Libraries for foreman api handling like https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-foreman use /api/status url to determine which foreman version is installed, which in my opinion is quite good behaviour. But foreman requires admin rights to access such information, if you are trying to script this as normal user, this is not possible. I couldn't come up with any reasonable way why it should be restricted only to admin. Please elaborate, why is it the case or please fix it that this restriction in not present. Or that you can configure the rights. Thank you
