VNF appliances entry in menu does not disappear when VNF is completely denied for a role

ISSUE TYPE

• Bug Report

COMPONENT NAME

API?, UI

CLOUDSTACK VERSION

4.19.0.0

CONFIGURATION

We've set the following rules for our roles which are from Type DomainAdmin and User. deleteVnfTemplate: deny deployVnfAppliance: deny listVnfTemplates: deny registerVnfTemplate: deny updateVnfTemplate: deny

SUMMARY

Other entries in the menu disappear (for example VPC and Public IP addresses) if the corresponding rules are denied for a role. This is not true for the VNF appliances menu entry.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Set all rules for vnf to deny for the given role.
2. Check if the menu entry is still there after applying these changes.

EXPECTED RESULTS

Setting all vnf related rules to deny also remove the menu entry from the view for the role.

ACTUAL RESULTS

Vnf menu entry persists in view even after setting all corresponding rules to deny for the role.

code looks good, no idea why it did not work

        name: 'vnf.appliances',
        component: shallowRef(defineAsyncComponent(() => import('@/views/network/VnfAppliancesTab.vue'))),
        show: () => { return 'deployVnfAppliance' in store.getters.apis }

@dataCobra can you change the global setting vnf.template.appliance.enabled to false and retry ? you probably need to restart cloudstack-management service

Hey @weizhouapache,

I've changed the global setting and also restarted the cloudstack-management service.

Sadly the issue still persist.

Edit: I've also cleared the browser cache for the UI.

Thank you.

Hello,

I can hereby confirm that the PR fixes our problem. The menu entry now disappears as expected when the rules are set to "denied".

Thank you for the quick help.
