A run on the production server with throwaway tenants, a role, lists and a
domain, all removed, found three things the source reading had not:
- Something in a tenant has to be on a domain in that tenant (a list in a
tenant on an unassigned domain is invalidForeignKey), while something in
no tenant may be on a tenant's domain. The account panel's tenant choice
offered every tenant; it offers only the domain's now, and a new account
starts in the tenant of the domain it is made on. The domain list reads
memberTenantId for it.
- A domain created in a tenant puts its DKIM keys there too, and they keep
the tenant from being deleted. They are counted with the rest, so Delete
is not offered while any remain.
- Stalwart lets a domain leave a tenant while the tenant still has accounts
on it, stranding them. The panel asks first and refuses while any are
there.
The refusal to delete a tenant that holds anything was confirmed, as were
tenant create, quota pointers, logo and rename. The mock follows the domain
rule, filters DKIM keys by tenant, and KNOWN-ISSUES records the run.
The non-Enterprise notice is now just "Tenants are a Stalwart Enterprise
feature." Two sentences were reworded and one plural added, in all nine
catalogues, and the old sentences are gone.
A tenant is a separate organisation on one server: its own people,
domains and limits, and an administrator who manages only what is in it.
It gets a section under Access, gated by sysTenantQuery and sysTenantGet,
with a notice on a server that does not report Enterprise, where anyone
inside a tenant is held to an ordinary user's permissions.
The panel edits the tenant's name, logo, role and limits. The logo is an
https address, drawn through the image proxy the strict image policy
requires, or an image data URL. Limits change one quotas/<name> pointer
each, so the four ihasmail does not offer keep their values, and an empty
field is no limit. The role is the most anyone inside can be allowed.
Stalwart keeps no list on a tenant -- each account, group, domain, list and
role names its own -- so what a tenant holds is counted with memberTenantId
queries and shown against its limits. Domains are added and taken out from
the tenant's panel, one memberTenantId change each; only a domain in no
tenant can be added, and its accounts stay where they are. Delete is offered
once every count reads zero.
A tenant does nothing until someone administers it, so the account panel
gains a Tenant choice for an administrator who can read tenants: an
Administrator inside a tenant administers that tenant. Nobody moves their
own account.
The mock has a tenant holding a domain and an administrator, a spare domain
to assign, memberTenantId filters on every query, and Stalwart's rule that
only an administrator outside every tenant may move things into one. A test
of taking a domain back out found that the mock's pointer handling dropped a
top-level null instead of storing it, so nothing had ever been cleared that
way; it stores null now, as the server reads it back.
Nothing about tenants has been written on a live server: production has
none. KNOWN-ISSUES says what was read from source.
Thirty-nine new strings and one plural, in all nine catalogues.
A throwaway role on the production server confirmed the create shape,
one-pointer changes to permissions, bases and name together, the grant
refusal, and the in-use refusal when another role builds on it. It also
showed that a permission name Stalwart does not know fails the whole
update -- which is how jmapEmailSet, carried by the mock since Accounts
was built, turned out not to exist. The mock uses jmapEmailUpdate and now
refuses unknown names against the 0.16.22 snapshot.
Some permissions an administrator holds are never listed by /api/account
(sysLogCreate was granted without complaint), so the picker locks their
Allow; KNOWN-ISSUES says so.
A role is a named set of permissions given to accounts, groups and
tenants. It gets its own section under a new Access heading: every role
listed with the permissions it grants once its bases are followed, and a
panel to create, edit and delete one.
A role builds on others and has everything they grant; a denial anywhere in
the tree wins, which is how Stalwart resolves it (permissions.rs unions
enabled and disabled across the tree, then subtracts). The picker is
Stalwart's own list of permissions, under its headings, searchable and
filterable to what is granted or set here. Each permission is not set,
allowed or denied, and one that is inherited says which role it comes from.
Only permissions the viewer holds can be allowed, because Stalwart refuses
the rest, and a role carrying anything the viewer lacks opens read-only with
no delete, because Stalwart checks a grant but not a delete. Saving sends a
pointer for each permission and base role that changed.
The roles Stalwart hands out by default, read from x:Authentication, say so
before they are changed and cannot be deleted here; a role still in use is
kept by the server, and the refusal names what uses it.
The permission list is Stalwart's schema. A new route, GET
/api/admin/permissions, fetches /api/schema as the signed-in account and
returns only names and labels, behind the same two gates as the registry
methods and held in memory for an hour. Its labels are English only, so
every one of the 661 has a translation in each of the eight other
languages, in its own file keyed by permission name and loaded only when
Roles opens. A permission a later Stalwart adds shows its English label. A
test holds every language to the 0.16.22 snapshot: nothing missing, nothing
stale.
The mock answers x:Role/set with the grant check, loops and in-use
refusals, reads the defaults from x:Authentication, and serves the schema
gzipped as the real one is.
Fifty-two new strings and two plurals in all nine catalogues, and 661
permission labels with 59 headings in each of the eight translations.
A mailing list is an address that passes mail on to everyone on it. To
Stalwart it is its own object, x:MailingList, behind sysMailingList*, so
it gets its own section under Directory after Groups: search, fifty to a
page with each list's recipient count, and a panel to create, edit and
delete one.
Recipients are a property of the list, so unlike a group's members they
save with the rest of the panel. What Save sends for them is only what was
added and removed, one recipients/<address> pointer each -- the patch the
live server accepted -- so a recipient added elsewhere while the panel was
open is not taken out. They can be pasted several at a time, from a
spreadsheet column, a comma-separated line or Name <address>; anything with
an @ that is not an address stays in the box with a note. Past a dozen, a
filter narrows them.
That is all a list is in Stalwart -- no owners, moderation or posting
rules -- so that is all the panel offers.
The mock answers x:MailingList with two lists, the recipient set's live
shape, and the refusals a wrong address, a clash with an account and a
missing permission get.
Twenty-five new strings and one plural, in all nine catalogues.
A group is a shared address and mailbox and the people who share it. To
Stalwart it is an x:Account of type Group, behind the same sysAccount*
permissions as a person, so it sits under Directory beside Accounts:
search, a page of fifty with each group's member count, and a panel to
create, edit and delete one.
Membership lives on the member, not the group. Members are the users whose
memberGroupIds name it, and adding or removing one is a single
memberGroupIds/<group> pointer on that user's account -- true or null --
which leaves their other groups alone. Changes apply straight away rather
than riding on Save, so the list is always what the server has. Nobody can
add or remove themselves, the same line the account panel draws at one's
own role.
A group's role is Default or Custom, not a person's User or Admin, and it
is what the group may do: in 0.16 a user's permissions come from their own
roles only, and a group gives its members what is shared with it. Only
roles the viewer could grant are offered.
Delete takes the members out first and then deletes the group, the order
a domain's keys go before the domain, because the registry keeps anything
another object names. A role that cannot change the members' accounts is
not offered a delete it could only half finish.
The mock's groups had a person's roles, accepted a memberGroupIds filter
without applying it, and answered a linked delete with the wrong shape;
all three follow the source now, and it refuses nested groups and
memberships of things that are not groups.
Nothing about groups has been run against a live server yet: production
has none, and every operation is a write. KNOWN-ISSUES says what was read
from source.
Thirty-five new strings, two of them plurals, in all nine catalogues.
Administration used to open on its first section. It opens on a grid of
cards now: users, domains, messages waiting in the delivery queue, server
memory, and the last 24 hours' received and sent. Each card is there only
when the role holds what its number needs -- a count is a query, the
metric history a query and a get -- so a helpdesk role that reads accounts
and domains sees those two cards and nothing about the server.
What the cards count is whatever Stalwart answers for the signed-in
account, which scopes a tenant administrator's accounts, domains and queue
to the tenancy. The metric history has no tenant in it, and Stalwart's
Tenant Administrator role does not hold it, so a tenant's dashboard is
users, domains and pending.
The history is Enterprise-only and switched off by default. A server that
refuses it leaves those cards off; one that records nothing says so rather
than showing zeroes. Received and sent add up the queue counters Stalwart's
own dashboard uses, filtered with the comparison names the live server
accepts (a bare timestamp is unsupportedFilter). The column count follows
the number of cards so rows stay even, and falls back by the grid's own
width rather than the window's.
The server's test for whether an account is offered Administration matches
the client's again, now that a count is enough. The mock answers the queue
and an hourly history ending in the current hour; MOCK_METRICS=off refuses
the history as Community does, a tenant administrator gets the queue, and
helpdesk reads domains, as the demo's does.
ROADMAP and FEATURES said reporting and queues were out of scope; they say
the dashboard reads a handful of numbers and that managing queues, logs
and settings stays out. KNOWN-ISSUES records what was settled on the live
server and what was only read from source.
Fourteen new strings, in all nine catalogues.
Stalwart explains a refused change in English, and several of its words
reached the page as they were: "Invalid domain name" for a reserved TLD,
"Invalid email address" for a catch-all, a grant refusal, and ihasmail's own
proxy messages. Every registry error type now has its own message, and a
value one of the registry's string validators refused is recognised by the
validator's wording and explained again. A domain clash or a missing domain
is worded for a domain rather than an account.
The one exception is kept on purpose: a password policy's reason follows a
translated sentence, because the rule is the server's and dropping it would
leave no way to find out why.
The mock now refuses a reserved TLD and a catch-all without a domain the way
the live server did. KNOWN-ISSUES records the fix, and that the last two live
cases -- an administrator-set password and the outranking guard -- held.
15 new strings in all nine catalogues, 3 retired; strings falling back to
English stay at 16.
The Accounts list sent x:Account/query with {"type": "User"}, and a live
0.16 server refuses it: "unsupportedFilter - type". The registry keys a
filter by the property's name on the object, which for the discriminator is
@type, so the whole list failed to load. {"@type": "User"} is accepted.
The mock took the wrong name without complaint, which is how it shipped. It
now refuses any filter name the real server does not index for that object,
answering the way Stalwart does.
A role that can read domains now finds a Domains section beside Accounts:
list and search with each domain's account count and whether its DNS, DKIM
and certificate are managed automatically; add a domain; edit its
description, other names, catch-all address and plus addressing; copy its
DNS records one at a time or as a zone file; see its DKIM keys and their
stage; and remove it once no accounts use it.
The records come from the zone file Stalwart computes per domain. A long
DKIM record, which the BIND serialiser splits into quoted chunks, is joined
back into the single value a DNS provider's form wants.
Removing a domain takes its DKIM keys first, in the same request, because the
server will not remove a domain its keys still name. Removal is not offered
while accounts use the domain, or when the role cannot remove the keys.
The Administration nav is now built from the sections the role can read, and
the menu appears when there is at least one. The mock gains domains, DKIM
keys and zone files.
61 new strings, translated in all nine catalogues; strings falling back to
English stay at 16.
An account whose Stalwart role manages accounts now finds Administration in
the account menu. It lists, searches, creates and edits accounts -- display
name, other addresses, role, storage limit -- sets a new password, and
deletes, each offered only when the role holds the matching permission.
The server keeps the permissions list from GET /api/account, which it
already called for the edition and threw the rest away. Everything else is
JMAP x:Account, x:Domain and x:Role calls through the existing /api/jmap
proxy, so nothing new is stored and Stalwart decides every call.
Stalwart checks a grant against the caller's permissions but not a password
change or a delete, so an account that outranks the viewer is shown
read-only. Your own password is changed in Settings, which re-seals the
session; changing it here would strand it.
The mock server gains a directory behind the same permission names, with
MOCK_ROLE choosing admin, tenant-admin, helpdesk or user.
68 new strings, translated in all nine catalogues; strings falling back to
English stay at 16.
