Im fairly new to foreman and I'm sure this should be possible but can't
figure it out. I am setting multiple foreman users and need to filter the
hosts available to them based on hostname. The hostname naming convention
in my company is a bit backwards - hostnames are prefixed with the team
responsible for it, eg test-server1, dev-server1 etc. What i mean is that a
user needs to be restricted to machines called test-* or dev-*, etc.
I'm pretty sure I need to be able to create a filter with wildcards (or
even full on regex) but the only operators available are standard numeric
ones (no 'like' or ~) and I cant find any wildcard characters (ive tried %
and *).
Are wildcards supported? This seems quite a basic feature - Im sure I'm
missing something.
You are correct, regexs do not seem to be available for fact filters. Feel
free to open a feature request for it.
In the meantime, I'd probably solve this with usergroups - add all the
"test" staff to a "Test" usergroup, and then assign hosts to the "Test"
usergroup - then when you tick "Owned Hosts" they should be able to see the
hosts in the Test group.
HTH,
Greg

I think there might be better filter, but this should work too:
name ~ "dev-"
I don't think we support regexp, but this is like LIKE operator.

Okay, what Greg says. Also, you may want to enable
Organizations/Locations and use Location for that. I should use "abuse"
word instead Location, but maybe you separate those groups physically as
well.

Sorry, I must be missing something here. Where is the organisations
configuration? Any documentation?

I thought - filters - scoped-search - done
