prepare migration of permission to roles
this simplify drastically database (permission are now simply defined in code)
and will permit reuse of the same ReBAC engine to define owners of drives
mapping:
```
Role::Viewer => &[Permission::Read],
Role::Commenter => &[Permission::Read, Permission::Comment],
Role::Contributor => &[Permission::Read, Permission::Create],
Role::Editor => &[
Permission::Read,
Permission::Comment,
Permission::Create,
Permission::Update,
],
Role::Owner => &[
Permission::Read,
Permission::Comment,
Permission::Create,
Permission::Update,
Permission::Share,
Permission::Delete,
Permission::Manage,
],
```
The KNOWN BUG pin for `GET /api/s/{folder-token}/file/{file_id}` was
stale — the route now returns 200 + body for files inside the share's
subtree and 404 for anything outside it. Replaces the sidestep
comment with two positive assertions:
- in-share: 200 + Content-Disposition references the file name
- out-of-share (caller-owned file in a different folder): 404,
matching "no such file" so the response can't be used to
enumerate foreign file ids
Coverage now exercises the actual recipient-side download path that
NC desktop and web clients use; the file-share variant (item_type=file)
moves down to test 8b.
Adds a teardown DELETE for the outsider hello.txt so the next test in
the runner (permissions.hurl) can re-upload its own hello.txt into
admin's home folder without hitting the live-name unique index.
- permit reuse of blob where file is trashed (by-hash and chunked)
- add hurl test on /api/files/by-hash
- add anti enumeration of blob (404 is always blob_not_owned_by_caller)
ensure better API test coverage on important routes
1. tests/api/public_shares.hurl — create a share token, verify, list contents, fetch a file, fetch a folder zip, then revoke and re-verify with the token. Same pattern as grants.hurl. ~30 min, biggest security ROI.
2. tests/api/auth_session_lifecycle.hurl — login → refresh → use new token → logout → refresh-rejected → login-again. Covers the session-family invalidation contract.
3. tests/api/admin_user_ops.hurl — admin disables / re-enables / changes role / resets password / sets quota for a fixture user. Five POSTs.
4. tests/api/groups_effective_members.hurl — nested groups: A contains B contains user X; effective-members returns X. Two scenarios, but it's the ReBAC contract under the Drive refactor.
5. tests/api/search_basic.hurl — upload foo.txt, search "foo", get the result; cross-user: bob can't search alice's foo.
ensure files does not exeed OXICLOUD_MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE, prefer to deny from header rather consuming bandwidth
add OXICLOUD_DIRECT_PUT_MAX_BYTES for direct PUT (non chunked), admins can fine tune their prefered values
add OXICLOUD_CHUNK_MAX_BYTES which correspond to the max upload chunk allowed
(differs from OXICLOUD_MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE which is the max total size of a file)
hurl test validate the change
Streams the request body straight to the chunk file with peak heap of
~one HTTP frame, regardless of chunk size or the configured cap. The
`storage.chunk_max_bytes` config (env `OXICLOUD_CHUNK_MAX_BYTES`,
default 100 MB) bounds a single PUT — separate from `max_upload_size`
which governs whole-file uploads. Without this separation, a client
could submit a chunk up to the whole-file cap (10 GB default) and
monopolise server memory.
- add coalesced protection to avoid mail bombing if an invited goes many grant in a short period
- add resentd method in share menu item (work for both internal and external users)
- user can disable email notification via his properties
- add env variable from admin to disable notifications
magic-link as now 2 modes:
- invitation: long TTL (24), no challenge
- passwordless login: short TTL (10min), cookie challenge to ensure that
user goes back to same browser (no man in the middle capturing email)
Important: anti-enumeration is active only if SMTP is defined, welcome email can be used
otherwise it is a classic registration with ok or conflic if account alrady exists
Backend
- RegisterDto — username and password both become Option<String> with #[serde(default)] so JSON can omit them entirely.
- AuthApplicationService::register — username uniqueness check skipped when None (multiple NULLs OK under the UNIQUE index); password hashing skipped when None; User::new called with the actual Options instead of forcing Some(...).
- auth_handler::register — branches on dto.password.is_none(). With password → existing 201 + UserDto. Without → triggers MagicLinkInviteService::send_login_link(&email) best-effort, then returns 200 + {"message": "Check your email…"}. The
OIDC-mode-disables-password-registration gate now only fires for the password path (email-only signup is still allowed even in OIDC-only mode, because it doesn't store a password).
- magic_link_handler::redirect_target — new 3-way decision tree:
- Resource target (folder invitation) → /#/files/folder/{id} (existing)
- NULL resource + is_external = false → /#/files (the welcome path for new internal users — they have a home folder)
- NULL resource + is_external = true → /#/sharedwithme (the existing external-user landing)
Tests
- New tests/api/registration.hurl with 9 requests covering: classic (with-password) register → 201 + UserDto, email-only register → 200 + uniform message + welcome magic-link captured, redemption → 302 to /#/files + cookies set, profile read → username
absent + is_external: false, resend magic-link works (eligible while passwordless), cleanup deletes both new users.
- Wired into tests/api/run.sh right after auth_login.hurl.
Plan additions
- auth-simplification.md gained PR 22 at the bottom of the PR sequence — device-bound magic-link redemption via challenge cookie + asymmetric TTLs (login: 10 min, invitation: 24 h). Full design recap, schema migration, config knobs
(OXICLOUD_MAGIC_LINK_LOGIN_TTL_MINUTES / _INVITE_TTL_HOURS), and Hurl coverage outline are in the plan. Slots in before PR 21's docs so the architecture page describes the final state from the start.
Checks — cargo fmt, cargo clippy --all-features --all-targets -- -D warnings, cargo test --lib (297 passed), biome, stylelint, tsc, full Hurl suite (16 files) all green.
username: now optional, if defined 2..64 chars
password: now optional (no mode __NO_PASSWORD...__)
oidc: now optional
important: if need Nextcloud, username must be defined
- add possibility to grant an external user.
- route /api/users/{id} added (rate limited for security)
- security: start route limitation for external users
ex: they must not browse /api/users/{id} nor addressbook
- SMTP has a mock to enable end to end test and validate the whole path
(via OXICLOUD_SMTP_MOCK)
- add email normalisation ( including punicode)
- api to share to external user
this implements first version (manageable only by admin right now)
routes:
GET /api/groups
List subject groups (paginated). Admin-only.
POST /api/groups
Create a new ReBAC subject group. Admin-only. The name must match the RFC 5321 local-part shape and be globally unique (case-insensitive).
GET /api/groups/search
Search non-virtual groups by name substring. Authenticated only (no admin role required) — backs the share-dialog recipient autocomplete.
GET /api/groups/{id}
Fetch a single group's details. Admin-only.
DELETE /api/groups/{id}
Delete a group. Cascades to `subject_group_members` (FK) and to `access_grants` rows referencing this group as a subject. Admin-only.
PATCH /api/groups/{id}
Update a group's metadata. Admin-only. v1 only persists name renames.
GET /api/groups/{id}/effective-members
List every user transitively reached through this group (members of members of members, etc.). Used by admin / audit tooling. Admin-only.
GET /api/groups/{id}/members
List the *direct* members of a group (one level only). Admin-only.
POST /api/groups/{id}/members
Add a member to a group. Exactly one of `user_id` / `group_id` must be provided. Adding a group-member runs a write-time cycle check and a nesting-depth check (max 8). Admin-only.
DELETE /api/groups/{id}/members/group/{gid}
Remove a nested group-member from a group. Admin-only.
DELETE /api/groups/{id}/members/user/{uid}
Remove a user-member from a group. Admin-only.
