Rajendra kadam 8a8fb685a2 Show managed account host action for observers (#48748)
**Related issue:** Resolves #48077

Removes the admin/maintainer role gate from the "Show managed account"
host action so observers see it too. The backend
(`GetHostManagedAccountPassword`) authorizes any user who can read the
host, so observers can already retrieve the managed local account
password via the API — the UI gate only hid the action.
`canShowManagedAccount` now matches the other "show secret" host actions
(disk encryption key, Recovery Lock password), which are not role-gated;
the premium / macOS / connected-to-Fleet-MDM / ADE-enrollment /
managed-account-status conditions are unchanged.

Before (global observer, ADE-enrolled macOS host with a verified managed
account):

# Checklist for submitter

- [x] Changes file added for user-visible changes in `changes/`,
`orbit/changes/` or `ee/fleetd-chrome/changes`.
See [Changes
files](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/docs/Contributing/guides/committing-changes.md#changes-files)
for more information.

## Testing

- [x] Added/updated automated tests — two cases in the existing "Show
managed account action" block asserting the action renders for a global
observer and a team observer (they fail against the old gate).

- [x] QA'd all new/changed functionality manually — ran a local server
with a seeded ADE-enrolled macOS host carrying a verified managed local
account row; logged in as a global observer: the action was absent
before the change and present after (screenshots above), and opening the
modal shows the managed account credentials, matching what the API
already returns to observers.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Bug Fixes**
* Expanded access to the **Show managed account** action for users with
observer-level host read permissions.
* The managed account option now appears correctly for global observers
and team observers when other eligibility checks are met.
* Improved consistency between what the interface shows and what backend
permissions allow.

Open-source platform for IT and security teams with thousands of computers. Designed for APIs, GitOps, webhooks, YAML, and humans.

A glass city in the clouds

What's it for?

Fleet gives you a single system to secure and maintain all your computing devices over the air. You can do MDM, patch stuff, deploy software, and verify anything, all from one place, across every OS your organization uses.

Fleet works directly with data and events from the native operating system, down to the bare metal. Strong diagnostics let you investigate errors on end-user devices and collect accurate audit evidence in minutes.

Get started

You can try Fleet out for yourself, or grab time with one of the maintainers to chat.

Is it any good?

Fleet is used in production by IT and security teams managing thousands of devices. Many deployments support tens of thousands of hosts, and a few large organizations manage 400,000 or more.

Supported platforms

  • Linux (all distros)
  • macOS
  • Windows
  • Chromebooks
  • iOS and Android (BYOD or corporate-owned)
  • Amazon Web Services (AWS)
  • Google Cloud (GCP)
  • Azure (Microsoft cloud)
  • Data centers
  • Containers (kube, etc)
  • Linux-based IoT devices

Infrastructure as code

Manage your fleet with GitOps, or use the GUI, REST API, webhook events, and the fleetctl command-line tool.

Linux support

First-class support for all major distros. Linux gets the same attention and visibility as macOS and Windows.

Visibility and compliance

Fleet can report on hundreds of attributes across your devices and ships with CIS benchmarks for macOS and Windows and comprehensive operating system, hardware, and software data. Check out the table reference documentation to see what's available.

Open by design

Fleet is open source and transparent about what it can and can't see. End users can verify exactly how the agent works and what data their company collects. Fleet collects only the data needed to manage and secure devices, not private activity like keystrokes, emails, or webcams.

Good neighbors

Ready-to-use, enterprise-friendly integrations exist for Snowflake, Splunk, GitHub Actions, Vanta, Elastic Jira, Zendesk, and more. Fleet also works with tools such as Munki, Chef, Puppet, Ansible, CrowdStrike, and SentinelOne.

Lighter than air

Fleet is lightweight and modular. You can use it for MDM without using it for security, and vice versa. You can turn off features you are not using.

Free as in free

The free version of Fleet will always be free. Fleet is independently backed and actively maintained with the help of many amazing contributors.

Longevity

The company behind Fleet is founded (and majority-owned) by true believers in open source. The company's business model is influenced by GitLab (NYSE: GTLB), with great investors, happy customers, and the capacity to become profitable at any time.

Fleet Device Management's company handbook is public and open source. You can read about the history of Fleet and our commitment to improving the product.

Chat

The Fleet community is full of kind and helpful people. Whether or not you are a paying customer, if you need help, just reach out.
