5.3.5. Creating a Complete Permission Table

Procedure

1. Ensure that the required packages are installed. Execute the following command on the Satellite Server:

   # satellite-maintain packages install foreman-console

2. Start the Satellite console with the following command:

   # foreman-rake console

   Insert the following code into the console:

   f = File.open('/tmp/table.html', 'w')
   
   result = Foreman::AccessControl.permissions {|a,b| a.security_block <=> b.security_block}.collect do |p|
         actions = p.actions.collect { |a| "<li>#{a}</li>" }
         "<tr><td>#{p.name}</td><td><ul>#{actions.join('')}</ul></td><td>#{p.resource_type}</td></tr>"
   end.join("\n")
   
   f.write(result)

   The above syntax creates a table of permissions and saves it to the /tmp/table.html file.

3. Press Ctrl + D to exit the Satellite console. Insert the following text at the first line of /tmp/table.html:

   <table border="1"><tr><td>Permission name</td><td>Actions</td><td>Resource type</td></tr>

   Append the following text at the end of /tmp/table.html:

   </table>

4. Open /tmp/table.html in a web browser to view the table.
