no way to see what user has a node allocated

[Scott Moser]

$ maas-cli admin node read node-56745bf8-c7a3-11e2-a421-d4ae527ac129
{
    "status": 6,
    "macaddress_set": [
        {
            "resource_uri": "/MAAS/api/1.0/nodes/node-56745bf8-c7a3-11e2-a421-d4ae527ac129/macs/00:25:90:4c:f0:34/",
            "mac_address": "00:20:20:20:20:20"
        },
        {
            "resource_uri": "/MAAS/api/1.0/nodes/node-56745bf8-c7a3-11e2-a421-d4ae527ac129/macs/00:25:90:4c:f0:35/",
            "mac_address": "00:30:30:30:30:30:
        }
    ],
    "netboot": false,
    "hostname": "maas-1-08.mydomain.example.com",
    "power_type": "ipmi",
    "system_id": "node-56745bf8-c7a3-11e2-a421-d4ae527ac129",
    "architecture": "amd64/generic",
    "tag_names": [
        "use-fastpath-installer"
    ],
    "resource_uri": "/MAAS/api/1.0/nodes/node-56745bf8-c7a3-11e2-a421-d4ae527ac129/"
}

The above shows me that this node is in status '6' (which is "allocated"), but gives me no way to know *who* owns it. Just that it is someone. (I can tell its not me by doing list-allocated, but its not obvious here).

That would seem fine, and possibly a security decision, but I'm an admin. In the web-ui I can see 'allocated to bob'.

Also, as I'm admin, I'd really like it to show me IPMI data too. Its hardly useful to have to go to the web UI and click 3 times to see that.

We can return owner no problem, and the attached branch fixes that. However, conditionally returning sensitive details is made difficult by Piston which assumes you always return the same set of fields. We can work around it but it's quite a nasty hack so I'm leaving it out until there's a concrete requirement to get power details on the api response.

I've opened bug 1233158 to track the lack of ipmi creds.
