Dynamic Policies
Improving Access Control on OpenStack
Weekly Meeting
TBD
Background
OpenStack uses a Role-Based Access Control mechanism to manage authorization, which defines if a user is able to perform actions on resources based on the roles he has assigned on them. Resources include VMs, volumes, networks, etc and are organized into projects, which are owned by domains. Users have roles assigned on domains or projects.
Users get domain or project scoped tokens, which contains the roles the user has assigned on them, and pass this token along to services in requests to perform actions on resources. The services check the roles and the scope from the token against the rules defined for the requested action on the policy.json file to determine if the user has enough privileges.
Evolution
- How to evolve the policies management mechanism, which currently uses an out-of-band mechanism to update the policy.json files ?
- How to improve delegation mechanism, allowing users to only delegate a subset of their roles, which may be customized per domain ?
- How to provide better default policies, fixing the bug in which an admin anywhere is admin everywhere ?
