| 3 | +#Overview |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +>_NOTE: you should probably read[`README.md`](README.md) beforehand, but it's not essential._ |
| 6 | +
|
| 7 | +##Basic structure |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +RBAC is made up of nouns (the objects which are protected by RBAC rules) and verbs (actions which can be performed on |
| 10 | +nouns).<br> |
| 11 | +For example, a**workspace** (noun) can be**created** (verb), provided the requester has appropriate permissions. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +##Roles |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +We have a number of roles (some of which have legacy connotations back to v1). |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +These can be found in`coderd/rbac/roles.go`. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +| Role| Description| Example resources (non-exhaustive)| |
| 20 | +|----------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------| |
| 21 | +|**owner**| Super-user, first user in Coder installation, has all* permissions| all*| |
| 22 | +|**member**| A regular user| workspaces, own details, provisioner daemons| |
| 23 | +|**auditor**| Viewer of audit log events, read-only access to a few resources| audit logs, templates, users, groups| |
| 24 | +|**templateAdmin**| Administrator of templates, read-only access to a few resources| templates, workspaces, users, groups| |
| 25 | +|**userAdmin**| Administrator of users| users, groups, role assignments| |
| 26 | +|**orgAdmin**| Like**owner**, but scoped to a single organization|_(org-level equivalent)_| |
| 27 | +|**orgMember**| Like**member**, but scoped to a single organization|_(org-level equivalent)_| |
| 28 | +|**orgAuditor**| Like**auditor**, but scoped to a single organization|_(org-level equivalent)_| |
| 29 | +|**orgUserAdmin**| Like**userAdmin**, but scoped to a single organization|_(org-level equivalent)_| |
| 30 | +|**orgTemplateAdmin**| Like**templateAdmin**, but scoped to a single organization|_(org-level equivalent)_| |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +_* except some, which are not important to this overview_ |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +##Actions |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +Roles are collections of permissions (we call them_actions_). |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +These can be found in`coderd/rbac/policy/policy.go`. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +| Action| Description| |
| 41 | +|-------------------------|-----------------------------------------| |
| 42 | +|**create**| Create a resource| |
| 43 | +|**read**| Read a resource| |
| 44 | +|**update**| Update a resource| |
| 45 | +|**delete**| Delete a resource| |
| 46 | +|**use**| Use a resource| |
| 47 | +|**read_personal**| Read owned resource| |
| 48 | +|**update_personal**| Update owned resource| |
| 49 | +|**ssh**| SSH into a workspace| |
| 50 | +|**application_connect**| Connect to workspace apps via a browser| |
| 51 | +|**view_insights**| View deployment insights| |
| 52 | +|**start**| Start a workspace| |
| 53 | +|**stop**| Stop a workspace| |
| 54 | +|**assign**| Assign user to role / org| |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +#Creating a new noun |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +In the following example, we're going to create a new RBAC noun for a new entity called a "frobulator"_(just some nonsense word for demonstration purposes)_. |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +_Refer tohttps://github.com/coder/coder/pull/14055 to see a full implementation._ |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +##Creating a new entity |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +If you're creating a new resource which has to be owned by users of differing roles, you need to create a new RBAC resource. |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +Let's say we're adding a new table called`frobulators` (we'll use this table later): |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +```sql |
| 69 | +CREATETABLEfrobulators |
| 70 | +( |
| 71 | + id uuidNOT NULL, |
| 72 | + user_id uuidNOT NULL, |
| 73 | + model_numberTEXTNOT NULL, |
| 74 | +PRIMARY KEY (id), |
| 75 | + UNIQUE (model_number), |
| 76 | +FOREIGN KEY (user_id)REFERENCES users (id)ON DELETE CASCADE |
| 77 | +); |
| 78 | +``` |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +Let's now add our frobulator noun to`coderd/rbac/policy/policy.go`: |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +```go |
| 83 | + ... |
| 84 | +"frobulator": { |
| 85 | +Actions:map[Action]ActionDefinition{ |
| 86 | +ActionCreate:actDef("create a frobulator"), |
| 87 | +ActionRead:actDef("read a frobulator"), |
| 88 | +ActionUpdate:actDef("update a frobulator"), |
| 89 | +ActionDelete:actDef("delete a frobulator"), |
| 90 | +}, |
| 91 | +}, |
| 92 | + ... |
| 93 | +``` |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +Entries in the`frobulators` table be created/read/updated/deleted, so we define those actions. |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +`policy.go` is used to generate code in`coderd/rbac/object_gen.go`, and we can execute this by running`make gen`. |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +Now we have this change in`coderd/rbac/object_gen.go`: |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +```go |
| 102 | + ... |
| 103 | +// ResourceFrobulator |
| 104 | +// Valid Actions |
| 105 | +// - "ActionCreate" :: |
| 106 | +// - "ActionDelete" :: |
| 107 | +// - "ActionRead" :: |
| 108 | +// - "ActionUpdate" :: |
| 109 | +ResourceFrobulator =Object{ |
| 110 | +Type:"frobulator", |
| 111 | + } |
| 112 | +... |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | +funcAllResources() []Objecter { |
| 115 | +... |
| 116 | +ResourceFrobulator, |
| 117 | +... |
| 118 | +} |
| 119 | +``` |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | +This creates a resource which represents this noun, and adds it to a list of all available resources. |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | +##Role Assignment |
| 124 | + |
| 125 | +In our case, we want**members** to be able to CRUD their own frobulators and we want**owners** to CRUD all members' frobulators. |
| 126 | +This is how most resources work, and the RBAC system is setup for this by default. |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | +However, let's say we want**auditors** to have read-only access to all members' frobulators; we need to add it to`coderd/rbac/roles.go`: |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +```go |
| 131 | +funcReloadBuiltinRoles(opts *RoleOptions) { |
| 132 | +... |
| 133 | +orgAuditor:func(organizationID uuid.UUID) Role { |
| 134 | +... |
| 135 | +return Role{ |
| 136 | + ... |
| 137 | +Org:map[string][]Permission{ |
| 138 | +organizationID.String():Permissions(map[string][]policy.Action{ |
| 139 | +... |
| 140 | +ResourceFrobulator.Type: {policy.ActionRead}, |
| 141 | +}) |
| 142 | + ... |
| 143 | +... |
| 144 | +} |
| 145 | +``` |
| 146 | +
|
| 147 | +## Testing |
| 148 | +
|
| 149 | +The RBAC system is configured to test all possible actions on all available resources. |
| 150 | +
|
| 151 | +Let's run the RBAC test suite: |
| 152 | +
|
| 153 | +`go test github.com/coder/coder/v2/coderd/rbac` |
| 154 | +
|
| 155 | +We'll see a failure like this: |
| 156 | +
|
| 157 | +```bash |

| 182 | +``` |
| 183 | +
|
| 184 | +The message`remaining permissions should be emptyfortype"frobulator"` indicates that we're missing tests which validate |
| 185 | +the desired actions on our new noun. |
| 186 | +
|
| 187 | +> Take a look at`coderd/rbac/roles_test.go` in the [reference PR](https://github.com/coder/coder/pull/14055) for a complete example |
| 188 | +
|
| 189 | +Let's add a test case: |
| 190 | +
|
| 191 | +```go |
| 192 | +funcTestRolePermissions(t *testing.T) { |
| 193 | + ... |
| 194 | + { |
| 195 | +// Users should be able to modify their own frobulators |
| 196 | +// Admins from the current organization should be able to modify any other user's frobulators |
| 197 | +// Owner should be able to modify any other user's frobulators |
| 198 | + Name:"FrobulatorsModify", |
| 199 | + Actions: []policy.Action{policy.ActionCreate, policy.ActionUpdate, policy.ActionDelete}, |
| 200 | + Resource: rbac.ResourceFrobulator.WithOwner(currentUser.String()).InOrg(orgID), |
| 201 | + AuthorizeMap:map[bool][]hasAuthSubjects{ |
| 202 | +true: {orgMemberMe, orgAdmin, owner}, |
| 203 | +false: {setOtherOrg, memberMe, templateAdmin, userAdmin, orgTemplateAdmin, orgUserAdmin, orgAuditor}, |
| 204 | + }, |
| 205 | + }, |
| 206 | + { |
| 207 | +// Users should be able to read their own frobulators |
| 208 | +// Admins from the current organization should be able to read any other user's frobulators |
| 209 | +// Auditors should be able to read any other user's frobulators |
| 210 | +// Owner should be able to read any other user's frobulators |
| 211 | + Name:"FrobulatorsReadOnly", |
| 212 | + Actions: []policy.Action{policy.ActionRead}, |
| 213 | + Resource: rbac.ResourceFrobulator.WithOwner(currentUser.String()).InOrg(orgID), |
| 214 | + AuthorizeMap:map[bool][]hasAuthSubjects{ |
| 215 | +true: {orgMemberMe, orgAdmin, owner, orgAuditor}, |
| 216 | +false: {setOtherOrg, memberMe, templateAdmin, userAdmin, orgTemplateAdmin, orgUserAdmin}, |
| 217 | + }, |
| 218 | + }, |
| 219 | +``` |
| 220 | +
|
| 221 | +Note how the`FrobulatorsModify` test case is just validating the`policy.ActionCreate, policy.ActionUpdate, policy.ActionDelete` actions, |
| 222 | +and only the **orgMember**, **orgAdmin**, and **owner** can access it. |
| 223 | +
|
| 224 | +Similarly, the`FrobulatorsReadOnly` test case is only validating`policy.ActionRead`, which is allowed on all of the above |
| 225 | +plus the **orgAuditor** role. |
| 226 | +
|
| 227 | +Now the tests pass, because we have covered all the possible scenarios: |
| 228 | +
|
| 229 | +```bash |
| 230 | +$go test github.com/coder/coder/v2/coderd/rbac -count=1 |
| 231 | +ok github.com/coder/coder/v2/coderd/rbac1.313s |
| 232 | +``` |
| 233 | +
|
| 234 | +When a case is not covered, you'll see an error like this (I moved the`orgAuditor` option from`true` to`false): |
| 235 | + |
| 236 | +```bash |
| 237 | +--- FAIL: TestRolePermissions (0.79s) |
| 238 | + --- FAIL: TestRolePermissions/FrobulatorsReadOnly (0.01s) |
| 239 | + roles_test.go:737: |
| 240 | + Error Trace:/tmp/coder/coderd/rbac/roles_test.go:737 |
| 241 | + Error: An error is expected but got nil. |
| 242 | + Test: TestRolePermissions/FrobulatorsReadOnly |
| 243 | + Messages: Should fail: FrobulatorsReadOnly as "org_auditor" doing "read" on "frobulator" |
| 244 | +FAIL |
| 245 | +FAILgithub.com/coder/coder/v2/coderd/rbac1.390s |
| 246 | +FAIL |
| 247 | +``` |
| 248 | + |
| 249 | +This shows you that the`org_auditor` role has`read` permissions on the frobulator, but no testcase covered it. |
| 250 | + |
| 251 | +**NOTE: don't just add cases which make the tests pass; consider all the way in which your resource must be used, and test |
| 252 | +all of those scenarios!** |
| 253 | +
|
| 254 | +# Database authorization |
| 255 | +
|
| 256 | +Now that we have the RBAC system fully configured, we need to make use of it. |
| 257 | +
|
| 258 | +Let's add a SQL query to`coderd/database/queries/frobulators.sql`: |
| 259 | + |
| 260 | +```sql |
| 261 | +-- name: GetUserFrobulators :many |
| 262 | +SELECT * |
| 263 | +FROM frobulators |
| 264 | +WHERE user_id = @user_id::uuid; |
| 265 | +``` |
| 266 | + |
| 267 | +Once we run`make gen`, we'll find some stubbed code in `coderd/database/dbauthz/dbauthz.go`. |
| 268 | +
|
| 269 | +```go |
| 270 | +... |
| 271 | +func (q *querier) GetUserFrobulators(ctx context.Context) ([]database.Frobulator, error) { |
| 272 | + panic("not implemented") |
| 273 | +} |
| 274 | +... |
| 275 | +``` |
| 276 | +
|
| 277 | +Let's modify this function: |
| 278 | + |
| 279 | +```go |
| 280 | +... |
| 281 | +func (q *querier) GetUserFrobulators(ctx context.Context, userID uuid.UUID) ([]database.Frobulator, error) { |
| 282 | +if err := q.authorizeContext(ctx, policy.ActionRead, rbac.ResourceFrobulator.WithOwner(userID.String())); err != nil { |
| 283 | +return nil, err |
| 284 | +} |
| 285 | +return q.db.GetUserFrobulators(ctx, userID) |
| 286 | +} |
| 287 | +... |
| 288 | +``` |
| 289 | + |
| 290 | +This states that the`policy.ActionRead` permission is required in this query on the`ResourceFrobulator` resources, |
| 291 | +and`WithOwner(userID.String())` specifies that this user must own the resource. |
| 292 | + |
| 293 | +All queries are executed through`dbauthz`, and now our little frobulators are protected! |
| 294 | + |
| 295 | +# API authorization |
| 296 | + |
| 297 | +API authorization is not strictly required because we have database authorization in place, but it's a good practice to |
| 298 | +reject requests as soon as possible when the requester is unprivileged. |
| 299 | +
|
| 300 | +> Take a look at `coderd/frobulators.go` in the [reference PR](https://github.com/coder/coder/pull/14055) for a complete example |
| 301 | +
|
| 302 | +```go |
| 303 | +... |
| 304 | +func (api *API) listUserFrobulators(rw http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) { |
| 305 | +ctx := r.Context() |
| 306 | +key := httpmw.APIKey(r) |
| 307 | +if !api.Authorize(r, policy.ActionRead, rbac.ResourceFrobulator.WithOwner(key.UserID.String())) { |
| 308 | +httpapi.Forbidden(rw) |
| 309 | +return |
| 310 | +} |
| 311 | +... |
| 312 | +} |
| 313 | +``` |
| 314 | +
|
| 315 | +`api.Authorize(r, policy.ActionRead, rbac.ResourceFrobulator.WithOwner(key.UserID.String()))` is specifying that we only |
| 316 | +want to permit a user to read their own frobulators. If the requester does not have this permission, we forbid the request. |
| 317 | +We're checking the user associated to the API key here because this could also be an **owner** or **orgAdmin**, and we want to |
| 318 | +permit those users. |
