Description

The authorization rules for running a report against selected teams validate the selection by comparing the number of teams the caller has a qualifying role on to the number of teams selected. An empty selection satisfied that comparison with nothing to validate, so it passed regardless of the caller's roles.

This treats an empty team selection the same as an omitted one — clients send both, and they mean the same thing — so it is evaluated by the rules that require a qualifying role. The rules that compare counts now also require a selection, so an empty list can no longer satisfy them.

Note that the web UI always sends an empty list rather than omitting the field, so the two spellings had to be made equivalent rather than rejecting the empty one; that path is covered by the added tests.

Checklist for submitter

  • Changes file added for user-visible changes in changes/.

Testing

  • Added/updated automated tests — the policy tests now cover an explicitly empty team selection alongside the existing omitted-selection cases, for global and team-scoped reports, asserting that it behaves identically to omitting the field for every role.
  • QA'd all new/changed functionality manually — verified on a local instance that running a saved global report with an empty team selection is authorized for a team maintainer (the UI path) and rejected for a team GitOps user, and that naming a team the caller has no role on is still rejected.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Corrected authorization for live queries against global reports when no teams are selected.
    • Empty team selections now require global permissions, matching the behavior for omitted team targets.
    • Prevented empty team lists from being incorrectly treated as valid team matches.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for empty team selections across global, observer, and team-scoped access scenarios.

The rules that check a report run against the caller's team roles
compared the number of matching teams to the number selected, which an
empty selection satisfied with nothing to check. Treat an empty
selection the same as an omitted one so it is validated by the rules
that require a qualifying role, and require a selection where the
counts are compared.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

Authorization now treats omitted and explicitly empty team selections as no-target queries. Targeted-query rules require non-empty team lists before validating team matches or team roles. Tests cover global, team-scoped, and observer-enabled queries across roleless, observer, technician, maintainer, administrator, and GitOps roles.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to b3d61

The change makes empty and omitted team selections follow the same authorization rules; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Rename the title to state that empty team selections are handled like omitted selections and require the appropriate global permission.

Exercise the explicit empty fixture for the global observer role.

globalObserverQueryEmptyTeamTargets is not tested with test.UserObserver; that group only covers the omitted-target fixture. Add an allow case for the explicit empty list to verify null and []uint{} remain equivalent for global observer authorization.

- Fixed authorization for running a live query against a global report so that an empty team selection requires global permission instead of being treated as an already-validated target list.

Align the change note with the authorization behavior.

If “global permission” means a global role, this statement is incorrect. Team maintainers, technicians, and administrators can run a global query with an empty selection when they can run the equivalent no-target query. State that empty selections use the same authorization as omitted selections.
