Defining an Access Policy¶

The Access Policy controls the authorization of a given request and is enforced at the viewset-level. Access policies are based on the AccessPolicy from drf-access-policy which uses policy statements described here.

Example Policy¶

Below is an example policy used by FileRemote, with an explanation of its effect below that:

[
    {
        "action": ["list"],
        "principal": "authenticated",
        "effect": "allow",
    },
    {
        "action": ["create"],
        "principal": "authenticated",
        "effect": "allow",
        "condition": "has_model_or_domain_perms:file.add_fileremote",
    },
    {
        "action": ["retrieve"],
        "principal": "authenticated",
        "effect": "allow",
        "condition": "has_model_or_domain_or_obj_perms:file.view_fileremote",
    },
    {
        "action": ["update", "partial_update", "set_label", "unset_label"],
        "principal": "authenticated",
        "effect": "allow",
        "condition": "has_model_or_domain_or_obj_perms:file.change_fileremote",
    },
    {
        "action": ["destroy"],
        "principal": "authenticated",
        "effect": "allow",
        "condition": "has_model_or_domain_or_obj_perms:file.delete_fileremote",
    },
]

The above policy allows the following four cases, and denies all others by default. Overall this creates a “user isolation policy” whereby users with the file.add_fileremote permission can create FileRemote objects, and users can only read/modify/delete FileRemote objects they created.

Here’s a written explanation of the policy statements:

list is allowed by any authenticated user. Although users are allowed to perform an operation what they can list will still be restricted to only the objects that user can view.
create is allowed by any authenticated user with the file.add_fileremote permission.
retrieve (the detail view of an object) is allowed by an authenticated user who has the file.view_fileremote permission. Although users are allowed to perform an operation what they can list will still be restricted to only the objects that user can view.
update or partial_update is allowed by an authenticated user who has the file.change_fileremote permission.
destroy is allowed by any authenticated user with the file.delete_fileremote permission.

These names correspond with the default DRF viewset action names.

Authorization Conditions¶

Each policy statement can contain drf-access-policy conditions which is useful for verifying a user has one or more permissions. Pulp ships many built-in checks. See the Permission Checking Machinery documentation for more information on available checks.

When multiple conditions are present, all of them must return True for the request to be authorized.

Note

If you are making your plugin compatible with Domains, then use the has_model_or_domain_perms and has_model_or_domain_or_obj_perms checks where appropriate.

Warning

The admin user created on installations prior to RBAC being enabled has is_superuser=True. Django assumes a superuser has any model-level permission even without it being assigned. Django’s permission checking machinery assumes superusers bypass authorization checks.

Custom ViewSet Actions¶

The action part of a policy statement can reference any custom action your viewset has. For example FileRepositoryViewSet has a sync custom action used by users to sync a given FileRepository. Below is an example of the default policy used to guard that action:

{
    "action": ["sync"],
    "principal": "authenticated",
    "effect": "allow",
    "condition": [
        "has_model_or_domain_or_obj_perms:file.modify_repo_content",
        "has_remote_param_model_or_domain_or_obj_perms:file.view_fileremote",
    ]
}

Storing an Access Policy in the DB¶

All access policies are stored in the database in the pulpcore.plugin.models.AccessPolicy model, which stores the policy statements described above. Here is a look at the AccessPolicy model:

class pulpcore.plugin.models.AccessPolicy(*args, **kwargs)¶

A model storing a viewset authorization policy and permission assignment of new objects created.

Fields:

creation_hooks (models.JSONField) – A list of dictionaries identifying callables on the pulpcore.plugin.access_policy.AccessPolicyFromDB which can add user or group roles for newly created objects. This is a nullable field due to not all endpoints creating objects.
statements (models.JSONField) – A list of drf-access-policy statements.
viewset_name (models.TextField) – The name of the viewset this instance controls authorization for.
customized (BooleanField) – False if the AccessPolicy has been user-modified. True otherwise. Defaults to False.
queryset_scoping (models.JSONField) – A dictionary identifying a callable to perform the queryset scoping. This field can be null if the user doesn’t want to perform scoping.

By storing these in the database they are readable to users with a GET to /pulp/api/v3/access_policies/. Additionally users can PUT/PATCH modify them at /pulp/api/v3/access_policies/:uuid/. Users cannot modify create or delete an Access Policy in the database because only plugin writers create them and their viewset code expects a specific AccessPolicy instance to exist.

Shipping a Default Access Policy¶

To ship a default access policy, define a dictionary named DEFAULT_ACCESS_POLICY as a class attribute on a subclass of NamedModelViewSet containing all of statements and creation_hooks. The AccessPolicy instance will then be created in the pulp_migrate signal handler. In the same way you might want to specify a LOCKED_ROLES dictionary that will define roles as lists of permissions to be used in the access policy.

Here’s an example of code to define a default policy:

class FileRemoteViewSet(RemoteViewSet):

<...>
    DEFAULT_ACCESS_POLICY = {
        "statements": [
            {
                "action": ["list"],
                "principal": "authenticated",
                "effect": "allow",
            },
            {
                "action": ["create"],
                "principal": "authenticated",
                "effect": "allow",
                "condition": "has_model_or_domain_perms:file.add_fileremote",
            },
            {
                "action": ["retrieve"],
                "principal": "authenticated",
                "effect": "allow",
                "condition": "has_model_or_domain_or_obj_perms:file.view_fileremote",
            },
            {
                "action": ["update", "partial_update", "set_label", "unset_label"],
                "principal": "authenticated",
                "effect": "allow",
                "condition": "has_model_or_domain_or_obj_perms:file.change_fileremote",
            },
            {
                "action": ["destroy"],
                "principal": "authenticated",
                "effect": "allow",
                "condition": "has_model_or_domain_or_obj_perms:file.delete_fileremote",
            },
        ],

        "creation_hooks": [
            {
                "function": "add_roles_for_object_creator",
                "parameters": {
                    "roles": "file.fileremote_owner",
                },
            },
        ],
    }
    LOCKED_ROLES = {
        "file.fileremote_owner": [
            "file.view_fileremote", "file.change_fileremote", "file.delete_fileremote"
        ],
        "file.fileremote_viewer": ["file.view_fileremote"],
    }
    <...>

For an explanation of the creation_hooks see the Shipping a Default New Object Policy documentation.

The attribute LOCKED_ROLES contains roles that are managed by the plugin author. Their name needs to be prefixed by the plugins app_label with a dot to prevent collisions. Roles defined there will be replicated and updated in the database after every migration. They are also marked locked=True to prevent being modified by users. The primary purpose of these roles is to allow plugin writers to refer to them in the default access policy.

Allow Granting Permissions by the Object Owners¶

To allow object owners to grant access to other users, first add a manage_roles permission to the model.

class FileRemote(Remote):
    <...>

    class Meta:
        permissions = [
            ("manage_roles_fileremote", "Can manage roles on file remotes"),
        ]

Now include the RolesMixin in the definition of the viewset and add statements for its verbs.

class FileRemoteViewSet(RemoteViewSet, RolesMixin):
    <...>

    DEFAULT_ACCESS_POLICY = {
        "statements": [
            <...>
            {
                "action": ["list_roles", "add_role", "remove_role"],
                "principal": "authenticated",
                "effect": "allow",
                "condition": ["has_model_or_domain_or_obj_perms:file.manage_roles_fileremote"],
            },
        ]
    }

    LOCKED_ROLES = {
        "file.fileremote_owner": [
            <...>
        <...>
    }

Handling Objects created prior to RBAC¶

Prior to RBAC being enabled, admin was the only user and they have is_superuser=True which generally causes them to pass any permission check even without explicit permissions being assigned.

Viewset Enforcement¶

Pulp configures the DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES in the settings file to use pulpcore.plugin.access_policy.AccessPolicyFromDB by default. This ensures that by defining a DEFAULT_ACCESS_POLICY on your Viewset, Pulp will automatically save it to the database at migration-time, and your Viewset will be protected without additional effort.

This strategy allows users to completely customize or disable the DRF Permission checks Pulp uses like any typical DRF project would.

Also like a typical DRF project, individual Viewsets or views can also be customized to use a different Permission check by declaring the permission_classes check. For example, here is the StatusView which disables permission checks entirely as follows:

class StatusView(APIView):
    ...
    permission_classes = tuple()
    ...

Permission Checking Machinery¶

drf-access-policy provides a feature to enable conditional checks to be globally available as their docs describe here. Pulp enables the reusable_conditions in its settings.py file, allowing a variety of condition checks to be globally available. Pulp enables this as follows:

DRF_ACCESS_POLICY = {"reusable_conditions": ["pulpcore.app.global_access_conditions"]}

The pulpcore.app.global_access_conditions provides the following checks that are available for both users and plugin writers to use in their policies:

pulpcore.app.global_access_conditions.has_domain_perms(request, view, action, permission)¶

Checks if the user has current domain-level permission.

If DOMAIN_ENABLED, use the incoming request’s domain for the permission check, else return False.

pulpcore.app.global_access_conditions.has_group_model_or_obj_perms(request, view, action, permission)¶

Checks whether a user has the requested object or model permission on the Group in the URL.

This check is meant to be used for relations nested beneath the group endpoint, e.g. the list of users to belong to that group. It will fail for other endpoints.

{
    ...
    "condition": "has_group_model_or_obj_perms:core.group_delete",
},

Parameters:

request (rest_framework.request.Request) – The request being made.
view (subclass rest_framework.viewsets.GenericViewSet) – The view being checked for authorization.
action (str) – The action being performed, e.g. “destroy”.
permission (str) – The name of the Group Permission to be checked. In the form app_label.codename, e.g. “core.group_change”.

Returns:

True if the user has the Permission on the Group specified in the URL named by the permission at the model or object level. False otherwise.

pulpcore.app.global_access_conditions.has_group_obj_perms(request, view, action, permission)¶

Checks whether a user has the requested object permission on the Group in the URL.

This check is meant to be used for relations nested beneath the group endpoint, e.g. the list of users to belong to that group. It will fail for other endpoints.

{
    ...
    "condition": "has_group_obj_perms:core.group_delete",
},

Parameters:

request (rest_framework.request.Request) – The request being made.
view (subclass rest_framework.viewsets.GenericViewSet) – The view being checked for authorization.
action (str) – The action being performed, e.g. “destroy”.
permission (str) – The name of the Group Permission to be checked. In the form app_label.codename, e.g. “core.group_change”.

Returns:

True if the user has the Permission on the Group specified in the URL named by the permission at object level. False otherwise.

pulpcore.app.global_access_conditions.has_model_or_domain_or_obj_perms(request, view, action, permission)¶

Checks if the current user has the permission across all levels of Pulp.

This checks all three levels of permissions in Pulp: model, domain, and object level. Returns True if the user has the permission on any of those levels, False otherwise.

pulpcore.app.global_access_conditions.has_model_or_domain_perms(request, view, action, permission)¶: Checks if the current user has either model-level (global) or domain-level permissions.

pulpcore.app.global_access_conditions.has_model_or_obj_perms(request, view, action, permission)¶

Checks if the current user has either model-level or object-level permissions.

The object in this case is the one the action is operating on, e.g. the URL /pulp/api/v3/tasks/15939b47-6b6d-4613-a441-939ca4ba6e63/ is operating on the Task object with pk=15939b47-6b6d-4613-a441-939ca4ba6e63.

This is usable as a conditional check in an AccessPolicy. Here is an example checking for “file.view_fileremote” permission at either the model-level or object-level.

{
    ...
    "condition": "has_model_or_obj_perms:file.view_fileremote",
}

action (str) – The action being performed, e.g. “destroy”.
permission (str) – The name of the Repository Permission to be checked. In the form app_label.codename, e.g. “file.filerepository_change”.

Returns:

True if the user has the Permission on the Repository specified in the URL named by the permission at object level. False otherwise.

pulpcore.app.global_access_conditions.has_required_repo_perms_on_upload(request, view, action, permission)¶

Checks if the current user has permission to upload content to the repository object.

Since content queryset scoping prevents users from seeing orphaned content by default this also checks to make sure that any user that isn’t an admin has also supplied the repository parameter when performing a content upload.

This is usable as a conditional check in an AccessPolicy for content uploads. Here is an example checking for the “file.modify_filerepository” permission.

{
    ...
    "condition": "has_required_repo_perms_on_upload:file.modify_filerepository",
}

Parameters:

request (rest_framework.request.Request) – The request being made.
view (subclass rest_framework.viewsets.GenericViewSet) – The view being checked for authorization.
action (str) – The action being performed, e.g. “destroy”.
permission (str) – The name of the Permission to be checked. In the form app_label.codename, e.g. “core.delete_task”.

Returns:

True if the user has supplied the repository parameter and has the Permission on it: named by the permission argument, or is an admin. False otherwise.

pulpcore.app.global_access_conditions.has_upload_param_model_or_domain_or_obj_perms(request, view, action, permission)¶: Checks if the current user has permission on the Upload param.

pulpcore.app.global_access_conditions.has_upload_param_model_or_obj_perms(request, view, action, permission)¶

Checks if the current user has permission on the Upload object.

The object in this case is the one specified by the upload parameter, for example to a one-shot content creation call.

This is usable as a conditional check in an AccessPolicy. Here is an example checking for the “core.change_upload” permissions.

{
    ...
    "condition": "has_upload_param_model_or_obj_perms:core.change_upload",
}

Since it is checking a Upload object the permission argument should be one of the following:

“core.view_upload” - Permission to view the Upload.
“core.change_upload” - Permission to change the Upload.
“core.delete_upload” - Permission to delete the Upload.

Parameters:

request (rest_framework.request.Request) – The request being made.
view (subclass rest_framework.viewsets.GenericViewSet) – The view being checked for authorization.
action (str) – The action being performed, e.g. “destroy”.
permission (str) – The name of the Permission to be checked. In the form app_label.codename, e.g. “core.delete_task”.

Returns:

True if the user has the Permission named by the permission argument on the: Upload parameter or if there is no upload. False otherwise.

Custom Permission Checks¶

Plugins can provide their own permission checks by defining them in a app.global_access_conditions module and adding an operation like

DRF_ACCESS_POLICY = {
    "dynaconf_merge_unique": True,
    "reusable_conditions": ["pulp_container.app.global_access_conditions"],
}

to their app.settings module.
