managing local users in 4.2 ?

Hi, i tried to create a local user in oVirt 4.2 with "ovirt-aaa-jdbc-tool user add" (like i did in oVirt 4.1.9). the command worked ok, but the created user wasn't visible in the web gui. i then used the "add" button in admin portal to add the already existing user and after that the user was visible. i didn't have to do that in 4.1.9, the "add" button was already there the, but i didn't know what to do with it. how did managing local users change in 4.2? thx matthias

ok, i got it: only after setting actual permissions for a user he/she appears automatically in Admin Portal - Administration - Users. this was different in 4.1.9 IIRC matthias

Sorry, but that behavior didn't change since 3.5/3.6. Only users which has directly assigned a permission are listed there. But those users are visible in all Add Permission tabs right after creating by aaa-jdbc tool.

Indeed the behaviour has not changed. When adding users at 4.1 with ovirt-aaa-jdbc-tool i still need to add them through gui for users to be listed in gui. Alex On Sun, May 6, 2018, 12:58 Martin Perina <mperina@redhat.com> wrote:
