Description

foreman v1.0.1 ( seen on 1.0 as well)

If I have a user with 'view' permissions and no filters ticked then

https://foreman/hosts shows a list of all hosts
https://foreman/hostgroups does not show any hostgroups, in foreman < 1 it used to show all hostgroups.

as soon as I tick a hostgroup in a filter then

https://foreman/hosts shows just the hosts in the particular ticked host groups.
https://formann/hostgroups shows just the hostgroups from the filter.

There seems to be no easy way to configure a user such that they can see a list
of all hostgroups with out ticking all the host groups in the filter and maintaining that.

Just stumbled across this today when trying to figure out why my program using the API couldn't retrieve the list of HostGroups unless the user was made Administrator. Since I'd like this user to be read-only that's not an option.

Oddly enough, contrary to the original report, it can list the hosts, just not the hostgroups. Very odd. Foreman v1.0.

Adding all the HostGroups to the filter works fine.
