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.

Description Sayan Das 2019-10-01 11:59:36 UTC 
Description of problem:

Non-Admin Users cannot access their own table_preferences via REST API, no matter what possible combination of roles has been assigned to them.

The same user will be able to access the table_preferences, when you mark the user as "ADMIN".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
100 %

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a user "NA-USER" on Satellite GUI but don't mark it as Admin.

2. Try to access the API https://sat-fqdn/api/users/:id/table_preferences where the ":id" is the ID of "NA-USER" and authentication is being done by the same user.

3. Assign all the Roles to the user "NA-USER" but don't mark it as "Admin" and then try accessing the API again.


Actual results:
In both step 2 and 3, the REST api will return.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
{
    "error": {
        "message": "Access denied",
        "details": "Missing one of the required permissions: "
    }
}
~~~~~~~~~~~~


Expected results:
It should display the table_preferences without throwing any error.


Additional info:
If I mark the same user as Admin, it will be able to execute the API successfully and will be able to see the result as well.

I went through the discussion "https://community.theforeman.org/t/user-preferences/12007/4", but unable to get any pointers from the same which might help me to understand what might be the problem here.

Comment 5 Bryan Kearney 2020-01-17 17:02:20 UTC 
Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite 6 since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/28405 has been resolved.
Comment 6 Radovan Drazny 2020-06-25 14:33:08 UTC
