Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: Cause: Web UI does not take into account when non-admin user is a member of an administrative role and thus have more privileges than doing just self-service actions Consequence: User with administrative role (e.g. a Host Admin) is not allowed to access the related administrative Web UI section (e.g. a Hosts tab) Fix: Show the full administrative tabset for users with a role Result: Users with administrative role can access the respective sections and proceed with allowed actions
