fix: omit nonResourceURLs from namespaced Roles - #1278
What does this PR do / why we need it:
The application-controller Role copies rules from the aggregated admin ClusterRole. Third-party ClusterRoles labeled aggregate-to-admin can contribute nonResourceURLs, which are illegal on a Role, so the API server rejects it and Argo CD reconcile hard-fails (including Dex / OpenShift OAuth).
This PR fixes that by stripping nonResourceURLs from the namespace role while copying from admin ClusterRole.
Verify that the nonResourceURLs rule is propagated to the aggregated admin ClusterRole:
oc get clusterrole admin -o yaml
Create or reconcile an Argo CD instance managed by the OpenShift GitOps Operator.
Observe that the GitOps Operator attempts to create/update the namespaced Role:
openshift-gitops-argocd-application-controller
The reconciliation fails with:
Role.rbac.authorization.k8s.io "openshift-gitops-argocd-application-controller" is invalid:
rules[814].nonResourceURLs: Invalid value: []string{"*"}:
namespaced rules cannot apply to non-resource URLs
Expected Result
The GitOps Operator should not copy the nonResourceURLs rule into the namespaced Application Controller Role. Argo CD reconciliation should complete successfully.
Improved how administrator permissions are incorporated into the application controller role, preserving applicable resource permissions.
Excluded non-resource URL permissions from namespaced roles while retaining valid resource access.
Added validation that checks aggregated permissions do not add non-resource URL rules to the role and that Argo CD remains available.
The controller filters admin ClusterRole rules before adding them to the namespaced application-controller Role. Unit and end-to-end tests check that resource permissions remain and non-resource URL permissions are omitted.
The controller removes NonResourceURLs and drops rules that have no remaining policy fields. It logs the number of omitted rules. Unit tests check filtering behavior.
Apply filtered rules and validate Role controllers/argocd/openshift/openshift.go, test/openshift/e2e/ginkgo/sequential/1-113_validate_controller_role_test.go
The end-to-end test checks that a resource rule is aggregated, non-resource URL rules remain absent, and Argo CD remains available.
The implementation is covered by unit tests, but the E2E regression test should verify aggregation before merge to provide confidence in the full reconciliation path.

If a clusterRole is only a nonResourseURLs-only rule e.g. {NonResourceURLs: []string{"/metrics"}, Verbs: []string{"get"}}, then stripping NonResourceURLs without the emptiness check leaves: {APIGroups: nil, Resources: nil, Verbs: []string{"get"}} which is an invalid PolicyRule for a namespaced Role. This check might be worth including. Let me know if you feel otherwise.
Assert the non-resource rule on admin before checking the namespaced Role.
The test only proves that the resource rule reaches the namespaced Role. If aggregation omits nonResourceRule while still aggregating the resource rule, the test passes without exercising the filtering path.

How to test changes / Special notes to the reviewer:
Steps to Reproduce
Install the affected version of the OpenShift GitOps Operator 1.19.3.
Create a ClusterRole with the aggregate-to-admin label and a nonResourceURLs rule:
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: ClusterRole
metadata:
name: test-aggregated-admin-role
labels:
rbac.authorization.k8s.io/aggregate-to-admin: "true"
rules:
verbs:
Apply the ClusterRole:
oc apply -f test-aggregated-admin-role.yaml
Verify that the nonResourceURLs rule is propagated to the aggregated admin ClusterRole:
oc get clusterrole admin -o yaml
Create or reconcile an Argo CD instance managed by the OpenShift GitOps Operator.
Observe that the GitOps Operator attempts to create/update the namespaced Role:
openshift-gitops-argocd-application-controller
The reconciliation fails with:
Role.rbac.authorization.k8s.io "openshift-gitops-argocd-application-controller" is invalid:
rules[814].nonResourceURLs: Invalid value: []string{"*"}:
namespaced rules cannot apply to non-resource URLs
Expected Result
The GitOps Operator should not copy the nonResourceURLs rule into the namespaced Application Controller Role. Argo CD reconciliation should complete successfully.
