Thomas Kosiewski 47c92ad1d2 feat: add public RBAC scope catalog for user-requestable permissions (#19913)
# Add a curated catalog of public RBAC scopes

This PR introduces a curated catalog of public RBAC scopes that are exposed to users. It adds:

- A `publicLowLevel` map in `scopes_catalog.go` that defines which resource:action pairs are user-requestable
- `IsPublicLowLevel()` function to check if a scope is in the public catalog
- `PublicLowLevelScopeNames()` function that returns a sorted list of public scopes
- Tests to verify the catalog entries are valid and properly sorted
- Updated documentation in the check-scopes README to clarify that public scopes should be added to this catalog

This change helps distinguish between internal-only scopes and those that should be exposed to users in the API.

1.1 KiB

check-scopes

Validates that the DB enum api_key_scope contains every <resource>:<action> derived from coderd/rbac/policy/RBACPermissions.

  • Exits 0 when all scopes are present in coderd/database/dump.sql.
  • Exits 1 and prints missing values with suggested ALTER TYPE statements otherwise.

Usage

Ensure the schema dump is up-to-date, then run the check:

make -B gen/db   # forces DB dump regeneration
make lint/check-scopes

Or directly:

go run ./tools/check-scopes

Optional flags:

  • -dump path — override path to dump.sql (default coderd/database/dump.sql).

Remediation

When the tool reports missing values:

  1. Create a DB migration extending the enum, e.g.:

    ALTER TYPE api_key_scope ADD VALUE IF NOT EXISTS 'template:view_insights';
    
  2. Regenerate and re-run:

    make -B gen/db && make lint/check-scopes
    
  3. Decide whether each new scope is public (exposed in the catalog) or internal-only.

    • If public, add it to the curated map in coderd/rbac/scopes_catalog.go (externalLowLevel) so it appears in the public catalog and can be requested by users.
