Unable to view permissions of public_key_read_access group in web ui [chef server 12.7.0] #898

Hi,

I've been tasked with detailing permissions for the various groups (users, admins, etc) as part of a SOX audit, unfortunately, I'm not able to view the permissions for the public_key_read_access group. The user I'm logged in with is a member of both users and admins, and both groups are a member of public_key_read_access. On every other group I'm able to view the permissions tab except for this one.

I looked at the database briefly and it seemed to indicate that my user had full permissions to the public_key_read_access group - is it possible that the web ui lacks the permissions to display that group somehow?

Any ideas for granting the needed permission to either myself or the user that the web ui authenticates as?

Alternatively, is there a workaround along the lines of a knife command or a psql statement I could run to show the equivalent of what the web ui would display?

Thanks, Tim

@mynamewastaken Thank you for opening this issue. The public read access command got implemented but does have missing docs. Finding a way with a knife command or with chef-server-ctl might be the way to go forward on this.
