Description

  • We don't perform any validation while configuring a new role on mathesar
  • So if we have created a login role 'bob' with password 'bobisgreat' it can be configured in mathesar with any random password e.g. 'bob_bob' because there is no validation
  • This can be a problem when an admin grants a bunch of privileges to 'bob' and assigns a mathesar user to connect using bob, only to find out that the mathesar user cannot access anything because the password is wrong.
  • The role cannot be dropped easily because other objects might depend on it
  • Also there is no way to reset the password for the role 'bob'.

Expected behavior

Here are a few approaches we might want to take:

  • Configure the new role automatically in mathesar once it is created
  • Provide a flow for resetting the password for a created role in mathesar
