Database

How to set up and validate locally

  1. Enable feature flag Feature.enable(:custom_roles_vulnerability)

  2. Creates a personal access token with the API scope.

  3. Pick a group with at least one project (project), pick a user who is member of this project (gues access level) - user

  4. Check if a user can access the vulnerability page of the project (eg. https://gdk.test:3443/flightjs/Flight/-/security/vulnerability_report), they should not be able to access it

  5. Create a custom role using the API: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/member_roles.html#add-a-member-role-to-a-group

    • curl --request POST --header "Content-Type: application/json" --header "Authorization: Bearer $YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" --data '{"base_access_level" : 10, "read_vulnerability" : true}' "https://gdk.test:3443/api/v4/groups/$YOUR_GROUP_ID/member_roles"

    • You can also test with base_access_level = 10 which should not work (minimal base access level is reporter)

  6. Associates the member with the role using the Group and Project Members API endpoint

    • curl --request PUT --header "Content-Type: application/json" --header "Authorization: Bearer $YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" --data '{"member_role_id": '$MEMBER_ROLE_ID', "access_level": 10}' "https://example.gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/$ID/members/$GUEST_USER_ID"
  7. Check if a user can access the vulnerability page of the project (eg. https://gdk.test:3443/flightjs/Flight/-/security/vulnerability_report), they should be able to access it
