Description of problem:
The customer can view 'All Hosts' page, but when check 'Content Hosts' page, he receives the message:
'You currently don't have any Content Hosts, you can register one by clicking the button on the right and following the instructions.'
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.5.2.1
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new role
2. Assign the filter from the 'Hosts' drop-down of 'view_hosts'
3. Under this role, check the 'All Hosts' page first, then check the 'Content Hosts' page.
Actual results:
'You currently don't have any Content Hosts, you can register one by clicking the button on the right and following the instructions.'
Expected results:
Same list of hosts as shown in 'All Hosts', but on the 'Content Hosts' page.
Additional info:
Bryan,
Andrew summed it up well in Comment 4.
I know there's likely more going on under the hood than just a simple 'mirror' (for lack of a better term), but being unable to view any hosts on the 'Content Hosts' page that would be viewable on the 'All Hosts' page can make seemingly simple tasks (from a bulk actions perspective) tedious.
The current workaround is using the 'Content' button on the host page from the All Hosts view to reach the single host page, but that rules out being able to do any bulk tasks.
I hope this helps clarify the ask.
Thanks.

I think the "view_content_hosts" permission should no longer be used, even though it's still present in the app. It does not seem to be defined anywhere in Katello anymore, perhaps we need a cleanup procedure if there's by accident some leftover. The content host pages should be granted by "view_hosts" permissions. I verified the behavior on 6.5. Note that view_organizations is also necessary in order to select organization.
Also on updated satellite-6.5.0-11 instance, I no longer see the view_content_hosts permission anywhere.
Raising needinfo on the reporter to provide more info about what exactly is the expected fix. Does it work when you used built-in Viewer role? Please provide log with debug log level and permission enabled logger when user tries to access content host and fails.
Team,
When adding 'view_organizations' to the filter, the customer is able to view the Content Hosts page. This request can be closed as NOTABUG.
Thank you.
