF.
From the UI perspective I am extending the mechanism that we implemented for "Providers". Where provider authors can do this in their own repos. Newly this is to be possible from any "plugin" -- Rails Engine, that is added do ManageIQ. Furthermore where previously the newly added buttons (custom buttons) where displayes if the particular @record's namespace matched that of the provider. In this case there's going to be a method on the Toolbar extension class that will tell if the extension is to be displayed for a particular @record. For reference: this is the (existing) toolbar extension mechanism: https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq-ui-classic/pull/4262
