Row-Level Security Policies (RLS)
Building on the updatable security-barrier views work, add the
ability to define policies on tables to limit the set of rows
which are returned from a query and which are allowed to be added
to a table. Expressions defined by the policy for filtering are
added to the security barrier quals of the query, while expressions
defined to check records being added to a table are added to the
with-check options of the query.
New top-level commands are CREATE/ALTER/DROP POLICY and are
controlled by the table owner. Row Security is able to be enabled
and disabled by the owner on a per-table basis using
ALTER TABLE .. ENABLE/DISABLE ROW SECURITY.
Per discussion, ROW SECURITY is disabled on tables by default and
must be enabled for policies on the table to be used. If no
policies exist on a table with ROW SECURITY enabled, a default-deny
policy is used and no records will be visible.
By default, row security is applied at all times except for the
table owner and the superuser. A new GUC, row_security, is added
which can be set to ON, OFF, or FORCE. When set to FORCE, row
security will be applied even for the table owner and superusers.
When set to OFF, row security will be disabled when allowed and an
error will be thrown if the user does not have rights to bypass row
security.
Per discussion, pg_dump sets row_security = OFF by default to ensure
that exports and backups will have all data in the table or will
error if there are insufficient privileges to bypass row security.
A new option has been added to pg_dump, --enable-row-security, to
ask pg_dump to export with row security enabled.
A new role capability, BYPASSRLS, which can only be set by the
superuser, is added to allow other users to be able to bypass row
security using row_security = OFF.
Many thanks to the various individuals who have helped with the
design, particularly Robert Haas for his feedback.

The <command>CREATE POLICY</command> command defines a new row-security
|
|
|
|
policy for a table. Note that row-security must also be enabled on the
|
|
|
|
table using <command>ALTER TABLE</command> in order for created policies
|
|
|
|
to be applied.

A row-security policy is an expression which is added to the security-barrier
|
|
|
|
qualifications of queries which are run against the table the policy is on,
|
|
|
|
or an expression which is added to the with-check options for a table and
|
|
|
|
which is applied to rows which would be added to the table.
|
|
|
|
The security-barrier qualifications will always be evaluated prior to any
|
|
|
|
user-defined functions or user-provided WHERE clauses, while the with-check
|
|
|
|
expression will be evaluated against the rows which are going to be added to
|
|
|
|
the table. By adding policies to a table, a user can limit the rows which a
|
|
|
|
given user can select, insert, update, or delete. This capability is also
|
|
|
|
known as Row-Level Security or RLS.

Policy names are per-table, therefore one policy name can be used for many
|
|
|
|
different tables and have a definition for each table which is appropriate to
|
|
|
|
that table.

Policies can be applied for specific commands or for specific roles. The
|
|
|
|
default for newly created policies is that they apply for all commands and
|
|
|
|
roles, unless otherwise specified. If multiple policies apply to a given
|
|
|
|
query, they will be combined using OR.
|
|
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
|
|
Note that while row-security policies will be applied for explicit queries
|
|
|
|
against tables in the system, they are not applied when the system is
|
|
|
|
performing internal referential integrity checks or validating constraints.
|
|
|
|
This means there are indirect ways to determine that a given value exists.
|
|
|
|
An example of this is attempting to insert a duplicate value
|
|
|
|
into a column which is the primary key or has a unique constraint. If the
|
|
|
|
insert fails then the user can infer that the value already exists (this
|
|
|
|
example assumes that the user is permitted by policy to insert
|
|
|
|
records which they are not allowed to see). Another example is where a user
|
|
|
|
is allowed to insert into a table which references another, otherwise hidden
|
|
|
|
table. Existence can be determined by the user inserting values into the
|
|
|
|
referencing table, where success would indicate that the value exists in the
|
|
|
|
referenced table. These issues can be addressed by carefully crafting
|
|
|
|
policies which prevent users from being able to insert, delete, or update
|
|
|
|
records at all which might possibly indicate a value they are not otherwise
|
2014-09-26 18:46:26 +02:00
|
|
|
able to see, or by using generated values (e.g.: surrogate keys) instead.

Regarding how policy expressions interact with the user: as the expressions
|
|
|
|
are added to the user's query directly, they will be run with the rights of
|
|
|
|
the user running the overall query. Therefore, users who are using a given
|
|
|
|
policy must be able to access any tables or functions referenced in the
|
|
|
|
expression or they will simply receive a permission denied error when
|
|
|
|
attempting to query the RLS-enabled table. This does not change how views
|
|
|
|
work, however. As with normal queries and views, permission checks and
|
|
|
|
policies for the tables which are referenced by a view will use the view
|
|
|
|
owner's rights and any policies which apply to the view owner.

Using <literal>ALL</literal> for a policy means that it will apply
|
|
|
|
to all commands, regardless of the type of command. If an
|
|
|
|
<literal>ALL</literal> policy exists and more specific policies
|
|
|
|
exist, then both the <literal>ALL</literal> policy and the more
|
|
|
|
specific policy (or policies) will be combined using
|
|
|
|
<literal>OR</literal>, as usual for overlapping policies.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, <literal>ALL</literal> policies will be applied to
|
|
|
|
both the selection side of a query and the modification side, using
|
|
|
|
the USING policy for both if only a USING policy has been defined.

As an example, if an <literal>UPDATE</literal> is issued, then the
|
|
|
|
<literal>ALL</literal> policy will be applicable to both what the
|
|
|
|
<literal>UPDATE</literal> will be able to select out as rows to be
|
|
|
|
updated (with the USING expression being applied), and it will be
|
|
|
|
applied to rows which result from the <literal>UPDATE</literal>
|
|
|
|
statement, to check if they are permitted to be added to the table
|
|
|
|
(using the WITH CHECK expression, if defined, and the USING expression
|
|
|
|
otherwise). If an INSERT or UPDATE command attempts to add rows to
|
|
|
|
the table which do not pass the <literal>ALL</literal> WITH CHECK
|
|
|
|
(or USING, if no WITH CHECK expression is defined) expression, the
|
|
|

command will error.

Code review for row security.
Buildfarm member tick identified an issue where the policies in the
relcache for a relation were were being replaced underneath a running
query, leading to segfaults while processing the policies to be added
to a query. Similar to how TupleDesc RuleLocks are handled, add in a
equalRSDesc() function to check if the policies have actually changed
and, if not, swap back the rsdesc field (using the original instead of
the temporairly built one; the whole structure is swapped and then
specific fields swapped back). This now passes a CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS
for me and should resolve the buildfarm error.
In addition to addressing this, add a new chapter in Data Definition
under Privileges which explains row security and provides examples of
its usage, change \d to always list policies (even if row security is
disabled- but note that it is disabled, or enabled with no policies),
rework check_role_for_policy (it really didn't need the entire policy,
but it did need to be using has_privs_of_role()), and change the field
in pg_class to relrowsecurity from relhasrowsecurity, based on
Heikki's suggestion. Also from Heikki, only issue SET ROW_SECURITY in
pg_restore when talking to a 9.5+ server, list Bypass RLS in \du, and
document --enable-row-security options for pg_dump and pg_restore.
Lastly, fix a number of minor whitespace and typo issues from Heikki,
Dimitri, add a missing #include, per Peter E, fix a few minor
variable-assigned-but-not-used and resource leak issues from Coverity
and add tab completion for role attribute bypassrls as well.

Using <literal>UPDATE</literal> for a policy means that it will apply
|
|
|
|
to <literal>UPDATE</literal> commands. As <literal>UPDATE</literal>
|
|
|
|
involves pulling an existing record and then making changes to some
|
|
|
|
portion (but possibly not all) of the record, the
|
|
|
|
<literal>UPDATE</literal> policy accepts both a USING expression and
|
|
|
|
a WITH CHECK expression. The USING expression will be used to
|
|
|
|
determine which records the <literal>UPDATE</literal> command will
|
|
|
|
see to operate against, while the <literal>WITH CHECK</literal>
|
|
|
|
expression defines what rows are allowed to be added back into the
|
|
|
|
relation (similar to the <literal>INSERT</literal> policy).
|
|
|
|
Any rows whose resulting values do not pass the
|
|
|
|
<literal>WITH CHECK</literal> expression will cause an ERROR and the
|
|
|
|
entire command will be aborted.

Using <literal>DELETE</literal> for a policy means that it will apply
|
|
|
|
to <literal>DELETE</literal> commands. Only rows which pass this
|
|
|
|
policy will be seen by a <literal>DELETE</literal> command. Rows may
|
|
|
|
be visible through a <literal>SELECT</literal> which are not seen by a
|
|
|
|
<literal>DELETE</literal>, as they do not pass the USING expression
|
|
|
|
for the <literal>DELETE</literal>, and rows which are not visible
|
|
|
|
through the <literal>SELECT</literal> policy may be deleted if they
|
|
|
|
pass the <literal>DELETE</literal> USING policy. The

Row-Level Security Policies (RLS)
Building on the updatable security-barrier views work, add the
ability to define policies on tables to limit the set of rows
which are returned from a query and which are allowed to be added
to a table. Expressions defined by the policy for filtering are
added to the security barrier quals of the query, while expressions
defined to check records being added to a table are added to the
with-check options of the query.
New top-level commands are CREATE/ALTER/DROP POLICY and are
controlled by the table owner. Row Security is able to be enabled
and disabled by the owner on a per-table basis using
ALTER TABLE .. ENABLE/DISABLE ROW SECURITY.
Per discussion, ROW SECURITY is disabled on tables by default and
must be enabled for policies on the table to be used. If no
policies exist on a table with ROW SECURITY enabled, a default-deny
policy is used and no records will be visible.
By default, row security is applied at all times except for the
table owner and the superuser. A new GUC, row_security, is added
which can be set to ON, OFF, or FORCE. When set to FORCE, row
security will be applied even for the table owner and superusers.
When set to OFF, row security will be disabled when allowed and an
error will be thrown if the user does not have rights to bypass row
security.
Per discussion, pg_dump sets row_security = OFF by default to ensure
that exports and backups will have all data in the table or will
error if there are insufficient privileges to bypass row security.
A new option has been added to pg_dump, --enable-row-security, to
ask pg_dump to export with row security enabled.
A new role capability, BYPASSRLS, which can only be set by the
superuser, is added to allow other users to be able to bypass row
security using row_security = OFF.
Many thanks to the various individuals who have helped with the
design, particularly Robert Haas for his feedback.
Authors include Craig Ringer, KaiGai Kohei, Adam Brightwell, Dean
Rasheed, with additional changes and rework by me.
