2022-11-18Add a SET option to the GRANT command.Robert Haas
Similar to how the INHERIT option controls whether or not the permissions of the granted role are automatically available to the grantee, the new SET permission controls whether or not the grantee may use the SET ROLE command to assume the privileges of the granted role. In addition, the new SET permission controls whether or not it is possible to transfer ownership of objects to the target role or to create new objects owned by the target role using commands such as CREATE DATABASE .. OWNER. We could alternatively have made this controlled by the INHERIT option, or allow it when either option is given. An advantage of this approach is that if you are granted a predefined role with INHERIT TRUE, SET FALSE, you can't go and create objects owned by that role. The underlying theory here is that the ability to create objects as a target role is not a privilege per se, and thus does not depend on whether you inherit the target role's privileges. However, it's surely something you could do anyway if you could SET ROLE to the target role, and thus making it contingent on whether you have that ability is reasonable.

2022-11-13Refactor aclcheck functionsPeter Eisentraut
Instead of dozens of mostly-duplicate pg_foo_aclcheck() functions, write one common function object_aclcheck() that can handle almost all of them. We already have all the information we need, such as which system catalog corresponds to which catalog table and which column is the ACL column. There are a few pg_foo_aclcheck() that don't work via the generic function and have special APIs, so those stay as is.

2022-08-25Allow grant-level control of role inheritance behavior.Robert Haas
The GRANT statement can now specify WITH INHERIT TRUE or WITH INHERIT FALSE to control whether the member inherits the granted role's permissions. For symmetry, you can now likewise write WITH ADMIN TRUE or WITH ADMIN FALSE to turn ADMIN OPTION on or off. If a GRANT does not specify WITH INHERIT, the behavior based on whether the member role is marked INHERIT or NOINHERIT. This means that if all roles are marked INHERIT or NOINHERIT before any role grants are performed, the behavior is identical to what we had before; otherwise, it's different, because ALTER ROLE [NO]INHERIT now only changes the default behavior of future grants, and has no effect on existing ones.

2022-08-22Make role grant system more consistent with other privileges.Robert Haas
Previously, membership of role A in role B could be recorded in the catalog tables only once. This meant that a new grant of role A to role B would overwrite the previous grant. For other object types, a new grant of permission on an object - in this case role A - exists along side the existing grant provided that the grantor is different. Either grant can be revoked independently of the other, and permissions remain so long as at least one grant remains. Make role grants work similarly. Previously, when granting membership in a role, the superuser could specify any role whatsoever as the grantor, but for other object types, the grantor of record must be either the owner of the object, or a role that currently has privileges to perform a similar GRANT. Implement the same scheme for role grants, treating the bootstrap superuser as the role owner since roles do not have owners. This means that attempting to revoke a grant, or admin option on a grant, can now fail if there are dependent privileges, and that CASCADE can be used to revoke these. It also means that you can't grant ADMIN OPTION on a role back to a user who granted it directly or indirectly to you, similar to how you can't give WITH GRANT OPTION on a privilege back to a role which granted it directly or indirectly to you. Previously, only the superuser could specify GRANTED BY with a user other than the current user. Relax that rule to allow the grantor to be any role whose privileges the current user posseses. This doesn't improve compatibility with what we do for other object types, where support for GRANTED BY is entirely vestigial, but it makes this feature more usable and seems to make sense to change at the same time we're changing related behaviors. Along the way, fix "ALTER GROUP group_name ADD USER user_name" to require the same privileges as "GRANT group_name TO user_name". Previously, CREATEROLE privileges were sufficient for either, but only the former form was permissible with ADMIN OPTION on the role. Now, either CREATEROLE or ADMIN OPTION on the role suffices for either spelling. Patch by me, reviewed by Stephen Frost.

2022-04-06Allow granting SET and ALTER SYSTEM privileges on GUC parameters.Tom Lane
This patch allows "PGC_SUSET" parameters to be set by non-superusers if they have been explicitly granted the privilege to do so. The privilege to perform ALTER SYSTEM SET/RESET on a specific parameter can also be granted. Such privileges are cluster-wide, not per database. They are tracked in a new shared catalog, pg_parameter_acl. Granting and revoking these new privileges works as one would expect. One caveat is that PGC_USERSET GUCs are unaffected by the SET privilege --- one could wish that those were handled by a revocable grant to PUBLIC, but they are not, because we couldn't make it robust enough for GUCs defined by extensions.

2022-03-28Use has_privs_for_roles for predefined role checksJoe Conway
Generally if a role is granted membership to another role with NOINHERIT they must use SET ROLE to access the privileges of that role, however with predefined roles the membership and privilege is conflated. Fix that by replacing is_member_of_role with has_privs_for_role for predefined roles.

2022-03-28Remove the ability of a role to administer itself.Robert Haas
Commit f9fd1764615ed5d85fab703b0ffb0c323fe7dfd5 effectively gave every role ADMIN OPTION on itself. However, this appears to be something that happened accidentally as a result of refactoring work rather than an intentional decision. Almost a decade later, it was discovered that this was a security vulnerability. As a result, commit fea164a72a7bfd50d77ba5fb418d357f8f2bb7d0 restricted this implicit ADMIN OPTION privilege to be exercisable only when the role being administered is the same as the session user and when no security-restricted operation is in progress. That commit also documented the existence of this implicit privilege for what seems to be the first time. The effect of the privilege is to allow a login role to grant the privileges of that role, and optionally ADMIN OPTION on it, to some other role. That's an unusual thing to do, because generally membership is granted in roles used as groups, rather than roles used as users. Therefore, it does not seem likely that removing the privilege will break things for many PostgreSQL users. However, it will make it easier to reason about the permissions system. This is the only case where a user who has not been given any special permission (superuser, or ADMIN OPTION on some role) can modify role membership, so removing it makes things more consistent. For example, if a superuser sets up role A and B and grants A to B but no other privileges to anyone, she can now be sure that no one else will be able to revoke that grant. Without this change, that would have been true only if A was a non-login role. Patch by me. Reviewed by Tom Lane and Stephen Frost.

2021-03-31Fix has_column_privilege function corner caseJoe Conway
According to the comments, when an invalid or dropped column oid is passed to has_column_privilege(), the intention has always been to return NULL. However, when the caller had table level privilege the invalid/missing column was never discovered, because table permissions were checked first. Fix that by introducing extended versions of pg_attribute_acl(check|mask) and pg_class_acl(check|mask) which take a new argument, is_missing. When is_missing is NULL, the old behavior is preserved. But when is_missing is passed by the caller, no ERROR is thrown for dropped or missing columns/relations, and is_missing is flipped to true. This in turn allows has_column_privilege to check for column privileges first, providing the desired semantics. Not backpatched since it is a user visible behavioral change with no previous complaints, and the fix is a bit on the invasive side.

2018-11-20Remove WITH OIDS support, change oid catalog column visibility.Andres Freund
Previously tables declared WITH OIDS, including a significant fraction of the catalog tables, stored the oid column not as a normal column, but as part of the tuple header. This special column was not shown by default, which was somewhat odd, as it's often (consider e.g. pg_class.oid) one of the more important parts of a row. Neither pg_dump nor COPY included the contents of the oid column by default. The fact that the oid column was not an ordinary column necessitated a significant amount of special case code to support oid columns. That already was painful for the existing, but upcoming work aiming to make table storage pluggable, would have required expanding and duplicating that "specialness" significantly. WITH OIDS has been deprecated since 2005 (commit ff02d0a05280e0). Remove it. Removing includes: - CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE syntax for declaring the table to be WITH OIDS has been removed (WITH (oids[ = true]) will error out) - pg_dump does not support dumping tables declared WITH OIDS and will issue a warning when dumping one (and ignore the oid column). - restoring an pg_dump archive with pg_restore will warn when restoring a table with oid contents (and ignore the oid column) - COPY will refuse to load binary dump that includes oids. - pg_upgrade will error out when encountering tables declared WITH OIDS, they have to be altered to remove the oid column first. - Functionality to access the oid of the last inserted row (like plpgsql's RESULT_OID, spi's SPI_lastoid, ...) has been removed. The syntax for declaring a table WITHOUT OIDS (or WITH (oids = false) for CREATE TABLE) is still supported. While that requires a bit of support code, it seems unnecessary to break applications / dumps that do not use oids, and are explicit about not using them. The biggest user of WITH OID columns was postgres' catalog. This commit changes all 'magic' oid columns to be columns that are normally declared and stored. To reduce unnecessary query breakage all the newly added columns are still named 'oid', even if a table's column naming scheme would indicate 'reloid' or such. This obviously requires adapting a lot code, mostly replacing oid access via HeapTupleGetOid() with access to the underlying Form_pg_*->oid column. The bootstrap process now assigns oids for all oid columns in genbki.pl that do not have an explicit value (starting at the largest oid previously used), only oids assigned later by oids will be above FirstBootstrapObjectId. As the oid column now is a normal column the special bootstrap syntax for oids has been removed. Oids are not automatically assigned during insertion anymore, all backend code explicitly assigns oids with GetNewOidWithIndex(). For the rare case that insertions into the catalog via SQL are called for the new pg_nextoid() function can be used (which only works on catalog tables). The fact that oid columns on system tables are now normal columns means that they will be included in the set of columns expanded by * (i.e. SELECT * FROM pg_class will now include the table's oid, previously it did not). It'd not technically be hard to hide oid column by default, but that'd mean confusing behavior would either have to be carried forward forever, or it'd cause breakage down the line. While it's not unlikely that further adjustments are needed, the scope/invasiveness of the patch makes it worthwhile to get merge this now. It's painful to maintain externally, too complicated to commit after the code code freeze, and a dependency of a number of other patches. Catversion bump, for obvious reasons.

2018-10-02Fix corner-case failures in has_foo_privilege() family of functions.Tom Lane
The variants of these functions that take numeric inputs (OIDs or column numbers) are supposed to return NULL rather than failing on bad input; this rule reduces problems with snapshot skew when queries apply the functions to all rows of a catalog. has_column_privilege() had careless handling of the case where the table OID didn't exist. You might get something like this: select has_column_privilege(9999,'nosuchcol','select'); ERROR: column "nosuchcol" of relation "(null)" does not exist or you might get a crash, depending on the platform's printf's response to a null string pointer. In addition, while applying the column-number variant to a dropped column returned NULL as desired, applying the column-name variant did not: select has_column_privilege('mytable','........pg.dropped.2........','select'); ERROR: column "........pg.dropped.2........" of relation "mytable" does not exist It seems better to make this case return NULL as well. Also, the OID-accepting variants of has_foreign_data_wrapper_privilege, has_server_privilege, and has_tablespace_privilege didn't follow the principle of returning NULL for nonexistent OIDs. Superusers got TRUE, everybody else got an error. Per investigation of Jaime Casanova's report of a new crash in HEAD. These behaviors have been like this for a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches.

2018-09-24Document aclitem functions and operatorsJoe Conway
aclitem functions and operators have been heretofore undocumented. Fix that. While at it, ensure the non-operator aclitem functions have pg_description strings. Does not seem worthwhile to back-patch. Author: Fabien Coelho, with pg_description from John Naylor, and significant refactoring and editorialization by me.

2018-05-01Clean up warnings from -Wimplicit-fallthrough.Tom Lane
Recent gcc can warn about switch-case fall throughs that are not explicitly labeled as intentional. This seems like a good thing, so clean up the warnings exposed thereby by labeling all such cases with comments that gcc will recognize. In files that already had one or more suitable comments, I generally matched the existing style of those. Otherwise I went with /* FALLTHROUGH */, which is one of the spellings approved at the more-restrictive-than-default level -Wimplicit-fallthrough=4. (At the default level you can also spell it /* FALL ?THRU */, and it's not picky about case. What you can't do is include additional text in the same comment, so some existing comments containing versions of this aren't good enough.) Testing with gcc 8.0.1 (Fedora 28's current version), I found that I also had to put explicit "break"s after elog(ERROR) or ereport(ERROR); apparently, for this purpose gcc doesn't recognize that those don't return. That seems like possibly a gcc bug, but it's fine because in most places we did that anyway; so this amounts to a visit from the style police.

2018-01-19Replace GrantObjectType with ObjectTypePeter Eisentraut
There used to be a lot of different *Type and *Kind symbol groups to address objects within different commands, most of which have been replaced by ObjectType, starting with b256f2426433c56b4bea3a8102757749885b81ba. But this conversion was never done for the ACL commands until now. This change ends up being just a plain replacement of the types and symbols, without any code restructuring needed, except deleting some now redundant code.

2017-11-26Make has_sequence_privilege support WITH GRANT OPTIONJoe Conway
The various has_*_privilege() functions all support an optional WITH GRANT OPTION added to the supported privilege types to test whether the privilege is held with grant option. That is, all except has_sequence_privilege() variations. Fix that. Back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/005147f6-8280-42e9-5a03-dd2c1e4397ef@joeconway.com
2017-10-11Doc: fix missing explanation of default object privileges.Tom Lane
The GRANT reference page, which lists the default privileges for new objects, failed to mention that USAGE is granted by default for data types and domains. As a lesser sin, it also did not specify anything about the initial privileges for sequences, FDWs, foreign servers, or large objects. Fix that, and add a comment to acldefault() in the probably vain hope of getting people to maintain this list in future. Noted by Laurenz Albe, though I editorialized on the wording a bit. Back-patch to all supported branches, since they all have this behavior. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1507620895.4152.1.camel@cybertec.at
