Refactor LfsRequest to stop referencing auth::result.actor directly
What does this MR do?
in #328692 there were remarks regarding how we handle find_for_git_client
method results. This method is returning Gitlab::Auth::Result
instance.
In Gitlab::Auth::Result
as an actor
we can have DeployToken
or User
, which is causing confusion and may lead to some problems: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security/gitlab/-/merge_requests/1356.
My goal here is to create more resilient and less confusing code.
Goal 1: stop using .actor
with checking the type.
Here I implemented changes in LFS facing endpoints: they no longer using user
derived from actor
from Gitlab::Auth::Result
class, but separately DeployToken instance or User instance.
In LfsApiController
and LfsStorageController
we do not call user
directly - authorization goes through LfsRequest
module
In LfsLocksApiController
we need User
instance - looking at what is implemented in the services.
