left some comments on individual patches (those that I got around to
anyway, which is roughly up to patch #20), the permissions are still not
quite right, but since those changes are spread over a few patches, I'll
leave the comment for that here in one place (existing pull priv checks
should remain as they are, the following *only* applies to push based
syncing, except maybe the first bit):
UI/UX issues:
- I can create a sync job without having DatastoreAudit, but then I
don't see it afterwards (this affects pull and push)
usage of helpers and logic in helpers:
- I can see other people's push jobs (where local_user/owner != auth_id)
-- I can't modify them or create such jobs (unless I am highly privileged)
-- I can execute them (even if I am not highly privileged!)
the check_sync_job_remote_datastore_backup_access helper is wrong (it
doesn't account for auth_id vs local_user/owner at all). also, it is not
called when modifying a sync job or creating one, just when executing it
manually, which is probably also wrong. it also has a logic bug (missing
"not" when preparing the remote ACL path).
privileges:
- for pull-syncing, creating/removing namespaces needs PRIV_DATASTORE_MODIFY
- for push-syncing, creating namespaces needs PRIV_REMOTE_DATASTORE_MODIFY
- for push-syncing, removing namespaces needs PRIV_REMOTE_DATASTORE_PRUNE(!)
- manual push requires PRIV_REMOTE_DATASTORE_MODIFY (instead of
PRIV_REMOTE_DATASTORE_BACKUP)
related code style nit:
since job_user is required for pushing (in
`check_ns_remote_datastore_privs`), it might make sense to not allow
creation of PushParameters without it set, e.g. by changing the TryFrom
impl to convert from (SyncJobConfig, AuthId) instead of just the
config.. or by using a custom helper.
