Feature #2890
open
Allow admin mode to be toggled.
Description
For users with admin privileges they currently see all hosts all of the time.
Given that 95% of time I am working as a non admin it would be good if I could toggle my own
admin privs on and off with a checkbox so that when I use the foreman interface most of the time
I am just like a "normal" user and only see my hosts for instance. It also offers some limited protection
agains me accidentally deleting everybody elses hosts.

Hey,
can you explain to me what you mean by toggling on and off? Apparently, we cannot allow everybody to toggle admin permissions on. I think I dont get this.

Hi,
Assuming I have admin privileges in the first place then when visiting the foreman UI there would be an additional check box.
Admin mode on/off.
If the checkbox is 'on' then everything is as now.
If the checkbox is 'off' then my admin privileges are dropped and resulting view of the interface is as if I did not have admin rights.
Of course in the latter case I still get the 'Admin Mode" box so I can reenable admin mode.

I think we should call it 'god mode' or maybe the foreman mode:)

Hmmm this is an interesting idea, but won't two browser sessions do the same work for you? I've never seen something similar in a intranet application. It's nice-to-have feature for sure. We are accepting patches! :-D
