Plugins » Katello

Description of problem:
Go to Web UI -> Content -> Subscriptions -> pick a subscription with role, "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server with Smart Management, Premium (Physical or Virtual Nodes)" is a good candidate -> Details tab

Under "System Purpose" section, role is empty.

You can also reproduce via rest api:

curl -v -k -u "username:password" https://satellite.example.com/katello/api/organizations/1/subscriptions/<subscription id> | python -m json.tool {
...
"roles": null, <================== Role is null
"support_level": "Premium",
"support_type": "L1-L3",
"type": "NORMAL",
...
"usage": "Production",
...
}

Additional info:

It is because of the "s" word (plural). Candlepin calls it roles but Katello calls it role.

See the below lines in "glue/candlepin/pool.rb" for more details:
