Bug #21854
closed
Any org/loc context acts as None org/loc
Description
Description of problem:
Create a Partition table (PT) and do not assign it to any Org/Loc.
The PT will be visible only under 'Any Org/Loc' context.
Now assign the PT to an Operating System (OS) and try to create a new host with a Default loc/org and the above OS and PT.
Actual result:
You can choose the OS (as that one is not context-limited) but you can't see the PT as it doesn't have the 'Default Org/Loc' specified.
Expected result:
If Any org/loc really acted as Any, it wouldn't matter which context we operate under.
But since it acts as None, we can only use it if we create the host under 'Any loc/org' - which is even not possible.
Additional info:
This applies to all entities.

This has been talked about many times.
Any loc/org means you're able to see anything assigned to any of your organizations/locations.
It does not mean stuff without an organization/location belongs to any. In fact, anything that can be scoped under organization/location but is not scoped, as you mention in the report (Partition Table) will not be visible to anyone but admins.
This is by design, users can only see what is in their scopes. Admins can see unscoped stuff.
I'm closing this and the upstream bug for the time being, I can refer you to multiple discussions about the behavior if needed. Feel free to reopen if I missed something.
