Seeking Clarification on Ansible Variables overrides

Support

Problem:
We’ve run into an issue while trying to integrate ansible functionality into Foreman, after users try to modify the variables in the roles assigned to a host (specifically using the UI that is under the Hosts → Ansible → Variables tab) they get an error indicating missing permissions, however the missing permission itself is empty:

"data": {
            "createAnsibleVariableOverride": null
        },
        "errors": [
            {
                "message": "Unauthorized. You do not have the required permission .",
                "locations": [
                    {
                        "line": 2,
                        "column": 3
                    }
                ],
                "path": [
                    "createAnsibleVariableOverride"
                ]
            }
        ]
    }
]

The weird part for me, if we go not through Ansible tab under the Host but into Ansible Variables directly and add a matcher specifying the fqdn manually - it works. Is it a bug?

Foreman and Proxy versions:
3.7.1

Foreman and Proxy plugin versions:
foreman_ansible - 12.0.6

P.S. If somebody would instruct me on what permission is missing - it would be appreciated.

It’s hard to say since the Foreman version is quite old. The best way to resolve this would be to upgrade your Foreman to a newer version. However, even with the older version, I would expect that with the view_ansible_variables and create_ansible_variables permissions, this should work.
