Description

The catalog endpoint (/v2/_catalog) is accessible only by administrators. We would like to enable users/groups to do that as well.

Possible solution:

The token server will permit everyone to access the catalog endpoint. Further checks will be necessary in CatalogView: https://github.com/pulp/pulp_container/blob/0cbe68b4a051a42203f46eb33aafabe80cbb561d/pulp_container/app/registry_api.py#L348-L358. Here, we will filter out repositories that are not viewable by an authenticated user.

  1. The content of this endpoint should not be viewable by Anonymous user
  2. Authed users will see only the repos they have perms for
  3. Admin user will see all registry repos

I was not able to finish the work on time; however, I came up with a few solutions that have pros and cons.

I attached some patch files (git diff) to this issue and they have the following significance:

  1. dynamicload.patch - The permissions are loaded from RegistryAccessPolicy that is also used by the token server. This solution may impact the overall performance of the endpoint because it iterates through all repositories within the registry.
  2. hardcoded.patch - Useful only when we will not allow administrators to modify the access policy. It follows the code snippet from https://docs.pulpproject.org/pulpcore/plugins/plugin-writer/concepts/rbac/queryset_scoping.html#manually-implementing-queryset-scoping.
  3. guardian-hardcoded.patch - The simplest way of achieving the same result as in hardcoded.patch. It benefits from https://django-guardian.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api/guardian.mixins.html?highlight=queryset#guardian.mixins.PermissionListMixin.

In every scenario I used the permission pull/pull_containerdistribution. I am not sure whether this should be rather view_containerdistribution.

At the moment, all authenticated users are allowed to access the catalog endpoint (the first bullet point from the previous comment is therefore fulfilled).
