Description

Workspace drafts are private to their creator. list, partial_update and create_draft_to_issue already scope the lookup to created_by=request.user, but two sibling actions in WorkspaceDraftIssueViewSet did not:

  • retrieve only allowed ROLE.ADMIN, and its creator shortcut checked the Issue model instead of DraftIssue, so it never matched. A workspace member got 403 when opening their own draft.
  • destroy looked the draft up by workspace + pk only, so a workspace admin could delete another user's private draft that they cannot list or open.

Both actions now allow ADMIN and MEMBER and scope the lookup to the requesting user's own drafts, returning 404 otherwise.

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • Feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Improvement (change that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
  • Code refactoring
  • Performance improvements
  • Documentation update

Screenshots and Media (if applicable)

N/A (backend/API change)

Test Scenarios

Added apps/api/plane/tests/contract/app/test_workspace_draft_retrieve_destroy_scope_app.py:

  • Member can retrieve own draft (was 403, now 200)
  • Member gets 404 for another user's draft
  • Admin can retrieve own draft
  • Admin cannot delete another user's draft (was 204, now 404, draft kept)
  • Member can delete own draft
  • Member cannot delete another user's draft

Existing test_draft_to_issue_owner_scope_app.py still passes.

Fixes #10002

Drafts are private to their creator. list, partial_update and
create_draft_to_issue already scope the lookup to created_by=request.user,
but two sibling actions did not:

- retrieve only allowed ROLE.ADMIN, and its creator shortcut checked the
  Issue model instead of DraftIssue, so it never matched. A workspace
  member got 403 when opening their own draft.
- destroy looked the draft up by workspace + pk only, so a workspace
  admin could delete another user's private draft that they cannot even
  list or open.

Both actions now allow ADMIN and MEMBER and scope the lookup to the
requesting user's own drafts, returning 404 otherwise.

Adds contract tests covering both cases plus positive controls.

📝 Walkthrough

Workspace draft retrieval and deletion now allow workspace admins and members. Both actions restrict draft lookup to the requester. Contract tests cover access and ownership outcomes.

Changes: Workspace draft ownership

Layer / File(s) Summary
Role access, owner-scoped actions, and contract tests
apps/api/plane/app/views/workspace/draft.py, apps/api/plane/tests/contract/app/test_workspace_draft_retrieve_destroy_scope_app.py
Retrieval and deletion allow workspace admins and members and look up drafts owned by the requester. Contract tests check retrieval and deletion for own and other users’ drafts.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to cf0f2

The ownership behavior appears implemented, but the deletion test should require 404 before merge so it protects that contract. This is a bounded test gap.

Require 404 for another user's draft.

This assertion accepts 403, but the ownership contract requires 404. A regression that reveals whether another user's draft exists would pass this test. Assert status.HTTP_404_NOT_FOUND only.

+        assert response.status_code == status.HTTP_404_NOT_FOUND
         assert DraftIssue.objects.filter(pk=admin_draft.id).exists()

Based on learnings, unauthorized reads of private resources should return 404 rather than disclose existence through 403.
