Description Akash Chandrashekar 2009-01-19 17:15:35 UTC

Satellite creates a deafult new user that is BOTH Organizational admin AND Satellite Admin. This user cannot create a new Satellite Admin (greyed out). 

And hence there is no way of creating a new Satellite Administrator

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to users panel 
2. Create new user 
3. Attempt to change priveleges of user to Satellite admin --which cannot be done
  
Actual results:

greyed out choice box for Satellite Admin

Expected results:

You actually can create new Satellite administrators, you just need to go to :

https://<yoursat.redhat.com>/rhn/admin/multiorg/Users.do

and manage it on this page.

but I think we should modify the user details page to support adding/removing sat admin from individual users.

Comment 2 Akash Chandrashekar 2009-01-29 05:11:16 UTC
Hello, I told that in addition that the Satellite Tools tab is the place to go to do this. Is that correct?

Comment 3 Clifford Perry 2009-01-29 17:25:49 UTC
Comment #2 - yes - under Satellite Tools. 

The granting of Satellite Admin is a Satellite Administrative task, which is why it is kept within one central location and not split out under the 'users' tab of the Satellite - which is mainly used by Org Admins to manage user roles within their Org. 

Cliff.

Comment 4 Akash Chandrashekar 2009-01-29 18:12:29 UTC
Good enough for me as it makes sense as to HOW to get it done - which was my primary goal. 

Is there a way we can get two things accounted for: 

1) Documentation that clearly explains (and I think there is a bit of a reference, but perhaps geared to 5.0 satellite? ) as what the primary difference is between the roles, and what their capabilities are. 

2) The addition of a section that indicates how to add such a user trough Sat-tools as explained above by Clifford Perry.
