Fusillade

Fusillade (Federated User Identity Login & Access Decision Engine) is a service and library for managing user authentication and authorization in federated services. Fusillade is built to be simple and to leverage well-known auth protocols and standards together with existing global, scalable and supported IaaS APIs.

The AuthN functionality in Fusillade consists of a login HTTPS endpoint that delegates user authentication to any configured OpenID Connect compatible identity providers.
The AuthZ part of Fusillade is an ABAC PDP (Policy Decision Point) API leveraging the familiar syntax and reliable infrastructure of AWS IAM.

Together, these two subsystems provide an easy API for your application to answer the following questions:

How do I instruct the user to log in?
Who is the user performing this API request?
Is this user authorized to perform action A on resource R?
How do I delegate to the user an appropriately restricted ability to access cloud (IaaS) resources directly through IaaS (GCP, AWS) APIs?

To do this, your application should define an access control model consisting of the following:

A list of trusted OIDC-compatible identity providers
A naming schema for service actions (for example, GetWidget, CreateFolder, DeleteAppointment, UpdateDocument)
A naming schema for resources in the following format: arn:org-name:service-name:*:*:path/to/resource

A default policy assigned to new users, for example:

{
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "dss:CreateSubscription",
        "dss:UpdateSubscription",
        "dss:DeleteSubscription"
      ],
      "Resource": "arn:hca:dss:*:*:subscriptions/${user_id}/*"
    }
  ]
}

[WIP] GA4GH AAI Compatibility

Fusillade will provide support for GA4GH Passport claims using the OIDC userinfo endpoint. A user can sign into multiple different identities and they will be linked together as the same user. Server side applications can view this information using the userinfo endpoint.

See HumanCellAtlas#307 for current progress.

AWS Cloud Architecture

Cloud Directory Structure

Installing and configuring Fusillade

Setup Environment

pip install -r ./requirements-dev
brew install jq
brew install pandoc
brew install moreutils
brew install gettext
brew link --force gettext
brew install terraform
Setup AWS CLI with the correct profile, default region, and output format.
Local environment variables can be set in environment.local for convenience. If you use source environment and it will set environment variables from environment.local after environment variables have been set, if you choose to set them. If using multiple deployment with unique environment.local files, the environment.local file in the top directory of fusillade take precedence over environment.local in fusillade/deployments/
Populate FUS_ADMIN_EMAILS with a list of admins to assigned upon creating the Fusillade deployment. This is only used when Fusillade is first deployed to create the first users. Afterwards this variable has no effect. If more admins are required, then assign a user the admin role.
Deployment specific environment variables can be set in ./deployment/${FUS_DEPLOYMENT_STAGE}/environment.local per deployment for convenience.
Optionally Before deploying Fusillade you can modify the default policies and roles to suit your needs. The default_admin_role.json is policy attached to the fusillade_admin role created during deployment. The default_group_policy.json is assigned to all new group when they are created. The default_user_role.json is the role assigned to the group default_user which is created during deployment. All of these policies and role can be modified after deployment using the Fusillade API.

Open ID Connect (OIDC) Provider Setup

The OIDC provide handle the OIDC authentication process. Auth0 is an example of an OIDC provider.

Set OPENID_PROVIDER in environment. This is the domain for the auth provider.
Set oauth2_config in AWS Secrets Manager using make set_oauth2_config. oauth2_config contains the fields needed to proxy an OIDC provider. Populate this file with the OIDC providers you'd like to use to authenticate users. See oauth2_config.json for the expected format.

Set Secrets

Fusillade uses AWS Secret Store for its secrets. You can set secrets using ./scripts/set_secret.py. For example:

$ cat ./deployments/$(FUS_DEPLOYMENT_STAGE)/oauth2_config.json | ./scripts/set_secret.py --secret-name oauth2_config

The following secrets are use by Fusillade:

oauth2_config - see "OIDC Provider Setup" for more details.
test_service_accounts Optional - contains google service accounts to test users access and admin access. This only required for running tests See test_service_accounts.json for the expected format.

Set Parameter Stores

Upload parameter used in the lambdas to AWS SSM.

$ ./scripts/populate_lambda_ssm_parameters.py

Upload a file containing the environment variables used for a specific deployment to AWS SSM.

$ ./scripts/populate_deployment_environment.py example --file ./deployments/example/environment.local

Deploy Fusillade

Before running make deploy, populate your environment with the correct deployment variables from AWS SSM. You can run:

$ scripts/populate_deployment_environment.py example --print > environment.local

which will pull down the environment variables stored in dcp/fusillade/{FUS_DEPLOYMENT_STAGE}/deployment_environment in AWS SSM, and save it to enviroment.local. This environment will be used when you call:

$ make deploy

Deploy Infrastructure

Set FUS_TERRAFORM_BACKEND_BUCKET_TEMPLATE in your environment to an AWS S3 bucket to store your terraform state files. run make plan-infra to verify what changes need to be made. If you're ok with the changes run make deploy-infra.

Environment Variables

DEPLOYMENT - used to set the current deployment of Fusillade to target. This determines what deployment variables to source from environment.
GITHUB_TOKEN_PATH - Point to the location of a file in your local directory containing a Github token used for promoting Fusillade branches and publishing new version. If GITHUB_TOKEN_SECRET_NAME is also present, GITHUB_TOKEN_PATH will take precedence over GITHUB_TOKEN_SECRET_NAME.
GITHUB_TOKEN_SECRET_NAME - Point to the location of an AWS parameters key containing a Github token used for promoting Fusillade branches and publishing new version.

Using Fusillade as a Service

The following are created on deployment:

/role/fusillade_admin - contains a policy based on default_admin_role.json
/role/default_user - contains a policy based on default_user_role.json
/user/{FUS_ADMIN_EMAILS} - a user is created for each email in FUS_ADMIN_EMAILS and assigned /role/fusillade_admin.
/group/user_default - a group assigned to all users upon creation. It has the /role/default_user attached. Add new roles to this group to apply that role to all users.
/user/public - a user for evaluating policies without an authenticated principle. /user/public is apart of /group/user_default. Modify the roles attached to /group/user_default to modify what unauthenticated user can do.

Note: All of these resources can be modified using the Fusillade API after deployment.

Note: New fusillade_admins can be assigned using the Fusillade API and assigning the role of fusillade_admin to a user.

Users

A user can represent a service account, or a personal account. They can be explicitly created or created on demand when a user's permissions are first evaluated. A user is automatically added to /group/user_default when created. All other roles and groups must be added using the Fusillade API.

Roles

Roles contains policies that are used to determine what a user can do. A role can either be directly applied to a user or indirectly applied to a user by applying the role to a group the user is a member.

Groups

Groups are used to manage the roles attached to multiple users.

Policies

Policies can attached to a user, group, or role. The preferred method for attaching policies is to create a role with that policy then attach that role to a group and assign users to that group. This makes it easier to manage many users with fewer policies.

When the permissions of a user is evaluated, all policies attached to the user, the user's groups, and the user's roles are used.

Defining Policy

Uses AWS IAM Policy grammar to define your services permissions. For resource names use the same format as AWS Service NameSpace.

Special Fusillade Context Keys for Policies

In the same way AWS IAM provides [context keys available to all services](https://docs.aws.amazon .com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_policies_condition-keys.html#condition-keys-globally-available) , Fusillade provides context keys that can be used in your policies.

fus:groups - is a list of groups the current user belongs. This can be used to restrict permission based on the group association
fus:roles - is a list of roles the current user belongs. This can be used to restrict permission based on the role association
fus:user_email - is the email of the user. This can be used to restrict permission based on the users email.

Specifics For DCP

The Fusillade staging environment should be used for developing other DCP components. For components using the Fusillade staging environment to test your dev environment, append all roles and groups created with dev. For example For example DSS_ADMIN would be DSS_ADMIN_DEV. This is to prevent name collisions between dev and staging.

Note: The Fusillade managed group user_default and user public will be modified for both your components staging and dev environment.

Resource

For resource, set the partition to hca, set your service name to the name of your component, and set the account-id to the deployment stage. The field resourcetype can optionally be the name of a resource_type defined in fusillade. If resourcetype matches a resource_type defined in fusillade then a resource policy will be used to evaluate user access. All other fields can be used as needed or use * for wild cards. Resource names are case sensitive.

Examples

arn:hca:fusillade:region:dev:resourcetype
arn:hca:dss:region:staging:resourcetype/resource
arn:hca:query:region:integration:resourcetype/resource/qualifier

Resource ACL

A new resource_type is created by providing the name of the resource_type, and the actions that can be performed on it. Once a resource_type is created you can store resource_ids of that resource_type to apply ACLs.

A resource_policy refers to a policy associated with a resource_type and is used to define different access levels between principals and resource_ids. A principal may have only one level of access to a resource_id. All resource_ids use the same pool of resource policies for that particular resource_type. This mean that modifying a resource_policy, modifies it for all principals with that access level to a resource_id. New resource_policy can be defined for a resource_type after the resource_type has been created. Deleting a resource_policy removes access for all principals with that level of access between a resource_id. resource_policy can only define policies that use actions supported by that resource_type. Actions can be added and removed after a resource_type has been created.

The creator of a resource_id is automatically designated as the owner of the resource. The owner of a resource_id can add additional owners, and assign access levels to principals for that resource_id. A principal only has access to resource they are give access to, either directly or through group membership.

If a resource_type is deleted, all resource_policy and resource_ids associated with that type are deleted.

Service access control

To use Fusillade, your service must itself be authenticated and authorized. The access control model for this depends on how you're using Fusillade.

Library - Cooperative model

When using Fusillade as a library, your application's AWS IAM role is also your Fusillade access role. The library uses AWS Cloud Directory and AWS IAM using your application's IAM credentials. (TODO: add links for ACD/IAM IAM and show sample policy)

Service - Enforced model

When using Fusillade as a service, your application is itself subject to an IAM policy governing its ability to read and write permissions data. The Fusillade service administrator configures the Fusillade policy governing this in the service configuration.
