#2271 Administrative Roles given the permission to change a user password should not be able to change user's passwords that are in the Administrators Group
Closed: Fixed None Opened 12 years ago by dpal.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=773759

Description of problem:
With IPA and delegated administration, at this time, there is no concept of
"scoping" those permissions.  However, the permission "Change a user passwd",
needs to by default exclude users in the Administrators group ... or any help
desk or User admin can change the administrator's password without being
prompted for the existing password.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a new user and assign the user a password
2. Assign the new user the helpdesk role that contains "Change a user password"
permission
3. kinit as the user
4. change the admin user's password
   ipa passwd admin

Actual results:
help desk admin can change passwords of users in Administrators group

Expected results:
Denied being able to change the password
