Description of problem:

api calls to the channel.software.syncRepo method require the user to have org admin role where the other channel api calls require channel_admin

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "syncRepo-cron.py", line 8, in <module>
    result = client.channel.software.syncRepo(key,'vmware-tools-rhel5','0 * * * * ?')
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/xmlrpclib.py", line 1199, in __call__

    return u.close()

    raise Fault(**self._stack[0])
xmlrpclib.Fault: <Fault -1: 'redstone.xmlrpc.XmlRpcFault: unhandled internal exception: You do not have permissions to perform this action. You need to have atleast a Organization Administrator role to perform this action'>

On close inspection we are sending over an async call to taskomatic api where we check specifically for org admin role. 

was going to create a patch to allo repo syncs to allow channel admin role
