Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-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 Namita Soman 2012-01-18 17:29:53 UTC 
Description of problem:
When using addattr or setattr, permissions cannot be modified to pick those new attributes

1> Add a permission
# ipa permission-add ManageUser --permissions="read,write" --type=user --attr=carlicense

-----------------------------
Added permission "ManageUser"
-----------------------------
  Permission name: ManageUser
  Permissions: read, write
  Attributes: carlicense
  Type: user

2> Use setattr to modify permissions:
# ipa permission-mod --setattr permissions=read ManageUser
[Attributes]: carlicense
[Type]: user
[Member of group]: 
[Filter]: 
[Subtree]: 
[Target group]: 
ipa: ERROR: no modifications to be performed

3> Check if any changes were made:
# ipa permission-show --all --raw ManageUser
  dn: cn=manageuser,cn=permissions,cn=pbac,dc=testrelm
  cn: ManageUser
  permissions: read
  permissions: write
  attrs: carlicense
  type: user
  objectclass: groupofnames
  objectclass: ipapermission
  objectclass: top

4> Also tried:
# ipa permission-mod --addattr attrs=description ManageUser
[Attributes]: audio
[Type]: user
[Member of group]: 
[Filter]: 
[Subtree]: 
[Target group]: 
--------------------------------
Modified permission "ManageUser"
--------------------------------
  Permission name: ManageUser
  Permissions: read, write
  Attributes: audio
  Type: user
