Dear list, We are using an external Geofence-installation to handle authorization of requests to GeoServer. However, we are unable to create users that have admin rights to only certain workspaces: whenever a user is set as admin in Geofence, it gets full admin rights to GeoServer, regardless of any other rules set in Geofence or GeoServer. Users given limited admin rights (i.e. admin rights to some workspace) only in GeoServer web UI (and not Geofence) do not get any (admin) access.
A similar use case was mentioned in at least two messages https://sourceforge.net/p/geoserver/mailman/message/37125364 https://sourceforge.net/p/geoserver/mailman/message/37045161/ but with no replies. Should I interpret this so that no solution exists? Or that it is so obvious that no-one can be bothered to reply? We have a solution with a cluster of “worker GeoServers” and a “chief GeoServer” intended to be used only for administration and not accessible from the internet. Would it be possible to remove GeoFence from the chief and manage the admin users and workspaces from there? Or would that somehow corrupt the data directory which is common to all the GeoServer instances or something? Many thanks for any help, Samuli Neuvonen
