Authorization Policy Support
OpenStack components are supposed to check user privileges to perform any action. Generally these checks are role-based. See https://docs.openstack.org/keystone/latest/#approach-to-authorization-policy. Zaqar needs to support policies as well.
Problem description
Presently Zaqar is missing fine-grained permissions for actions. For example, it's hard to allow one user only can get message from a queue but not be able to post message to the queue, or something like that.
Proposed change
Add policy check for all Zaqar API endpoints. This could be done by following the same way as in other OpenStack components, by leveraging the oslo.policy module which will do all the underlying work.
The implementation should be fairly simple, with oslo.policy's
Enforcer class being instantiated with the policy file,
then the enforce method used to check each API call.
Proposed content of the policy file:
{
"context_is_admin": "role:admin",
"admin_or_owner": "is_admin:True or project_id:%(project_id)s",
"default": "rule:admin_or_owner",
"queues:get_all": "",
"queues:put": "",
"queues:get": "",
"queues:delete": "",
"messages:post": "",
"messages:get": "",
"messages:bulk_get": "",
"messages:bulk_delete": "",
"messages:claim": "",
"subscriptions:get_all": "",
"subscriptions:create": "",
"subscriptions:get": "",
"subscriptions:delete": "",
"subscriptions:update": "",
}Alternatives
None.
Data model impact
None.
REST API impact
None.
Other end user impact
None.
Deployer impact
An additional file, policy.json must be deployed. The
deployer should verify the settings in that file are correct for their
deployment, such that the correct users are allowed access.
Developer impact
If there is any new API endpoint added for Zaqar, then policy rules in the json files should be updated accordingly.
