1. Role-Based Access Control for AI Dashboards Using Auth0

    Python

    Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is a security mechanism to restrict system access to authorized users. In cloud applications, it typically involves defining roles with specific permissions and then assigning those roles to users or groups.

    To implement RBAC for AI dashboards with Auth0 as the identity provider, we would typically:

    1. Define roles within Auth0 (e.g., Admin, Editor, Viewer).
    2. Use Auth0's API to assign roles to users or groups.
    3. Retrieve role information in the AI dashboard application.
    4. Enforce role-based access controls in the AI dashboard based on the user's role.

    Given that Pulumi does not directly interact with Auth0's role definitions or assignment APIs, we'll focus on setting up the infrastructure, such as the AI dashboard (which could be a web application hosted in a cloud environment), and configuring Auth0 as a third-party identity provider for authentication.

    To demonstrate this, let's create a Python Pulumi program that automates the provisioning of an AWS infrastructure to host a simple web application (depicted as an AI Dashboard) with an Auth0 authentication gateway.

    Please note the actual integration of Auth0 to manage RBAC within the dashboard application requires additional application-level coding that interacts with Auth0's APIs or SDK. Below is the infrastructure setup using Pulumi:

    import pulumi import pulumi_aws as aws # Create an S3 bucket to host the web application (AI Dashboard). dashboard_bucket = aws.s3.Bucket('dashboardBucket', website=aws.s3.BucketWebsiteArgs( index_document='index.html', ) ) # Upload the web application to the bucket. index_page = aws.s3.BucketObject('indexPage', bucket=dashboard_bucket.id, key='index.html', content='<html><body><h1>Hello, AI Dashboard!</h1></body></html>', content_type='text/html', ) # Provision an AWS Cognito User Pool to integrate with Auth0. user_pool = aws.cognito.UserPool('userPool', auto_verified_attributes=['email'] ) # The identity pool which allows access from the AI dashboard. identity_pool = aws.cognito.IdentityPool('identityPool', allow_unauthenticated_identities=False, cognito_identity_providers=[aws.cognito.IdentityPoolCognitoIdentityProviderArgs( client_id=user_pool.id, provider_name=f'cognito-idp.{aws.get_region().name}.amazonaws.com/{user_pool.id}', )] ) # Output the hosted AI Dashboard URL. pulumi.export('dashboard_url', pulumi.Output.concat('http://', dashboard_bucket.website_endpoint)) # This S3 bucket could be used to store logs or additional data for the AI Dashboard. # Create a bucket to store the logs. logs_bucket = aws.s3.Bucket('logsBucket') # It is important to note that the actual configuration and management of Auth0 roles and permissions # is done through Auth0's dashboard or APIs. This is a separate step and is not within Pulumi's scope. # The above setup facilitates the integration between the hosted AI dashboard application # and the Auth0 authentication mechanism. # Refer to Auth0's official documentation on how to create roles and assign them to users: # https://auth0.com/docs/authorization/rbac/roles-permissions # Additionally, you must ensure your AI Dashboard application is designed to: # - Authenticate users via Auth0. # - Retrieve the Auth0 user's roles. # - Implement authorization checks based on the roles to control access to different parts of the application.

    This program sets up an AWS infrastructure for a web application. Here's what each part does:

    • S3 Buckets: We create an S3 bucket to store the web application's files and optionally another bucket for logs.

    • Cognito User Pool: Amazon Cognito is configured to manage user identities. This user pool will interface with Auth0.

    • Identity Pool: This identity pool is meant for authorized users. We set it up with Cognito to restrict unauthenticated access.

    • Bucket Object: It is a placeholder HTML page to simulate the application. In reality, you would deploy your actual application build artifacts here.

    Remember, to protect and manage your application with Auth0, you'll need to:

    • Create and manage roles and permissions in Auth0.
    • Code the application to use Auth0 for authentication, obtain the roles of authenticated users, and enforce access control accordingly.

    Please review Auth0's RBAC documentation and implement the recommended steps in conjunction with the infrastructure established by the Pulumi program.
