Summary

  • Implement IBM Cloud PlatformPermsCheck with read-only LIST/GET probes against IAM Identity, Resource Groups, VPC, CIS/DNS Services, and COS.
  • Run those probes even when credentialsMode: Manual (required on IBM Cloud IPI). AWS/GCP still skip when credentialsMode is set.
  • Fail fast with one aggregated error naming services the installer API key cannot access, before CAPI/Terraform creates resources (RFE-9914).

This is IAM preflight, not quota. Do not combine with #10589 (RFE-9374).

Test plan

  • go test -mod=vendor ./pkg/asset/installconfig/ibmcloud/ -run 'TestValidatePerms|TestIsForbidden'
  • go test -mod=vendor ./pkg/asset/installconfig/ -run TestSkipPermsCheckForCredentialsMode
  • Negative: Viewer-only (or no VPC) API key fails at Platform Permissions Check in seconds; no destroy needed
  • Positive: documented installer key logs Performing platform permissions checks; Ctrl-C before CAPI
  • Confirm AWS/GCP Manual skip is unchanged

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added IBM Cloud permission validation for required IAM, resource group, VPC, DNS, and Cloud Object Storage access.
    • Installation checks now report missing or insufficient IBM Cloud permissions before cluster creation.
  • Bug Fixes

    • IBM Cloud permission checks now run even when a credentials mode is configured.
    • Improved handling of valid “not found” responses so they are not incorrectly reported as permission failures.
    • Added an error when IBM Cloud platform configuration is missing.

IBM Cloud IPI requires credentialsMode: Manual, which previously skipped
the entire permission check. Probe IAM Identity, Resource Groups, VPC,
CIS/DNS, and COS with read-only LIST/GET calls so missing IAM fails in
seconds instead of during CAPI.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds IBM Cloud API permission validation for IAM, resource groups, VPC, DNS, and COS. Integrates validation into platform permission checks and changes credential-mode skipping so IBM Cloud checks still run.

Changes

IBM Cloud permissions

Layer / File(s) Summary
Permission probes and error classification
pkg/asset/installconfig/ibmcloud/permissions.go, pkg/asset/installconfig/ibmcloud/permissions_test.go
Adds ValidatePerms, service-specific probes, forbidden-error classification, combined service errors, and table-driven tests.
Platform permission check integration
pkg/asset/installconfig/platformpermscheck.go, pkg/asset/installconfig/platformpermscheck_test.go
Runs IBM Cloud validation through a session client and skips checks for configured credential modes only on non-IBM Cloud platforms. Tests cover the platform-specific rule.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c64aa

Temporary IBM Cloud API failures can incorrectly pass validation and allow an installation to proceed until provisioning fails. This should be corrected before merge.

Propagate unexpected IBM Cloud probe errors.

Each probe returns nil for errors that isForbidden does not recognize. ValidatePerms then reports success, and PlatformPermsCheck allows the cluster asset and provisioning workflow to continue without completing the IBM Cloud permission check. A transport or service failure can therefore be deferred until provisioning.

Preserve explicit not-found handling and recognized permission errors. Return every other probe error. Update the connection-reset test to expect an error.
