Dear All,

Process of database "fixing" is required because adding system permissions to the "Everyone" group is a one-way process that causes many problems and there is no way to rescue from the GUI, only options are to restore from backup or rebuild the permissions database.

The next issue, is that CPU Profiles are locked out to even the SuperUser - so creating a VM with the SuperUser account with reset permissions is denied:
User doesn't have permissions to assign the cpu profile Default with id 58ca604e-01a7-003f-01de-000000000250 to VMs.

I consider that to be a bug, personally, as a SuperUser should have access to everything by definition.

To solve this in the mean time, i need to know the object_type_id of a cpu profile to manually reassign permissions to it (you can't control CPU profile permissions in the GUI either, only view).

Regards,
Callum

I am happy to help where I can. I would also not recommend tinkering around in the database, but I am happy to hear you have it all running. :)

Everything you should every be doing in the engine is available via the API/UI. Just some general advice.

Dear All & Donny,

Thank you for the clarifications, very useful indeed.

A note for future users who go down this path and dont want to restore or reinstall:

Cleaning out the `permissions` table in the database and restoring the defaults will solve the issue, but you need to restore the SuperUser permission on the admin@internal account:

 

Learning from here:

Clean out your `roles_groups` and `permissions`
DELETE FROM `permissions`;
DELETE FROM `roles_groups`;

Restore the defaults:

Re-assign the SuperUser role to the admin@internal user:
Or just go straight into your localhost psql on your engine, replacing information as appropriate:
Get your external_id from the users table and use it in the function:
SELECT external_id FROM `users` WHERE `name` = 'admin' AND `domain` = 'internal-authz';
select attach_user_to_role('admin','internal-authz','*','#external_id#','SuperUser');

Regards,
Callum


 

I think the root cause here is that you are trying to login to the webadmin and not the vm portal. User are authorized to login to the web admin
only if they have a role of type 'admin'. And UserRole is a 'user' type. So the solution is not the give SuperUser for all those users, this is just a workaround.

If you want to know for sure, go to Administration - Configure - Roles. 

So ask yourself why users need access to the webadmin at all. If they need admin permission assign them an appropriate role on the DC or the cluster.
If not, they use the VM portal.

Having said all that, if nothing helps and the db needs 'fixing' (I doubt it though) then this is a bug.

How do i get around this "It's not allowed to remove system permissions assigned to built-in Everyone group" - to remove permissions erroneously added.

You can create a profile that has the proper permissions to allow what you are looking for, and then assign that profile to the groups you wish. 
I wrote a post on this quite a while back on how to setup oVirt to appear to be multi-tenant.  

Happy to see you don't have an ldap issue :)

A new issue, when in the VM portal as the LDAP user, i get HTTP basic auth login prompts, and a "Authorization expired" error, then a page reload. Nothing in the logs seem to indicate an issue.

Try giving your user system permissions as a superuser and see if it goes away. 

I wouldn't leave it like that, but it will help isolate your issue. I don't think you have an ldap issue... the log entry is telling you that user has no permissions

No, though the user shows the permissions inherited from the Everyone group:

Dear Ondra, all,

Managed to solve this once i got my head around the properties file. Conceptually the problem is that users are typically not a member of their primary group in a POSIX scenario, and their primary group is set by the gidNumber of the user's record, with additional group memberships specified by memberUid entries against a posixGroup entry.

search.rfc2307-resolve-groups-memberUid.search-request.filter = &(objectClass=posixGroup)(|(memberUid=${seq:_rfc2307_uid_encoded})(gidNumber=${seq:_rfc2307_gid_encoded}))

search.rfc2307-resolve-principal-uid.search-request.attributes = uid, gidNumber

sequence.bmrc-resolve-groups.010.description = set dn
sequence.bmrc-resolve-groups.010.type = var-set
sequence.bmrc-resolve-groups.010.var-set.variable = _rfc2307_dn
sequence.bmrc-resolve-groups.010.var-set.value = ${seq:dn}

Dear Ondra,

I went for openldap-rfc2307 as that best describes our ldap setup. The issue seems to be that the gidNumber is set, but users are not a member of their primary group within the LDAP. So, user's gidNumber represents primary group and posixGroup membership (memberUid) represents their secondary groups. What's the best way to approach this (fix the filters on oVirt end or change the LDAP? This is a question of what is most compliant with standards really).

Regards,
Callum

on a side note: is it possible to assign permissions to all members of an LDAP tree where they dont have a common group membership?
