I am reopening this old thread – we switched this morning to version 2021.03 – which seems to work just fine.

However, the annoying problem mentioned below seems to be still there: without admin rights no one seems to be able to modify the health state of any device, even those who have the proper “can change device” permission for members of our group.

Is this something experienced by other people, or just us ?

Regards,

Seb

Hi Remi,

Thanks for your answer.

• You can restrict view/submit/change permissions per device and per groups. So go into the specific device admin page (something
• like https://<instance>/admin/lava_scheduler_app/device/<hostname>/change/).
• At the bottom of the page you will be able to add the restrictions.

This is exactly what I had done previously. Adding the “lava_scheduler_app | device | Can change device” permission to our group does not seem to have any effect.

Regards,

Seb

Hello,

the authorization models changed some time ago. The doc for the new model is here: https://docs.lavasoftware.org/lava/authorization.html

You can restrict view/submit/change permissions per device and per groups. So go into the specific device admin page (something like https://<instance>/admin/lava_scheduler_app/device/<hostname>/change/).

At the bottom of the page you will be able to add the restrictions.

Hi,

We used to set devices access permission using groups. So we would restrict access to a subset of devices to members of a specific group.

When switching to lava 2020.10, it seems the permission to change a device does not allow to change device health state anymore. This used to be possible in previous version, and was very convenient for maintenance. With 2020.10 it seems only a lava admin is allowed to change a device health.

Is it the expected behavior ? Did I miss an option somewhere ?

A bit more details:

All our devices are set to:

• “device owner”->”Group with physical access” -> our_group.
• “group device permissions”->”lava_sched_app |device | Can change device” -> “Group” -> our_group.
• I intentionally did not give any specific permission to the “our_group” group, like “Can change device”, since it would allow members of this group to change any devices. Access control has to work both ways 😊

Kind regards,

Seb
