Created attachment 1638766 [details] No UI Error Visible Description of problem: When using a non-kubeadmin user, there was a need to have the Pipelines Operator installed. Navigating to the OperatorHub and finding the Operator was not an issue. However, when attempting to subscribe, I hit a 403 Forbidden error but nothing was rendered in the UI. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.3.0-0.ci-2019-11-21-103638 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in as a user without permissions to create an Operator subscription but has view access (see additional info for the script I used to create the user) 2. Navigate to the OperatorHub 3. Search for OpenShift Pipelines Operator 4. Click on the card and hit the Install button 5. Once the "Create Operator Subscription" page loads click the Subscribe button Actual results: Nothing happens, error in the console (attached) Expected results: Not to be able to get this far into the Operator Hub or to at least see an error in the UI that informs me I don't need to try to click the button again. Additional info: Script used to create the user is found here: https://github.com/redhat-developer/devconsole-operator/blob/master/hack/install_devconsole/create_user.sh

Making this high severity since we're suppressing any error creating the subscription.
To reproduce this problem, assign a user the cluster-reader role. They'll be able to see the OperatorHub UI, but creating subscriptions will silently fail.

Unfortunately, there's no good check we can make before the user gets to this page. You pick the namespace inside this form, and you can have different permissions for different namespaces. We might be able to show a message for the selected namespace before submit, however. Regardless we need to handle other creation errors.
That's understandable... the error does display a 403 Forbidden, so at least that would inform me that I don't have access to this action (subscribe to the operator). Perhaps nothing has to happen prior to that as you may not know if the user has permissions to everything that is happening.
1. Assign testuser-0 as cluster-reader $ oc adm policy add-cluster-role-to-user cluster-reader testuser-0 Warning: User 'testuser-0' not found clusterrole.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/cluster-reader added: "testuser-0" 2. login console as testuser-0, Operators -> Operator Hub -> OpenShift Pipeline Operator -> Install -> click Subscribe button. An error message will show on page instead of fail silently An error occurred subscriptions.operators.coreos.com is forbidden: User "testuser-0" cannot create resource "subscriptions" in API group "operators.coreos.com" in the namespace "openshift-operators" Verified on 4.4.0-0.nightly-2019-11-25-183933
