[jira] [Commented] (SLING-11160) Repoinit does not allow to remove individual ACEs
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-11160?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17496949#comment-17496949 ]
Angela Schreiber commented on SLING-11160:
------------------------------------------
hi [~bdelacretaz], [~kpauls], [~cziegeler], attached an initial draft on how that could be addressed.... jcr-repoinit only partially implemented, not tested and some tests would fail because REMOVE-something is implemented instead of throwing.
didn't want to invest a ton of time as long as we didn't have an agreement on how to fix that. so rather an initial basis for the discussion and feasibility. wdyt?

> Key: SLING-11160
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-11160
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Repoinit

> With SLING-9090 support for using _REMOVE *_ for all entries at a given path or for a given principal has been implemented.
> However as indicated in the same issue the intended usage of _REMOVE some-thing-specific_ is not clear.
> What is therefore missing with repo-init is the ability to remove a single access control entry that matches
> - prinicipal
> - privileges
> - allow-status
> - single value restriction
> - mv restrictions.
> As far as I can see the biggest issue is the fact that REMOVE vs ALLOW/DENY are mutually exclusive as the other params listed above can be extracted from a given AclLine in combination with the set-ACL statement.
> This could be fixed by adjusting the following parser method
> {code}
> AclLine privilegesLineOperation() :
> {}
> {
> (
> <REMOVE> { return new AclLine(AclLine.Action.REMOVE); }
> | ( <ALLOW> { return new AclLine(AclLine.Action.ALLOW); } )
> | ( <DENY> { return new AclLine(AclLine.Action.DENY); } )
> )
> }
> {code}
> such that
> - REMOVE is optional, followed by
> - ALLOW or DENY
> The {{AclLine}} would then need to be slightly adjusted such that REMOVE can be combined with either ALLOW or DENY.
> Otherwise, I don't see how {{AccessControlList.removeAccessControlEntry(AccessControlEntry)}} could be implemented in org.apache.sling.jcr.repoinit for a single ACE.
> Or maybe the intention was something different in the first place?
> [~bdelacretaz], I would appreciate if you had time to comment on this.
