Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~30 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This PR allows users with ADMIN OPTION to manage role membership, but the authorization regression test does not execute the guard it is intended to protect. An incorrect permission path could therefore reach production undetected, so merge should wait for the test to exercise that guard or for explicit owner acceptance. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

…min-org#9450) A role's membership tab only enabled the add/remove member controls for superusers and CREATEROLE holders, so a user who was themselves granted ADMIN OPTION on that role (and can therefore GRANT/REVOKE its membership at the SQL level) had no way to add other members, and hit a permission error server-side if they tried anyway. The role UI schema now also allows membership changes when the current user is a member of the role with admin=true. The backend mirrors this: permission.sql reports whether the connecting user holds ADMIN OPTION on the target role, and the update handler lets such a request through only when it's restricted to rolmembers changes, so this can't be used to escalate other role attributes.
_validate_rolemembers() mutates the request dict in place, adding
derived keys such as rol_members_list and rol_members_revoked_list.
The membership-only update guard in RoleView.update() checked those
mutated keys against {'rolmembers'}, so a valid ADMIN OPTION request
containing only rolmembers was wrongly rejected as forbidden.
Capture the client-supplied keys before validate_request() runs the
validators, and check against that snapshot instead. Adds a regression
test for the rolmembers-only update path.
… guard The existing regression test for the membership-only update guard re-implemented _check_permission()/_validate_rolemembers() logic by hand instead of calling validate_request() or RoleView.update(), so it wouldn't catch a regression in how those decorators interact. Add a test that drives RoleView.update() through its real decorator chain (check_precondition -> validate_request -> update), with the driver/connection/SQL rendering mocked out, submitting a rolmembers-only body as an ADMIN OPTION holder and asserting the request is not rejected with 403.

Carrying a CodeRabbit finding over from #10330, where it was raised against an unrebased branch that still had this work stacked on it, so it landed on the wrong PR:
It was a real bug, and it is already fixed on this branch. The version it was raised against (4173ddf, the copy carried on #10330's branch) had Nothing to do here, recording it so the finding is not lost. |

Summary
The Group Role dialog's Membership tab only enabled the add/remove member controls (the "+" icon) for superusers and CREATEROLE holders. A user who was themselves granted
ADMIN OPTIONon that specific role - and who can thereforeGRANT/REVOKEits membership directly in SQL - had no way to add other members through the UI, and hit"The current user does not have permission to update the role."server-side if they tried some other way in.admin: true.permission.sqlnow also reports whether the connecting user holdsADMIN OPTIONon the target role (a directpg_auth_memberslookup, matching how the role's member list is already built elsewhere in this module). Theupdatepermission check lets such a user through, but the update handler then restricts what they're allowed to submit torolmemberschanges only, so this can't be used to escalate other role attributes (superuser, CREATEROLE, password, etc.) they otherwise have no permission to change.Fixes #9450.
