Consider adding support for Open Policy Agent
Feature Request
https://www.openpolicyagent.org/
Embed it as a library to support RBAC definitiions, people can create OPA roles in our RBAC:
role: v3
name: opa-policy
spec:
policy |
package application.authz
# Only owner can update the pet's information
# Ownership information is provided as part of OPA's input
default allow = false
allow {
input.method == "PUT"
some petid
input.path = ["pets", petid]
input.user == input.owner
}
Any community interest? :+1: if you are interested in using it and share your use case
We've a +1 from a community user. https://github.com/gravitational/teleport/issues/3454#issuecomment-679830076
One use case would be fine grained control over who can login under what conditions. Alice can login to this server, but only between 8-5 PT, etc. Kelly can log into this server, but only from the Miami jumphost. Jerry can ssh into this server, but only if running a non-interactive command that matches the pattern 'rm /home/jerry/logs//.gz', etc.
We've encountered a limitation of teleport's existing yaml RBAC scheme that OPA would solve. kubernetes_label and kubernetes_group are not related, so it's not possible to selectively grant a role on one cluster without granting it on all clusters. For example, we would like to grant a role system:masters permissions on one cluster, but a limited role on all others, but today adding system:masters to a role grants them that permission on all enabled clusters.
Of course, this could be fixed by changing teleport's current yaml configuration to support binding these two flags, but I suspect there will be other cases like this as users try to set up more complex RBAC controls. Open policy agent as a general purpose solution is attractive since it would support arbitrarily complex policies.
OPA is also an interesting possibility for more standard authorization, which would be helpful since many current teleport users like us have to juggle identity provider RBAC (eg. Okta), teleport RBAC, cloud provider RBAC (e.g. AWS IAM), and kubernetes RBAC.
+1 for interest here as well. Talking to a group that is also interested in adding this capability into Teleport.
It seems this issue has gained a lot more community interests comparing to other open issues.
Just to add some info here, there is gatekeeper with some benefits comparing to OPA.
Was just asked by a potential customer about Teleport's OPA support at KubeconEU.
