Assessment

This issue has not been assessed yet.

Description

Just noticed this really bad message on project access when the role comes from the silo.

https://github.com/oxidecomputer/console/blob/ab76183153337c509bcde7007184cc655c43df71/app/pages/project/access/ProjectAccessPage.tsx#L165-L170

Image

It's wrong in multiple ways:

  • The current user may well be a silo admin who does in fact have permission to change that role
  • Adding a project role is possible even if the user is only a project admin and not a silo admin
    Image

The reason it's disabled is because conceptually, in order to modify that actor's role on the project, you have to add a new role assignment on the project, not modify the existing one on the silo. We could do a lot better in this UI to make that clear.
