Motivation: for applications that use RM ACL verification functions, they would
want to return errors back to the user, in ways that are consistent with Redis.
While investigating how we should return ACL errors to the user, we realized that
Redis isn't consistent, and currently returns ACL error strings in 3 primary ways.
[For the actual implications of this change, see the "Impact" section at the bottom]
1. how it returns an error when calling a command normally
ACL_DENIED_CMD -> "this user has no permissions to run the '%s' command"
ACL_DENIED_KEY -> "this user has no permissions to access one of the keys used as arguments"
ACL_DENIED_CHANNEL -> "this user has no permissions to access one of the channels used as arguments"
2. how it returns an error when calling via 'acl dryrun' command
ACL_DENIED_CMD -> "This user has no permissions to run the '%s' command"
ACL_DENIED_KEY -> "This user has no permissions to access the '%s' key"
ACL_DENIED_CHANNEL -> "This user has no permissions to access the '%s' channel"
3. how it returns an error via RM_Call (and scripting is similar).
ACL_DENIED_CMD -> "can't run this command or subcommand";
ACL_DENIED_KEY -> "can't access at least one of the keys mentioned in the command arguments";
ACL_DENIED_CHANNEL -> "can't publish to the channel mentioned in the command";
In addition, if one wants to use RM_Call's "dry run" capability instead of the RM ACL
functions directly, one also sees a different problem than it returns ACL errors with a -ERR,
not a -PERM, so it can't be returned directly to the caller.
This PR modifies the code to generate a base message in a common manner with the ability
to set verbose flag for acl dry run errors, and keep it unset for normal/rm_call/script cases
```c
sds getAclErrorMessage(int acl_res, user *user, struct redisCommand *cmd, sds errored_val, int verbose) {
switch (acl_res) {
case ACL_DENIED_CMD:
return sdscatfmt(sdsempty(), "User %S has no permissions to run "
"the '%S' command", user->name, cmd->fullname);
case ACL_DENIED_KEY:
if (verbose) {
return sdscatfmt(sdsempty(), "User %S has no permissions to access "
"the '%S' key", user->name, errored_val);
} else {
return sdsnew("No permissions to access a key");
}
case ACL_DENIED_CHANNEL:
if (verbose) {
return sdscatfmt(sdsempty(), "User %S has no permissions to access "
"the '%S' channel", user->name, errored_val);
} else {
return sdsnew("No permissions to access a channel");
}
}
```
The caller can append/prepend the message (adding NOPERM for normal/RM_Call or indicating it's within a script).
Impact:
- Plain commands, as well as scripts and RM_Call now include the user name.
- ACL DRYRUN remains the only one that's verbose (mentions the offending channel or key name)
- Changes RM_Call ACL errors from being a `-ERR` to being `-NOPERM` (besides for textual changes)
**This somewhat a breaking change, but it only affects the RM_Call with both `C` and `E`, or `D`**
- Changes ACL errors in scripts textually from being
`The user executing the script <old non unified text>`
to
`ACL failure in script: <new unified text>`
Adds a number of user management/ACL validaiton/command execution functions to improve a
Redis module's ability to enforce ACLs correctly and easily.
* RM_SetContextUser - sets a RedisModuleUser on the context, which RM_Call will use to both
validate ACLs (if requested and set) as well as assign to the client so that scripts executed via
RM_Call will have proper ACL validation.
* RM_SetModuleUserACLString - Enables one to pass an entire ACL string, not just a single OP
and have it applied to the user
* RM_GetModuleUserACLString - returns a stringified version of the user's ACL (same format as dump
and list). Contains an optimization to cache the stringified version until the underlying ACL is modified.
* Slightly re-purpose the "C" flag to RM_Call from just being about ACL check before calling the
command, to actually running the command with the right user, so that it also affects commands
inside EVAL scripts. see #11231
