Bug #5994
Power and Console links are disabled for non-admin users
Description
I just upgraded from 1.4.0 to 1.5 and noticed that all non-admin users aren't able to power or connect to the console on VMWare hosts' page. I've verified the roles to make sure "power_compute_resources_vms" and "console_compute_resources_vms" are allowed for these hosts, but the buttons continue to be disabled. The users can access https://foremanserver/hosts/hostname.domain/console URL directly so it looks like they have permission. This is causing a lot of confusion for our users and it looks like it might just be a bug in the frontend.

There are a couple of permissions controlling consoles: check that your users also have "console_hosts" under a Host/Managed filter. The console_compute_resource_vms is used when browsing compute resources I think, while the former is used when browsing hosts. Ditto for "power_hosts".

Thanks Dominic, I already have "view_hosts, create_hosts, edit_hosts, destroy_hosts, build_hosts, power_hosts, console_hosts" configured in the hosts/managed filter with the Unlimited checkbox checked.

My user is currently assigned the following roles:
Their permissions are currently set to the following (pretty much just no destroys):

You can disregard my previous comment. My issue was related to the unlimited checkbox not being checked. For some reason, even after checking this box "Unlimited" would show nothing. Deleting and re-adding the filters resolved my issue.
