Description Peter McGowan 2020-03-05 10:36:45 UTC
Description of problem:
The UI screen to create an embedded Ansible service allows the user to toggle the 'Escalate Privilege' slider to Yes/No, regardless of whether the previously selected Machine Credential contains a Privilege Escalation Username and Password.

If 'Escalate Privilege' is set to yes, but the Machine Credential does not contain Privilege Escalation credentials, the embedded Ansible playbook will hang, and the service will timeout and fail. From the user's point of view this is very difficult to troubleshoot, they just see the playbook as not running, with no indication as to why.

The 'Escalate Privilege' slider should be greyed out if the previously selected Machine Credential does not contain Privilege Escalation credentials.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
5.11.3.1

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable the embedded Ansible service.
2. Add a playbook repository
3. Define a playbook service using a playbook from the repository. Ensure that the 'Escalate Privilege' slider is set to 'Yes'. Create a new dialog.
4. Run the service, selecting 'CFME Default Credential' as the machine credential, and 'localhost' as the target host

Actual results:
The service doesn't run

Expected results:
The UI should stop me from creating a service that cannot run. The UI should be able to examine the selected machine credential and determine whether or not the 'Escalate Privilege' slider is a valid option for this service.

Additional info:
This BZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1809502 was created but the issue was deemed to be UI related.
