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.

Fixed In Version: ipa-3.0.0-1.el6
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
Feature: Allow Administrators delegate write privileges to selected zone only. Reason: When Administrator wanted to delegate privileges to update DNS zone to other Identity Management user, he had to allow write access to entire DNS tree which may not be always appropriate. Result (if any): Administrator can use dnszone-add-permission command to create a system permission allowing its assignee to read and write only a selected DNS zone managed by Identity Management.

Description Jason Montleon 2012-03-09 21:15:40 UTC 
Description of problem:
Right now it does not look as though there is a way to restrict access for users so that they can only edit specific zones. In a large enough organization it is unreasonable to expect that there are not different groups responsible for maintaining different zones.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-2.1.3-9.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install IPA
2. update dns entries permission to users
3. Try to restrict access to specific domains
  
Actual results:
No way to limit access

Expected results:
There should be a way to limit access

Additional info:
Even better would be the ability to go so far as to edit a specific PTR/A/CNAME record. This might be useful for self service scenarios where a user has been given a static lease in order to allow them to update their dns name on their own.

For an A record, allow them to change the name but not the ip address, and so on.

master: https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/changeset/52f69aaa8ab4d633bbeb96799bf96e8a715d0ae0

With this fix, you can use new command "dnszone-add-permission $ZONE" to generate a system permission that grants its members read and write permissions to given $ZONE (and not to any other zone).
