- <h1>Polkit access control</h1>
-
- <p>
- Libvirt's client <a href="acl.html">access control framework</a> allows
- administrators to setup fine grained permission rules across client users,
- managed objects and API operations. This allows client connections
- to be locked down to a minimal set of privileges. The polkit driver
- provides a simple implementation of the access control framework.
- </p>
-
- <ul id="toc"></ul>
-
- <h2><a id="intro">Introduction</a></h2>
-
- <p>
- A default install of libvirt will typically use
- <a href="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/polkit/">polkit</a>
- to authenticate the initial user connection to libvirtd. This is a
- very coarse grained check though, either allowing full read-write
- access to all APIs, or just read-only access. The polkit access
- control driver in libvirt builds on this capability to allow for
- fine grained control over the operations a user may perform on an
- object.
- </p>
-
- <h2><a id="perms">Permission names</a></h2>
-
- <p>
- The libvirt <a href="acl.html#perms">object names and permission names</a>
- are mapped onto polkit action names using the simple pattern:
- </p>
-
- <pre>org.libvirt.api.$object.$permission
-</pre>
-
- <p>
- The only caveat is that any underscore characters in the
- object or permission names are converted to hyphens. So,
- for example, the <code>search_storage_vols</code> permission
- on the <code>storage_pool</code> object maps to the polkit
- action:
- </p>
- <pre>org.libvirt.api.storage-pool.search-storage-vols
-</pre>
-
- <p>
- The default policy for any permission which corresponds to
- a "read only" operation, is to allow access. All other
- permissions default to deny access.
- </p>
-
- <h2><a id="attrs">Object identity attributes</a></h2>
-
- <p>
- To allow polkit authorization rules to be written to match
- against individual object instances, libvirt provides a number
- of authorization detail attributes when performing a permission
- check. The set of attributes varies according to the type
- of object being checked

- <h2><a id="user">User identity attributes</a></h2>
-
- <p>
- At this point in time, the only attribute provided by
- libvirt to identify the user invoking the operation
- is the PID of the client program. This means that the
- polkit access control driver is only useful if connections
- to libvirt are restricted to its UNIX domain socket. If
- connections are being made to a TCP socket, no identifying
- information is available and access will be denied.
- Also note that if the client is connecting via an SSH
- tunnel, it is the local SSH user that will be identified.
- In future versions, it is expected that more information
- about the client user will be provided, including the
- SASL / Kerberos username and/or x509 distinguished
- name obtained from the authentication provider in use.
- </p>
-
-
- <h2><a id="checks">Writing access control policies</a></h2>
-
- <p>
- If using versions of polkit prior to 0.106 then it is only
- possible to validate (user, permission) pairs via the <code>.pkla</code>
- files. Fully validation of the (user, permission, object) triple
- requires the new JavaScript <code>.rules</code> support that
- was introduced in version 0.106. The latter is what will be
- described here.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- Libvirt does not ship any rules files by default. It merely
- provides a definition of the default behaviour for each
- action (permission). As noted earlier, permissions which
- correspond to read-only operations in libvirt will be allowed
- to all users by default; everything else is denied by default.
- Defining custom rules requires creation of a file in the
- <code>/etc/polkit-1/rules.d</code> directory with a name
- chosen by the administrator (<code>100-libvirt-acl.rules</code>
- would be a reasonable choice). See the <code>polkit(8)</code>
- manual page for a description of how to write these files
- in general. The key idea is to create a file containing
- something like
- </p>
-
- <pre>
-polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
- ....logic to check 'action' and 'subject'...
-});
- </pre>
-
- <p>
- In this code snippet above, the <code>action</code> object
- instance will represent the libvirt permission being checked
- along with identifying attributes for the object it is being
- applied to. The <code>subject</code> meanwhile will identify
- the libvirt client app (with the caveat above about it only
- dealing with local clients connected via the UNIX socket).
- On the <code>action</code> object, the permission name is
- accessible via the <code>id</code> attribute, while the
- object identifying attributes are exposed via the

+Polkit access control
+=====================
+
+Libvirt's client `access control framework <acl.html>`__ allows
+administrators to setup fine grained permission rules across client
+users, managed objects and API operations. This allows client
+connections to be locked down to a minimal set of privileges. The polkit
+driver provides a simple implementation of the access control framework.
+
+.. contents::
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+A default install of libvirt will typically use
+`polkit <https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/polkit/>`__ to
+authenticate the initial user connection to libvirtd. This is a very
+coarse grained check though, either allowing full read-write access to
+all APIs, or just read-only access. The polkit access control driver in
+libvirt builds on this capability to allow for fine grained control over
+the operations a user may perform on an object.
+
+Permission names
+----------------
+
+The libvirt `object names and permission names <acl.html#perms>`__ are
+mapped onto polkit action names using the simple pattern:
+
+::
+
+ org.libvirt.api.$object.$permission
+
+The only caveat is that any underscore characters in the object or
+permission names are converted to hyphens. So, for example, the
+``search_storage_vols`` permission on the ``storage_pool`` object maps
+to the polkit action:
+
+::
+
+ org.libvirt.api.storage-pool.search-storage-vols
+
+The default policy for any permission which corresponds to a "read only"
+operation, is to allow access. All other permissions default to deny
+access.
+
+Object identity attributes
+--------------------------
+
+To allow polkit authorization rules to be written to match against
+individual object instances, libvirt provides a number of authorization
+detail attributes when performing a permission check. The set of
+attributes varies according to the type of object being checked

+
+Hypervisor Driver connect_driver
+--------------------------------
+
+The ``connect_driver`` parameter describes the client's `remote
+Connection Driver <remote.html>`__ name based on the `URI <uri.html>`__
+used for the connection.
+
+:since:`Since 4.1.0`, when calling an API outside the scope of the primary
+connection driver, the primary driver will attempt to open a secondary
+connection to the specific API driver in order to process the API. For
+example, when hypervisor domain processing needs to make an API call
+within the storage driver or the network filter driver an attempt to
+open a connection to the "storage" or "nwfilter" driver will be made.
+Similarly, a "storage" primary connection may need to create a
+connection to the "secret" driver in order to process secrets for the
+API. If successful, then calls to those API's will occur in the
+``connect_driver`` context of the secondary connection driver rather
+than in the context of the primary driver. This affects the
+``connect_driver`` returned from rule generation from the
+``action.loookup`` function. The following table provides a list of the
+various connection drivers and the ``connect_driver`` name used by each
+regardless of primary or secondary connection. The access denied error
+message from libvirt will list the connection driver by name that denied
+the access.

+
+User identity attributes
+------------------------
+
+At this point in time, the only attribute provided by libvirt to
+identify the user invoking the operation is the PID of the client
+program. This means that the polkit access control driver is only useful
+if connections to libvirt are restricted to its UNIX domain socket. If
+connections are being made to a TCP socket, no identifying information
+is available and access will be denied. Also note that if the client is
+connecting via an SSH tunnel, it is the local SSH user that will be
+identified. In future versions, it is expected that more information
+about the client user will be provided, including the SASL / Kerberos
+username and/or x509 distinguished name obtained from the authentication
+provider in use.
+
+Writing access control policies
+-------------------------------
+
+If using versions of polkit prior to 0.106 then it is only possible to
+validate (user, permission) pairs via the ``.pkla`` files. Fully
+validation of the (user, permission, object) triple requires the new
+JavaScript ``.rules`` support that was introduced in version 0.106. The
+latter is what will be described here.
+
+Libvirt does not ship any rules files by default. It merely provides a
+definition of the default behaviour for each action (permission). As
+noted earlier, permissions which correspond to read-only operations in
+libvirt will be allowed to all users by default; everything else is
+denied by default. Defining custom rules requires creation of a file in
+the ``/etc/polkit-1/rules.d`` directory with a name chosen by the
+administrator (``100-libvirt-acl.rules`` would be a reasonable choice).
+See the ``polkit(8)`` manual page for a description of how to write
+these files in general. The key idea is to create a file containing
+something like
+
+::
+
+ polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
+ ....logic to check 'action' and 'subject'...
+ });
+
+In this code snippet above, the ``action`` object instance will
+represent the libvirt permission being checked along with identifying
+attributes for the object it is being applied to. The ``subject``
+meanwhile will identify the libvirt client app (with the caveat above
+about it only dealing with local clients connected via the UNIX socket).
+On the ``action`` object, the permission name is accessible via the
+``id`` attribute, while the object identifying attributes are exposed
+via the ``lookup`` method.
+
+See `source
+code <https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/tree/master/examples/polkit>`__
+for a more complex example.
+
+Example: restricting ability to connect to drivers
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Consider a local user ``berrange`` who has been granted permission to
+connect to libvirt in full read-write mode. The goal is to only allow
+them to use the ``QEMU`` driver and not the Xen or LXC drivers which are
+also available in libvirtd. To achieve this we need to write a rule
+which checks whether the ``connect_driver`` attribute is ``QEMU``, and
+match on an action name of ``org.libvirt.api.connect.getattr``. Using
+the javascript rules format, this ends up written as
+
+::
+
+ polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
+ if (action.id == "org.libvirt.api.connect.getattr" &&
+ subject.user == "berrange") {
+ if (action.lookup("connect_driver") == 'QEMU') {
+ return polkit.Result.YES;
+ } else {
+ return polkit.Result.NO;
+ }
+ }
+ });
+
+Example: restricting access to a single domain
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Consider a local user ``berrange`` who has been granted permission to
+connect to libvirt in full read-write mode. The goal is to only allow
+them to see the domain called ``demo`` on the LXC driver. To achieve
+this we need to write a rule which checks whether the ``connect_driver``
+attribute is ``LXC`` and the ``domain_name`` attribute is ``demo``, and
+match on an action name of ``org.libvirt.api.domain.getattr``. Using the
+javascript rules format, this ends up written as
+
