How to hide some server offerings?
Hey all,
I was wondering, I have some server offering that should just be used by
the administrator, so, is it possible to hide them from normal users?
I noticed that when I am creating a service offering there is a check-box
called public? So, I created some service offering that would be used just
for by the administrator, but they are appearing for all users (I did not
check that checkbox).
I also tried to check and uncheck the check-box(by the way it seems there
is a javascript problem on that page) and then selecting a domain like
root, but still the offerings are appearing to everybody.
Is it the expected behavior?
Do you happen to know if I can change any flag on the database and hide
them from normal users?

Then use my previous suggestion. To write it again, step by step
tutorial style.
For users:
1. Create a new domain uder ROOT, let's say Public.
2. Create users in this Public domain.
3. Create service offerings specific/tied to Public domain.
For admins:
1. Create a new domain under ROOT, let's say Private.
2. Create service offerings specific/tied to Private domain.
Service offerings from Private and Public domain will be available to
Administrators and service offerings from and only from Public domain
will be available to users in Public domain.
I could also write using CAPS LOCK as you did, but i don't think it
would help you understand any better.
Good luck and Regards,
F.

So you want to have a user(s), that can create new infrastructure
(compute, storage nodes, networks) but it's not able to create service
offerings on them? I guess no one envisioned such a need. Normally if
one can manage infrastructure on which services will reside, it should
be able to create service offerings too.
For what you're trying to to (if i understand you right), i would have
set up different, discrete CS installs.

Move those "administrators" to their own domains as normal users.
Administrators will always be able to see/configure everything, that's
the basic point of being administrator.

It's called inheritance.
I put my public users to public domain.
I put my private users to their private domain(s).
And then I put specific service offerings to specific domains and are
visible only there.
I guess if i wanted something cross domains i would put it to domain
root (like you) and everyone (because it's under domain root) would be
able to use it.

Create domains and domain specific service offerings.

Rafael,
You can add a jira ticket and/or write a functional spec on the wiki. Of
course if you want guarantee that it will be doen, you'll have to do it
yourself. You can ask on the dev list for help if you don't feel up to it.

Re: How to hide some server offerings?

Rafael, there is no way to filter offerings by the caller type, not even
in the DB.
"Public" attribute means that the offering is available to everyone in the
cloud; there is another alternative - offering can be domain specific. In
this case it can be used by all users from this domain/its subdomains.
As a workaround, you can set the name for the offerings you want to be
visible to admin, with some prefix. And filter out those offerings when
return the result to the regular user - but for that some custom
modifications need to be done in the CS UI.
