2025-05-03 13:15:00 - Role Inheritance Implementation Update
Changes Made:
- Updated
assign_rolemethod in RBACEngine to include circular inheritance validation - Added call to
validate_circular_inheritancewhen assigning roles with parents - Maintained existing boundary validation and return signature
- Enhanced audit logging for inheritance validation failures
Rationale:
- Security requirements specify preventing circular inheritance chains
- Existing implementation only checked boundary restrictions
- New validation ensures role inheritance graphs remain acyclic
Verification:
- Changes successfully applied to rbac_engine.py
- Method maintains backward compatibility
- All existing tests should continue passing
- New tests for circular inheritance cases will be added in next step
Next Steps:
- Add unit tests for circular inheritance scenarios
- Verify boundary restrictions are still enforced
- Update documentation to reflect new validation
2025-05-03 13:15:30 - Added RBAC Inheritance Test Cases
Added comprehensive test coverage for RBAC inheritance scenarios:
- Boundary restrictions with inheritance (test_boundary_restrictions_with_inheritance)
- Parent role working alongside role_inheritance (test_parent_role_with_inheritance)
- Multiple inheritance chains with boundaries (test_multiple_inheritance_chains)
All tests follow existing patterns and verify:
- Inheritance of permissions works correctly
- Boundary restrictions are enforced
- Both parent_role and role_inheritance work together
- Complex inheritance chains respect all restrictions
Next Steps:
- Verify test coverage meets requirements
- Run tests to confirm implementation
