📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The LDIF template adds READ and WRITE scope mappings for the adminUIEssential resource. READ access covers Admin UI properties, configuration, logging, security, license, and FIDO2 metrics. WRITE access covers logging and properties.

Changes

Admin UI scope mapping

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Add essential Admin UI scope entries flex-linux-setup/flex_linux_setup/templates/adminUIResourceScopesMapping.ldif	Adds READ mappings for essential Admin UI scopes and WRITE mappings for logging and properties scopes.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 06d4f

This change adds essential Admin UI read and write scopes, but the required delete authorization remains unconfirmed. Roles relying only on this policy may be unable to complete Admin UI deletion actions, so this should be resolved before merge.

Explanation

The change adds READ and WRITE mappings for adminUIEssential, which supports the Admin UI access-control objective. It does not provide the required DELETE action, the jansAdminUIRole claim validation for the manager role, or evidence that the Admin UI works with only the EssentialAdminUIScopes policy.

Resolution

Add or update the policy for EssentialAdminUIScopes to permit read, write, and delete actions. Include the required jansAdminUIRole claim validation and permit the manager role. Verify that the Admin UI operates without errors when this is the only policy assigned.

- Around line 657-658: Add a separate DELETE access mapping for jansResource
adminUIEssential in the adminUIResourceScopesMapping template, including the
intended delete scopes, while preserving the existing READ and WRITE mappings so
EssentialAdminUIScopes receives delete authorization after installation.

It appears access control check is not put on settings menu. The menu appears even with no setting policy.
