Subject: Is priv-noaccess needed?
Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2022 14:32:05 -0600 [thread overview]

User manager and IPMI maintainers (and please forward to additional
interested parties):
We are trying to understand how the NoAccess (priv-noaccess) role is
used in OpenBMC. See the discussion below, the gerrit review, and the
IPMI questions.
What are the use cases? What is this role used for? If we need this
role, let's understand why. Otherwise, can we deprecate this role and
remove it?

DISCUSSION:
Does the project have any NoAccess (priv-noaccess) users?
Is noaccess needed to implement IPMI Callback users?
Note that we prefer to disable ipmi users, not change their role.
Can ipmitool be used to create a callback user? If so, what role does
phosphor-user-manager use for that user?
Is the IPMI callback role deprecated? Can we remove it from OpenBMC?
Is callback needed to implement trusted system interfaces and
sessionless interfaces IPMB?
