How can we test the fix?
yum update nethserver-cockpit --enablerepo=nethserver-testing
follow the QA
Hesitated to do that on a production machine.
Virtualbox is your friend, install, clone and fire a new machine in few minutes. If you want to help the project you are welcome

Yes, this is VM. I just figured that I can SSH into it for text sharing instead of pictures. Here is another try

good, read the github QA (what you need to test) and check what you found is conform what the QA expects.
When you test something, be curious, open logs like messages or others and check you have no errors in logs
Do not be shy if you have something you miss, please ask
I almost did not understand them all.
- I do not know where and how to add shortcut
- I do not know where and how to add pin.
- I do not know where to set HideUninstall option.
- I did understand what it means "can remove if
$cockpit.socket{HideUninstall}=disabled" and “can remove software if$cockpit.socket{HideUninstall}=disabled(except nethserver-httpd)”
What is “except nethserver-httpd”? - I do not know how to delegate at least one application to a regular user.
Sorry, It is less than a month I am using NethServer and CentOS both.

No worries, we are here to help.
Check the kebab menu (3-dots menu) of each application.
Add shortcuts:
The administrator can add shortcuts to applications which are frequently used. Applications with a shortcut, will be linked to the left menu.
Pinned apps (also known as “add to homepage”):
Installed applications can be added to the launcher by clicking on the Add to home page button. All users will be able to access the public link of the application.
Check role delegation docs:
To create a new delegation, access the User & Groups page under the group section, then edit an existing group or create a new one. Select one or more items from the System views and Applications menus.
Even if a user has been delegated, it must be explicitly granted the shell access before being able to log into the Server Manager.

I am now doing tests by user root.
I see shortcut works.
However, I could not seem to find where is “homepage” (or pinned). App only visible as shortcut and no where else but under Applications.
When I call shortcut it is like in below screen shot.
Thanks & regards,
Ertan
You can reach the homepage via
https://neth.greenkey.com
without any login.
Once clicked on one of the application, you will be redirected to the app with the login (if necessary)
well it is the first process step of the learning curve
when you are root, you have a three dot button on the right of each application, it is hidden there
config setprop cockpit.socket HideUninstall enabled
then root & admin cannot remove application, you must test also after with
config setprop cockpit.socket HideUninstall disabled
root and admin can uninstall application (except web server fro admin)
nethserver-httpd cannot be removed by admin, only root can uninstall nethserver-httpd

Problem with a user member of “domain admins” group when $cockpit.socket{HideUninstall}=disabled
User can install application. It cannot see kebab menu.
Below is user root screen:
No error in /var/log/messages file as far as I can see. There is just TLS errors, they are probably related with my browser.

What command should I issue to install removed nethserver-httpd?
Hello,
I just realize another problem.
1- Removed application shortcut and homepage settings are not reset. Meaning, installing same application behaves as if there is an existing shortcut or pin. However, there is none.
Problem is fixed by clicking once “Remove shortcut” and “Remove from homepage”
2- Shortcut remains where it is after removing of an application completes.
One have to refresh or logout and login to fix that one.
I do not know if I should be opening a new thread. Just posting here as I find out about them while doing indicated tests.
Thanks & regards,
Ertan
