Hi all,
As I had promised, here is the repository of Telles Nobrega (
https://github.com/tellesnobrega/keystone/tree/multitenancy) updated now
with inherited roles working with hierarchical projects.
How does it work?
Inherited roles operate in the following way:
- It should be added a role to be inherited to a domain using the api
"PUT
localhost:35357/v3/OS-INHERIT/domains/{domain_id}/users/{user_id}/roles/{role_id}/inherited_to_projects".
- It should be created a hierarchical project as described above for
Telles.
- List the assignments roles "GET localhost: 35357/v3/role_assignments"
and check that the role inherited is already associated with this new
project.
What was implemented?
The implementation consists of filtering roles which are associated with
the parent project to be inherited (this is done by checking the assigment
table) for them to be added to the child project. Also a filter has been
created to ensure that a role inherited from another domain does not
interfere in the inheritance of this project.
What remains to implement?
Role inheritance has been implemented to work with domains, so the role
will be inherited to all projects contained this domain, ie, a role that is
marked to be inherited, even if it is not associated with the parent
project, will be inherited to the child project. In my opinion, should be
created a "project" column in the "assignment" that would indicate where
to start inheritance projects, it would be possible to finish this feature.
(This is just a suggestion, I believe there are other ways to make it
work).
