Ok, this is enough do do an enrollment (HostEnrol is not a default 
role). What it lacks is the ability to add a new host entry.

You can add this ability by adding the 'Add Hosts' privilege to the 
'Host Enrollment' privilege.

On the command line like this:

$ ipa privilege-add-permission 'Host Enrollment' --permissions='Add Hosts'

Note that this is expected. We delegate as few permissions by default as 
possible. The expectation is that a higher-level administrator 
pre-creates the hosts that should be allowed to be enrolled and this 
delegated role can enroll them.
