Issue When Attempting to Add Class to Host Group

Support
1

Hello –

I'm in the process of attempting to write a role to restrict access to
certain aspects of Foreman. I've begun by cloning the "Viewer" role, and
then adding permission for the role to

view_hostgroups,
create_hostgroups,
edit_hostgroups,
view_puppetclasses,
create_puppetclasses,
destroy_puppetclasses,
edit_puppetclasses, and
import_puppetclasses

Then, when I click on Configure > Host Groups and select a hostgroup, then
browse to the Puppet Classes tab, I'm unable to add or remove classes from
the Host Group. When I hover over the class I want to add or remove, I
receive a context message explaining that my role is "Not authorized to
edit classes."

What am I missing?

Thanks,
– Adam

Try adding the "edit_classes" permission (under "HostClass"), I think
that's the one that controls associations from hosts/host groups to
Puppet classes.
