Hi all,
Disk Permissions feature description Wiki page: http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Features/DiskPermissions
Please share your comments.
I think you are lacking a paragraph explaining some of the issues around this: - are disks part of storage domains or VMs wrt permissions inheritance? - what about direct luns (are not part of storage domains)? - what about shared disks (multiple inheritance if from VM)? - what if tomorrow we allow disks to span multiple storage domains? - quota's are already a concept of permissions to create disks at storage domain level, does user need both (cumbersome) - when do we must have this (to filter shared, floating or direct lun disks we would show to power users when not attached to VMs) - or these won't be available for now via the power user portal, only via admin.
1. "Create disk - requires permissions on the Storage Domain, (can't assume Quota is sufficient to permit user creating the disk on the Storage Domain, as Quota might be disabled)"
I'd also specify create disk for regular disks is at storage domain level?, while direct lun disks require system level permission of add disk.
so, if quota is disabled, how important is it to prevent creation of disks (other than direct lun ones, which would require a permission similar to storage domain creation)?
if this is added, it has to be implicitly added / not needed if user has quota (i.e., having a quota should be similar to having a permission as far as the check goes).
We should look into it, how complicate is it to validate if user has either quota or permission, and allow creating a disk on a SD if either exists.
2. "Attach disk to VM - requires permissions on the Disk and on the VM (applies for shared disk as well). "
which permission at disk is required? (disk access?)
The user should have attach_disk permission on the disk and on the VM (same action on two objects).
3. "Detach disk from VM - requires permissions on the VM only. (Unlike
attach disk that requires permissions on the VM and on the Disk). "
will detaching a disk copy the permission it so far inherited from the VM?
No, inheritance is never translated into explicit permission on the objects in the hierarchy .
4. UI changes an edit permissions button from VM disks subtab seems appropriate (will open a dialog i guess)
I think we need permissions subtab in the floating disk main tab. I'll ask Einav to add the UI part as well to the wiki.
