RBAC demo

RBAC demo with local environment.

The demo creates the following components:

An OIDC authorization server using a Keycloak docker container and initialized for demo purposes with a sample realm.
A sample feature store using feast init, later adapted to use the oidc authorization against the sample realm.
Three servers running the registry, online and offline stores.
A client application connected to the servers to run test code.

Run the sample notebooks to setup the environment:

01.1-startkeycloak to start a Keycloak container.
01.2-setup-keycloak.ipynb to configure Keycloak with all the needed resources for the next steps.
01.3-setup-feast.ipynb to create the sample Feast store and inject the authoprization settings
02-registry_server.ipynb to start the Registry server
03-online_server.ipynb to start the Online store server
04-offline_server.ipynb to start the Offline store server

Note: For MacOs users, you must set this environment variable before launching the notebook server:

OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY=YES

Once the environment is defined, we can use the client.ipynb notebook to verify how the behavior changes according to the configured user.

In particular, given the configured permissions:

Permission	Types	Name pattern	Actions	Roles
read_permission	ALL		DESCRIBE	reader
write_fresh_permission	FeatureView1	.*_fresh	WRITE_ONLINE	fresh_writer
offline_permission	FeatureView, OnDemandFeatureView, FeatureService		CRUD, WRITE_OFFLINE, QUERY_OFFLINE	batch_admin
admin_permission	ALL		ALL	store_admin

and the user roles defined in Keycloak:

We should expect the following behavior for each test section of the client notebook:

User	Basic validation	Historical	Materialization	Online	Stream push
reader	Ok	Denied	Denied	Denied	Denied
writer	Empty	Denied	Ok	Denied	Denied
batch_admin	No Entities and Permissions	Ok	Denied	Denied	Denied
admin	Ok	Ok	Ok	Ok	Ok
