How To Assign A Team Member As Team Admin In Ansible Tower?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Environment

  • Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform

Issue

  • Not able to assign Team Admin role from Tower UI.

Resolution

  • Starting with Ansible Tower 3.5.x you can add user to a team only as a member from UI.

  • You can refer to below documentation for more information here

    Snip from link :

    Adding a user to a team adds them as a member only, specifying a role for the user on different resources (other than team) can be done in the Permissions tab.

  • But you can still grant a team admin role to the user using API.
    Associate Roles with this User

Example: #Assign Team Admin role to a user.

  1. Navigate to your team API endpoint. (https://TOWER_URL/api/v2/teams/N/) Under object_roles, you'll see the available roles. Note that the role IDs are unique for every Tower objects.

    https://TOWER_URL/api/v2/teams/N/object_roles/ <<-- Here N is the ID of your team.

        "summary_fields": {

    }
]
}

  2. To assign Team Admin role, i.e the role ID 85 to a user, use below API curl command (Please replace <TOKEN> to your actual token):

    curl -k -H "Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN>" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"id": 85}' https://TOWER-URL/api/v2/users/N/roles/  <<-- Here N is the user ID
