Each role-management guard tested provider namespaces on its own, and the tests disagreed with one another. reject_managed_provider and reject_managed_role refuse the system namespace and any namespace a configured role provider owns. The storage layer allows only lakekeeper and system. Reading the code left it unclear which rule was the real one.

This commit gives the two underlying questions names. identity_owner says who owns a role's name, description, provider binding and existence. membership_owner says who owns the set of members assigned to it. The two answers differ for the system namespace, whose identity is fixed while an instance admin may still edit its membership, so a single rule could never describe both.

reject_managed_provider and reject_managed_role now read identity_owner. A new guard, reject_provider_owned_membership, takes over the two membership sites. It states the axis it enforces, and an authorizer that manages assignments itself can call the same function.

Behaviour is unchanged.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Enforced consistent ownership rules when managing roles and memberships.
    • Prevented direct membership changes to provider-owned roles while continuing to allow permitted provisioning and API-managed updates.
    • Preserved existing protections for catalog-managed roles.
  • Improvements
    • Standardized handling of role ownership classifications, resulting in more predictable validation and error behavior across role-management operations.

Each role-management guard tested provider namespaces on its own, and the
tests disagreed with one another. `reject_managed_provider` and
`reject_managed_role` refuse the `system` namespace and any namespace a
configured role provider owns. The storage layer allows only `lakekeeper`
and `system`. Reading the code left it unclear which rule was the real one.

This commit gives the two underlying questions names. `identity_owner`
says who owns a role's name, description, provider binding and existence.
`membership_owner` says who owns the set of members assigned to it. The
two answers differ for the `system` namespace, whose identity is fixed
while an instance admin may still edit its membership, so a single rule
could never describe both.

`reject_managed_provider` and `reject_managed_role` now read
`identity_owner`. A new guard, `reject_provider_owned_membership`, takes
over the two membership sites. It states the axis it enforces, and an
authorizer that manages assignments itself can call the same function.

Behaviour is unchanged.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The role API adds ownership classification for identities and memberships. Existing provider and role guards use the classification. Membership endpoints reject changes to provider-owned roles before backend-specific authorization logic.

Changes

Role ownership enforcement

Layer / File(s) Summary
Ownership classification and guards
crates/lakekeeper/src/api/management/v1/role.rs
Adds IdentityOwner and MembershipOwner, centralizes provider classification, and adds membership mutation enforcement.
Membership endpoint enforcement
crates/lakekeeper/src/api/management/v1/role_membership.rs
Uses reject_provider_owned_membership when adding or removing role members. The guard runs before the authorizer backend split.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 39f1c

This change separates role identity and membership ownership so system-role memberships remain editable under their dedicated rules while provider-owned memberships are rejected. Focused tests for each ownership category are still needed to reduce the chance of authorization regressions.

Poem

A rabbit checks each role with care
Provider locks are waiting there
Catalog paths stay neatly known
API paths may change their own
Membership guards now hop along

Add focused tests for the new ownership contract.

The new identity_owner, membership_owner, and reject_provider_owned_membership paths are not covered by the provided tests. Add cases for system, a configured provider, and an unconfigured provider. Verify both classifier results and guard outcomes.
