Chapter 5. Role-based Access Control (RBAC) REST API
Red Hat Developer Hub provides RBAC REST API that you can use to manage the permissions and roles in the Developer Hub. This API supports you to facilitate and automate the maintenance of Developer Hub permission policies and roles.
Using the RBAC REST API, you can perform the following actions:
- Retrieve information about all permission policies or specific permission policies, or roles
- Create, update, or delete a permission policy or a role
- Retrieve permission policy information about static plugins
The RBAC REST API requires the following components:
- Authorization
The RBAC REST API requires Bearer token authorization for the permitted user role. For development purposes, you can access a web console in a browser. When you refresh a token request in the list of network requests, you find the token in the response JSON.
Authorization: Bearer $token
For example, on the Developer Hub Homepage, navigate to the Network tab and search for the
query?term=
network call. Alternatively, you can go to the Catalog page and select any Catalog API network call to acquire the Bearer token.- HTTP methods
The RBAC REST API supports the following HTTP methods for API requests:
-
GET
: Retrieves specified information from a specified resource endpoint -
POST
: Creates or updates a resource -
PUT
: Updates a resource -
DELETE
: Deletes a resource
-
- Base URL
-
The base URL for RBAC REST API requests is
http://SERVER:PORT/api/permission/policies
, such ashttp://localhost:7007/api/permission/policies
. - Endpoints
RBAC REST API endpoints, such as
/api/permission/policies/[kind]/[namespace]/[name]
for specifiedkind
,namespace
, andname
, are the URI that you append to the base URL to access the corresponding resource.Example request URL for
/api/permission/policies/[kind]/[namespace]/[name]
endpoint is:http://localhost:7007/api/permission/policies/user/default/johndoe
NoteIf at least one permission is assigned to
user:default/johndoe
, then the example request URL mentioned previously returns a result if sent in aGET
response with a valid authorization token. However, if permission is only assigned to roles, then the example request URL does not return an output.- Request data
HTTP
POST
requests in the RBAC REST API may require a JSON request body with data to accompany the request.Example
POST
request URL and JSON request body data forhttp://localhost:7007/api/permission/policies
:{ "entityReference": "role:default/test", "permission": "catalog-entity", "policy": "delete", "effect": "allow" }
- HTTP status codes
The RBAC REST API supports the following HTTP status codes to return as responses:
-
200
OK: The request was successful. -
201
Created: The request resulted in a new resource being successfully created. -
204
No Content: The request was successful, but there is no additional content to send in the response payload. -
400
Bad Request: input error with the request -
401
Unauthorized: lacks valid authentication for the requested resource -
403
Forbidden: refusal to authorize request -
404
Not Found: could not find requested resource -
409
Conflict: request conflict with the current state and the target resource
-
- Source
Each permission policy and role created using the RBAC plugin is associated with a source to maintain data consistency within the plugin. You can manipulate permission policies and roles based on the following designated source information:
- CSV file
- Configuration file
- REST API
- Legacy
Managing roles and permission policies originating from CSV files and REST API involves straightforward modification based on their initial source information.
The Configuration file pertains to the default
role:default/rbac_admin
role provided by the RBAC plugin. The default role has limited permissions to create, read, update, and delete permission policies or roles, and to read catalog entities.NoteIn case the default permissions are insufficient for your administrative requirements, you can create a custom admin role with required permission policies.
The legacy source applies to policies and roles defined before RBAC backend plugin version
2.1.3
, and is the least restrictive among the source location options. You must update the permissions and roles in legacy source to use either REST API or the CSV file sources.You can use the
GET
requests to query roles and policies and determine the source information, if required.
5.1. Sending requests with the RBAC REST API using a REST client or curl utility
The RBAC REST API enables you to interact with the permission policies and roles in Developer Hub without using the user interface. You can send RBAC REST API requests using any REST client or curl utility.
Prerequisites
- Red Hat Developer Hub is installed and running.
For more information about installing Red Hat Developer Hub, see Installing Red Hat Developer Hub on OpenShift Container Platform with the Helm chart.
- You have access to the Developer Hub.
Procedure
Identify a relevant API endpoint to which you want to send a request, such as
POST /api/permission/policies
. Adjust any request details according to your use case.For REST client:
- Authorization: Enter the generated token from the web console.
-
HTTP method: Set to
POST
. -
URL: Enter the RBAC REST API base URL and endpoint such as
http://localhost:7007/api/permission/policies
.
For curl utility:
-
-X
: Set toPOST
-H
: Set the following header:Content-type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer $token
$token
is the requested token from the web console in a browser.-
URL: Enter the following RBAC REST API base URL endpoint, such as
http://localhost:7007/api/permission/policies
-
-d
: Add a request JSON body
Example requests:
curl -X POST "http://localhost:7007/api/permission/roles" -d '{"memberReferences": ["group:default/example"], "name": "role:default/test", "metadata": { "description": "This is a test role" } }' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer $token" -v
curl -X POST "http://localhost:7007/api/permission/policies" -d '[{"entityReference":"role:default/test", "permission": "catalog-entity", "policy": "read", "effect":"allow"}]' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer $token" -v
curl -X POST "http://localhost:7007/api/permission/roles/conditions" -d '{"result": "CONDITIONAL", "roleEntityRef": "role:default/test", "pluginId": "catalog", "resourceType": "catalog-entity", "permissionMapping": ["read"], "conditions": {"rule": "IS_ENTITY_OWNER", "resourceType": "catalog-entity", "params": {"claims": ["group:default/janus-authors"]}}}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer $token" -v
- Execute the request and review the response.
