There was a bug in the permission checking logic of the get_all_hosts API call. In case one tried to create a "read only" for exporting all hosts, this was not possible without the write permission.

The following permissions should be needed:

  • Use Multisite at all
  • Access to Web-API
  • Use WATO
  • Read access to all hosts and folders

In previous versions the permission "Write access to all hosts and folders" was needed in addition.
