Hello all!
I am new to Foreman. So far I find it awsome 
I find the documentation (especially the manual) is of very good quality
That's a nice change compared to other projects!
I am trying to provision windows to bare metal and I got most of it working.
I am just struggling on a silly thing. When writing a template, you may
access the "parameters" defined in a host using @host.params["paramName"],
but how would you do it for accessing parameters defined for an Operating
System?
I already tried a number of things but all failed 
I have had an
extensive look at the questions and doc but could not find a reference to
this.
Also, more generally, what do use to create template? Just the editor in
foreman or others?
Thanks a lot!

Have you tried this?
<%= @host.params['your os parameter key'] %>
@host.params should contain parameters that come from all sources
associated with the host, including domain, operating system, subnet,
and hostgroup. I've just tried it and it worked on my Foreman.
Permissions-wise:
Notice your user needs to either be an administrator, or have a role
with a permission 'view_params' to be able to access these parameters.
In addition to the 'view_params' permission, the user that wants to
access these parameters needs to be able to have a permission to view
the object (e.g 'view_operating_systems' and 'view_hosts')
You can use 'foreman-rake console' to experiment with this, the
templates are written in ERB which means you can write Ruby code in
between <%= %> tags.

I normally just use the editor

Hi there,
Thanks a lot Daniel!
I am now able to render the template base on OS Parameters and able to
provision windows
Cheers,
