03/02/2023, 9:48 AMI'm currently trying to configure lakefs to restrict users access to a single repo. If I take the sample from here (https://docs.lakefs.io/reference/authorization.html#additional-policies) and remove everything else I end up with the following error message
insufficient permissions: uM: insufficient permissions at ot (<http://localhost:8090/assets/index-7bf1aa94.js:71:93127>) at async T$.list (<http://localhost:8090/assets/index-7bf1aa94.js:71:100206>) at async <http://localhost:8090/assets/index-7bf1aa94.js:71:111901>i

03/02/2023, 10:10 AMHey Jonas, I’m looking into it. Would you mind sharing your lakeFS version? Also, is it your first time you ran lakeFS? The reason I’m asking is that we need to take into account possible migrations too. Any other information on your use-case would help a lot too 🙂

03/02/2023, 10:21 AMI would also like to share the RBAC support for the OSS version is deprecated and replaced with ACLs. For the reasoning and ways to configure lakeFS authorization, please read our announcement.

03/02/2023, 10:22 AMWe just started using to so yes it is pretty much the first time we are using it

03/02/2023, 10:26 AMI fear you need to explain this in more basic terms, I'm a mathematician, I have very limited knowledge about authorization methods 😄 That's why I like the interface you provide even though I struggle with it :D

03/02/2023, 11:05 AMThe lakeFS RBAC model is defined here. In short, it has 5 basic components: Users, Actions, Resources, Policies, Groups which you may combine to have a fine-grained access-control. For example, User that belongs to the Group

03/02/2023, 11:09 AMOn the other hand, ACLs are a much more simplified solution. The Groups are predefined and cannot be altered. The attached Actions & Policies cannot be modified too. It all boils down to 4 basic Groups with predefined Policies and you can assign Users to any of these groups.

Jonas
03/02/2023, 11:20 AMAnd thank you so much for explaining it like this!

03/02/2023, 11:30 AMYes, we needed to decouple the security aspects like RBAC from lakeFS OSS. It allows us to focus on building lakeFS to be the best data version control tool. We added RBAC to our paid offerings as we can fully back all security considerations there, hence the SOC2 compliance we’re offering just for the paid solutions.

03/02/2023, 12:15 PMYou might have missed our founders' security update about this. It will be going in soon. Here's the design for what is actually happening with ACLs.
In addition to what @Itai Admi said, you will also be able to create groups with one of the bottom 3 permission levels (read / write / super) that are limited to a single repo. Groups at the highest permission level (admin) can always do everything.

08/21/2023, 8:31 AMWe ended up deciding to remove this: everyone with whom our product people talked thought that it was not useful and too complicated to understand.
