* core, plugins: Split prosody:user role into prosody:{guest,registered,member}Matthew Wild2023-06-291-8/+24
| | | | | | | This gives us more granular control over different types of user account. Accounts registered by IBR get assigned prosody:registered by default, while accounts provisioned by an admin (e.g. via prosodyctl shell) will receive prosody:member by default.

* mod_authz_internal: Fix wrong role name field in user_can_assume_role()Kim Alvefur2023-03-091-1/+1
| | | | | Made it reject the primary role since it compares against a non-existent field, i.e. nil.
* authz: Add method for retrieving all rolesKim Alvefur2023-03-041-0/+4
| | | | | | | | Some of the OAuth stuff highlights a small need to retrieve a list of roles somehow. Handy if you ever need a role selector in adhoc or something. Unless there's some O(n) thing we were avoiding?

* mod_authz_internal: Allow specifying default role for public (remote) usersMatthew Wild2022-09-291-0/+3

* mod_authz_internal: Allow configuring role of local-server/parent-host usersMatthew Wild2022-09-291-1/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 'host_user_role' is the default role of users who have JIDs on the "parent" host (i.e. jabber.org users on conference.jabber.org). Defaults to 'prosody:user'. 'server_user_roles' is the default role of users who have JIDs on any active host on the current Prosody instance. Default to nil (no role). This finally allows better permissions splitting between host and server users, which has previously been done (e.g. in MUC) with options like 'restrict_room_creation' and 'muc_room_allow_persistent'. Using roles makes these permissions a lot more flexible, and easier for developers to integrate.

* mod_authz_internal, and more: New iteration of role APIMatthew Wild2022-08-171-36/+130
| | | | | | | | | | | These changes to the API (hopefully the last) introduce a cleaner separation between the user's primary (default) role, and their secondary (optional) roles. To keep the code sane and reduce complexity, a data migration is needed for people using stored roles in 0.12. This can be performed with prosodyctl mod_authz_internal migrate <host>
* mod_authz_internal: Use util.roles, some API changes and config supportMatthew Wild2022-07-191-63/+96
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit was too awkward to split (hg record didn't like it), so: - Switch to the new util.roles lib to provide a consistent representation of a role object. - Change API method from get_role_info() to get_role_by_name() (touches sessionmanager and usermanager) - Change get_roles() to get_user_roles(), take a username instead of a JID This is more consistent with all other usermanager API methods. - Support configuration of custom roles and permissions via the config file (to be documented).
* Switch to a new role-based authorization framework, removing is_admin()Matthew Wild2022-06-151-16/+129
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We began moving away from simple "is this user an admin?" permission checks before 0.12, with the introduction of mod_authz_internal and the ability to dynamically change the roles of individual users. The approach in 0.12 still had various limitations however, and apart from the introduction of roles other than "admin" and the ability to pull that info from storage, not much actually changed. This new framework shakes things up a lot, though aims to maintain the same functionality and behaviour on the surface for a default Prosody configuration. That is, if you don't take advantage of any of the new features, you shouldn't notice any change. The biggest change visible to developers is that usermanager.is_admin() (and the auth provider is_admin() method) have been removed. Gone. Completely. Permission checks should now be performed using a new module API method: module:may(action_name, context) This method accepts an action name, followed by either a JID (string) or (preferably) a table containing 'origin'/'session' and 'stanza' fields (e.g. the standard object passed to most events). It will return true if the action should be permitted, or false/nil otherwise. Modules should no longer perform permission checks based on the role name. E.g. a lot of code previously checked if the user's role was prosody:admin before permitting some action. Since many roles might now exist with similar permissions, and the permissions of prosody:admin may be redefined dynamically, it is no longer suitable to use this method for permission checks. Use module:may(). If you start an action name with ':' (recommended) then the current module's name will automatically be used as a prefix. To define a new permission, use the new module API: module:default_permission(role_name, action_name) module:default_permissions(role_name, { action_name[, action_name...] }) This grants the specified role permission to execute the named action(s) by default. This may be overridden via other mechanisms external to your module. The built-in roles that developers should use are: - prosody:user (normal user) - prosody:admin (host admin) - prosody:operator (global admin) The new prosody:operator role is intended for server-wide actions (such as shutting down Prosody). Finally, all usage of is_admin() in modules has been fixed by this commit. Some of these changes were trickier than others, but no change is expected to break existing deployments. EXCEPT: mod_auth_ldap no longer supports the ldap_admin_filter option. It's very possible nobody is using this, but if someone is then we can later update it to pull roles from LDAP somehow.

module. Fixes #517 (ish). Note: Removes the ability for mod_auth_* providers to determine user admin status. Such modules will need to have their is_admin methods ported to be a mod_authz_* provider.
