      I’d like to allow a particular user to be able to deploy an image, but not quick delete a host through the PXE menu.
      I could hide all the main menu options behind the PXE advanced menu secured with login, leaving deploy tasks to be created without login, but I would rather not allow individuals to deploy without having to pass credentials. I have an example PXE Advanced Menu file here that I’m thinking of trying to use, I’m wondering if there is any way I can use this (or any other mechanism) to control PXE Menu access on a user-by-user basis. If anyone has an idea, please let me know!

        Alright so I made some progress. I dont know PHP or C, and I’m just learning how iPXE is working.

        I was using the template above, which I retrieved from https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/15969/securing-fog-boot-options/17?sort=oldest_to_newest

        But, I don’t really know where that is from, so I wanted to find my own menu template. I was able to find that by putting http://<My FOG IP address>/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php? into my web browser.

        The idea here is I want to have two users: one user that can do full registration, quick reg, deploy, quick delete, etc.
        The other user can only deploy.

        How I’m thinking of doing this is limiting the main menu options to Deploy and Advanced menu, only. Deploy (in the main menu) will be locked behind the user2 credentials, while advanced menu will be locked behind the user1 credentials. The advanced menu will contain all of tasks that user1 should have access to: full reg, quick reg, deploy, quick del, etc.

        I have implemented the advanced menu by, essentially, copying and pasting my Main menu template in FOG Configuration>iPXE General Configuration>Advanced Menu settings>Advanced menu command

        Which seems to work, however when I PXE boot and select Full Host Registration and Inventory, it boots me back to the menu because boot fails.

        Now, I’m trying to figure out why boot is failing, to not much avail.

        Edit: the error I’m getting on boot is

        Could not boot: Error 0x7f048283 (http://ipxe.org/7f048283)
Could not boot: Error 0x7f048283 (http://ipxe.org/7f048283)
Could not boot: Error 0x7f048283 (http://ipxe.org/7f048283)
Chainloading failed, hit 's' for the iPXE shell; reboot in 10 seconds

          So, I was making it so much more complicated than I needed!
          I don’t need an advanced menu to hide options behind – I can just secure all the menu options with the one user and then create another deploy option that is secured with the other, unprivileged user.

          For example, here are the parameters for my default deploy delete task:

          login
params
param mac0 ${net0/mac}
param arch ${arch}
param username ${username}
param password ${password}
param delhost 1
isset ${net1/mac} && param mac1 ${net1/mac} || goto bootme
isset ${net2/mac} && param mac2 ${net2/mac} || goto bootme

          So instead of using ${username}, I just replace that with the actual username that I want to be able to be used, like this:

          login
params
param mac0 ${net0/mac}
param arch ${arch}
param username myadminuser
param password ${password}
param delhost 1
isset ${net1/mac} && param mac1 ${net1/mac} || goto bootme
isset ${net2/mac} && param mac2 ${net2/mac} || goto bootme

          Then, I go to FOG Configuration>iPXE New Menu Entry and name the menu item, enter the description, copy the parameters from whatever other menu item I want to mimic, and then change the ${username} to the username I want to restrict that menu option to.

            Which version of FOG do you use?

            The quick delete option is secured in the iPXE menu in FOG 1.5.10 (github commit).

            Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)
