> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-12131
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: security
> Reporter: Jan Høydahl
> Assignee: Jan Høydahl
> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 2.5h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h

> Currently the {{RuleBasedAuthorizationPlugin}} relies on explicitly mapping
> users to roles. However, when users are authenticated by an external Identity
> service (e.g. JWT as implemented in SOLR-12121), that external service keeps
> track of the user's roles, and will pass that as a "claim" in the token (JWT).
> In order for Solr to be able to Authorise requests based on those roles, the
> Authorization plugin should be able to accept (verified) roles from the
> request instead of explicit mapping.
> Suggested approach is to create a new interface {{VerifiedUserRoles}} and a
> {{PrincipalWithUserRoles}} which implements the interface. The Authorization
> plugin can then pull the roles from request. By piggy-backing on the
> Principal, we have a seamless way to transfer extra external information, and
> there is also a natural relationship:
> {code:java}
> User Authentication -> Role validation -> Creating a Principal{code}
> I plan to add the interface, the custom Principal class and restructure
> {{RuleBasedAuthorizationPlugin}} in an abstract base class and two
> implementations: {{RuleBasedAuthorizationPlugin}} (as today) and a new
> {{ExternalRoleRuleBasedAuthorizationPlugin.}}
