CVE-2016-7078: Foreman user with no organizations or locations can see
all resources

A user account that is associated to no organizations or locations is
able to view resources from all organizations/locations in the web UI or
API, when either the organization or location feature is enabled. The
user remains subject to permissions and filters on their assigned roles.

Mitigation: ensure all users are assigned to at least one organization
or location, or disable the feature if unused.

This issue was reported by Daniel Lobato Garcia.
