Large targets in spite of only targeting a few minions when making API calls as non-superuser

Products

• VMware Aria Suite

Issue/Introduction

Non-superuser accounts are seeing really large targets, or targets that initially do not appear to be what they specified when making API calls.

Environment

Aria Config 8.14+

Cause

Aria Config features role based access control. The implementation of this feature requires that users must be scoped to just the minions within the targets to which they have been granted access. Hence, users will see additional target scoping in addition to the target they specified when making API calls.

Resolution

This is normal and expected. If you have further questions, then please file a support ticket.
