This sets the folder permissions for a user when adding them to a
service. If a user is being added to a service after accepting an
invite, we need to account for the possibility that the folders we are
trying to add them to have been deleted before they accepted the invite.
If the new folder has a parent folder, it inherits user permissions
from its parent. Else if the new folder is at root level, all users
will have a permission to view it.
When triggered by an admin request `dao_remove_user_from_service`
raised an IntegrityError since the user_to_service delete query was
issued before the folder permissions one, violating the foreign key
constraint on the folder permissions table.
For some reason this isn't caught by the tests in test_services_dao
that check that folder permissions are removed properly.
If we had organisations for GDS and Cabinet Office, then we’d always
want someone whose email address ends in `@cabinet-office.gov.uk` to
match to `cabinet-office.gov.uk` before matching to
`digital.cabinet-office.gov.uk`.
Sorting the list by shortest first addresses this.
Currently we have
- a thing in the database called an ‘organisation’ which we don’t use
- the idea of an organisation which we derive from the user’s email
address and is used to set the default branding for their service and
determine whether they’ve signed the MOU
We should make these two things into one thing, by storing everything
we know about an organisation against that organisation in the database.
This will be much less laborious than storing it in a YAML file that
needs a deploy every time it’s updated.
An organisation can now have:
- domains which we can use to automatically associate services with it
(eg anyone whose email address ends in `dwp.gsi.gov.uk` gets services
they create associated to the DWP organisation)
- default letter branding for any new services
- default email branding for any new services
code inspired by the delete notification code, but with some clean up
since we don't deal with different types etc, and only need to run the
query for services with inbound numbers
also, update tests.app.db.create_inbound_sms to create inbound numbers
and assign them to services to ensure the test db is always accurate
and reflects real world usage
Updated the endpoint for `.set_permissions` to update a user's folder
permissions as well as permissions for a service. User folder
permissions are optional for now, since Admin is not currently passing
this data through.
Changed the user_to_service mapping table into a model called
ServiceUser. When looking at users who have permission for a folder
we are only interested in users for a particular service, not all users,
so we can use the ServiceUser model to access folder permissions.
Added a user_folder_permissions table which contains the service_id,
user_id and template_folder_id. There are links between
user_folder_permissions and TemplateFolder, and between
user_folder_permissions and ServiceUser.
provider switching is a process that can happen as often as we like
without disrupting the flow of the system - however, there are some
reasons why we might not want to switch. One problem we've seen is
when a provider is having an issue, we might switch away from them
manually only for the app to automatically switch back to them again
and again.
Long term we'd like to have a system better suited for sharing the load
equally between our two sms providers, but short term, by increasing
the threshold for switching from 10% (of messages sent are slow) to
20%, we hope to make switching happen less often.
A notification is considered slow if it was sent in the last ten
minutes, on the current provider, and is either
* still in sending or pending after 4 minutes
* in delivered, but took at least 4 minutes to send
Currently we switch if:
* status = delivered and updated_at - sent_at > threshold
* status = sending and now - sent_at > threshold
firetext can leave notifications in the pending state, which is
equivalent to sending in terms of how we should handle it, so this
commit changes the second case to allow pending as well as sending.
when creating a service, the api accepts a `service_domain` field that
it uses to populate the letter branding - if the service domain is
known to match an existing letter branding option, use that
automatically. However, the admin currently doesn't know about this
field yet so doesn't pass anything through - the api erroneously
searches the DB for letter branding with a domain of None - which they
currently all have.
This meant that when services were created, their letter branding was
set to the most recent row in the DB (that matched None).
When we get a callback from SES, we identify the notification by the
SES reference that we set on the notification after sending. When we
wrote the log message, we assumed that we'd always have a notification
for every callback, so if one couldn't be found we would raise an error
log. This isn't the case for a few reasons:
* We might receive a callback before the sender worker has persisted
the reference to the database.
* We might have deleted the notification, especially if the service has
a short data retention period
* We sometimes receive callbacks for references that we have no record
of whatsoever (this is quite alarming but we have no way of knowing
why this happens)
The error logs were happening pretty frequently, and we don't have a
real way to solve them at the moment, so lets cut down on noise and
downgrade them to info level for now.
Step 1 of 2 of turning on folders for all services.
We think it’s a feature which will be useful for the majority of
services, and we think we’ve done enough research to know that it’s
mature enough to release to all services.
However, until we can create a letter without a logo, we will still default to hm-government, because the dvla_organisation is set on the service.
This does simplify the code.
Also removed the inserts to letter_branding in the data migration file, because we can deploy this before the rest of the work is finished. But we will need to do it later.
Currently, admin app requests service statistics (with notification
counts grouped by status) and template statistics (with counts by
template) in order to display the service dashboard.
Service statistics are gathered from FactNotificationStatus table
(counts for the last 7 days) combined with Notification (counts for
today).
Template statistics are currently gathered from redis cache, which
contains a separate counter per template per day. It's hard for us
to maintain consistency between redis and DB counts. Currently it
doesn't update the count for cancelled letters, counter resets in
the middle of the day might produce a wrong result for the rest of
the week and cleared redis cache can't be repopulated for services
with low data retention periods).
Since FactNotificationStatus already contains separate counts for
each template_id we can use the existing logic with some additional
filters to get separate counts for each template and status combination,
which would allow us to populate the service dashboard page from one
query response.
a query for notifications was filtering on FtNotificationStatus - we
aren't joining to that table in the query, so sqlalchemy added a cross
join between ft_notification_status (3.7k rows) and Notifications (3.9m
rows), resulting in a 1.3 trillion row materialised table. This query
took 17 hours and pending.
Also, remove orders from querys other than the outer one, since we're
grouping anyway.
Flask-SQLAlchemy paginate function issues a separate query to get
the total count of rows for a given filter. This query (with
filters used by the API integration Message log page) is slow for
services with large number of notifications.
Since Message log page doesn't actually allow users to paginate
through the response (it only shows the last 50 messages) we can
use limit instead of paginate, which requires passing in another
flag from admin to the dao method.
`count` flag has been added to `paginate` in March 2018, however
there was no release of flask-sqlalchemy since then, so we need
to pull the dev version of the package from Github.
