Description

If a guest created a page, they aren't able to sync their page edits in realtime. Hence now, we've removed the check of membership from the live server and we're letting the app subscribing to our server handle it now.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Removed unnecessary logic related to fetching user project membership for project pages, streamlining the authentication process.
    • Adjusted error message formatting for incomplete query parameters.
  • Chores
    • Removed methods for fetching user workspace and project membership, simplifying the user service.
    • Updated the authentication process by eliminating unnecessary parameters in the function signature.

Walkthrough

The changes in this pull request focus on the handleAuthentication function within live/src/core/lib/authentication.ts. The primary modification involves the removal of logic that fetches the current user's project membership information specifically for the documentType "project_page". This includes eliminating the call to userService.getUserProjectMembership, its associated error handling, and the logic for setting the connection to read-only based on the user's project role. The function now directly returns user information for other document types without additional checks.

Changes

File Path Change Summary
live/src/core/lib/authentication.ts Removed logic for fetching user project membership for "project_page"; adjusted error message formatting.
live/src/services/user.service.ts Removed methods getUserWorkspaceMembership and getUserProjectMembership; modified import to retain only IUser.
live/src/ce/lib/authentication.ts Deleted type definition TArgs and the authenticateUser function.
live/src/core/hocuspocus-server.ts Updated onAuthenticate function signature and adjusted handleAuthentication call to remove unnecessary parameters.

🐇 In the code where logic once thrived,
A project check has now been deprived.
With roles and rights, we dance and play,
Authentication leads the way!
Hopping through changes, swift and bright,
Our code is lighter, ready for flight! 🌟

44-46: Consider enhancing error message for incomplete query parameters.

While the error message formatting has been adjusted, this could be an opportunity to improve error handling and provide more specific information.

Consider modifying the error message to include which specific parameter is missing:

throw Error(
  `Authentication failed: Incomplete query params. Missing ${!workspaceSlug ? 'workspaceSlug' : 'projectId'}.`
);

This change would make debugging easier by pinpointing exactly which parameter is missing.

Line range hint 1-58: Changes align with PR objectives but require careful consideration.

The removal of project membership validation for "project_page" document type aligns with the PR objectives, allowing guests to sync their edits without role validation constraints. However, this change requires careful consideration of its implications.

  1. Security Implications:
    The removal of role validation on the live server might have security implications. Ensure that proper access controls are implemented in the web application to prevent unauthorized access to project pages.

  2. Error Handling:
    The error handling for "project_page" document type is now less specific. Consider improving it to provide more informative error messages.

  3. Functionality Verification:
    Verify that the removal of project membership validation doesn't negatively impact the functionality of project pages.

Line range hint 1-31: Overall changes look good and align with PR objective.

The modifications to this file are focused and consistent with the goal of removing role validation from the live server. The UserService class retains its core functionality for fetching the current user's information, while removing the specific methods related to project and workspace membership validation.

To ensure a smooth transition:

  1. Verify that the removal of getUserWorkspaceMembership and getUserProjectMembership methods doesn't break any existing functionality in other parts of the application.
  2. Update any documentation or comments that might reference these removed methods.
  3. Consider adding a comment explaining why these methods were removed, referencing the PR or issue number for future context.

2-2: LGTM: Import statement updated correctly.

The import statement has been appropriately updated to remove the unused IProjectMember type. This change aligns with the removal of methods that previously used this type and helps maintain clean imports.


Line range hint 1-31: Removal of membership validation methods aligns with PR objective.

The removal of getUserWorkspaceMembership and getUserProjectMembership methods is in line with the PR objective to remove role validation from the live server. This change should allow guests to sync their page edits without being hindered by role validation constraints.

To ensure this change doesn't break existing functionality, let's verify that these methods are not being used elsewhere in the codebase:

✅ Verification successful

To ensure that the removed methods are not used elsewhere in the codebase, please run the following verification scripts:

35-35: LGTM! Minor style improvement.

The addition of a trailing comma after the debounce option is a good practice. It makes future additions to the configuration object easier and results in cleaner diffs when changes are made.

Consider adding trailing commas to other object literals in the file for consistency, if they don't already have them.


Line range hint 1-37: Summary: Authentication process simplified, aligning with PR objectives.

The changes in this file successfully remove the role validation from the live server by simplifying the onAuthenticate function and handleAuthentication call. This aligns well with the PR objective of allowing guests to sync their page edits without being hindered by role validation constraints.

However, given the security-sensitive nature of these changes:

  1. Ensure that all suggested verification steps are completed.
  2. Conduct a thorough security review to confirm that removing this validation doesn't introduce any vulnerabilities.
  3. Update any relevant documentation to reflect these changes in the authentication process.

Consider implementing compensating controls in the web application to ensure that proper access controls are still in place, even though the live server is no longer performing role validation.

28-31: LGTM! Simplified handleAuthentication call.

The removal of connection and params arguments from the handleAuthentication function call is consistent with the changes to the onAuthenticate function signature. This further simplifies the authentication process by only passing the essential cookie and token information.

To ensure that the handleAuthentication function in the imported module has been updated to match this new signature, please run the following verification script:

#!/bin/bash
# Description: Check the signature of the handleAuthentication function in the authentication module

# Test: Display the handleAuthentication function signature
ast-grep --lang typescript --pattern $'export const handleAuthentication = ({ $_ }) => {
  $$$
}' src/core/lib/authentication.ts

Verify that the displayed function signature matches the new call signature (i.e., it only expects cookie and token parameters).


15-20: LGTM! Simplified authentication signature.

The removal of requestParameters and connection from the onAuthenticate function signature aligns with the PR objective of removing role validation from the live server. This change simplifies the authentication process and potentially reduces the attack surface.

To ensure this change doesn't inadvertently break any existing functionality or security measures, please run the following verification script:

If the script returns any results, please review those occurrences to ensure they're not critical to the authentication process.
