## About the changes Implements custom root roles, encompassing a lot of different areas of the project, and slightly refactoring the current roles logic. It includes quite a clean up. This feature itself is behind a flag: `customRootRoles` This feature covers root roles in: - Users; - Service Accounts; - Groups; Apologies in advance. I may have gotten a bit carried away 🙈 ### Roles We now have a new admin tab called "Roles" where we can see all root roles and manage custom ones. We are not allowed to edit or remove *predefined* roles.  This meant slightly pushing away the existing roles to `project-roles` instead. One idea we want to explore in the future is to unify both types of roles in the UI instead of having 2 separate tabs. This includes modernizing project roles to fit more into our current design and decisions. Hovering the permissions cell expands detailed information about the role:  ### Create and edit role Here's how the role form looks like (create / edit):  Here I categorized permissions so it's easier to visualize and manage from a UX perspective. I'm using the same endpoint as before. I tried to unify the logic and get rid of the `projectRole` specific hooks. What distinguishes custom root roles from custom project roles is the extra `root-custom` type we see on the payload. By default we assume `custom` (custom project role) instead, which should help in terms of backwards compatibility. ### Delete role When we delete a custom role we try to help the end user make an informed decision by listing all the entities which currently use this custom root role:  ~~As mentioned in the screenshot, when deleting a custom role, we demote all entities associated with it to the predefined `Viewer` role.~~ **EDIT**: Apparently we currently block this from the API (access-service deleteRole) with a message:  What should the correct behavior be? ### Role selector I added a new easy-to-use role selector component that is present in: - Users  - Service Accounts  - Groups  ### Role description I also added a new role description component that you can see below the dropdown in the selector component, but it's also used to better describe each role in the respective tables:  I'm not listing all the permissions of predefined roles. Those simply show the description in the tooltip:  ### Role badge Groups is a bit different, since it uses a list of cards, so I added yet another component - Role badge:  I'm using this same component on the profile tab:  ## Discussion points - Are we being defensive enough with the use of the flag? Should we cover more? - Are we breaking backwards compatibility in any way? - What should we do when removing a role? Block or demote? - Maybe some existing permission-related issues will surface with this change: Are we being specific enough with our permissions? A lot of places are simply checking for `ADMIN`; - We may want to get rid of the API roles coupling we have with the users and SAs and instead use the new hooks (e.g. `useRoles`) explicitly; - We should update the docs; - Maybe we could allow the user to add a custom role directly from the role selector component; --------- Co-authored-by: Gastón Fournier <gaston@getunleash.io> |
