…org_for_user RoleBase._authz_get_orgs_for_user() read assignment.scope.org for every AuthZ assignment, but PlatformGlobData (course-v1:*, lib:*) has no .org attribute at all, unlike CourseOverviewData/OrgGlobData where it's a real (possibly None) field. Any user with a platform-wide role crashed get_orgs_for_user()/has_org_for_user() with an AttributeError. Special-case platform-wide assignments: since they cover every org, return all registered org short names instead of deriving them from individual assignments. Fixes openedx/openedx-authz#380

And could we please update test_course_listing.py module to use the build_external_key method? I forgot to do that in some of the tests.

Applied — wrapped it in PlatformCourseOverviewGlobData(...) since the literal suggestion would assign a bare string to scope (RoleAssignmentData.scope expects a ScopeData instance). Also updated test_course_listing.py's platform/org-glob tests to use build_external_key() as you asked. Fixed in d32aa52.

Yes, you're right. Now that I'm taking a closer look at the test, instead of mocking the assignments, could we use the assign_role_to_user_in_scope function? Something like this:
assign_role_to_user_in_scope(
self.student.username,
COURSE_STAFF.external_key,
PlatformCourseOverviewGlobData.build_external_key(),
)Per review feedback from @BryanttV on openedx#38980, also applied to test_course_listing.py which had the same pattern in unrelated pre-existing tests.

Description
Fixes openedx-authz#380
RoleBase._authz_get_orgs_for_user()(common/djangoapps/student/roles.py) readsassignment.scope.orgfor every AuthZ assignment. However,PlatformGlobData(thecourse-v1:*/lib:*platform-wide scopes) does not have an.orgattribute, unlikeCourseOverviewData/OrgGlobData, where.orgis a valid (possiblyNone) field.As a result, any user with a role assigned at a platform-wide scope would cause
get_orgs_for_user()/has_org_for_user()to fail with anAttributeError.The fix handles platform-wide assignments before accessing
.org. Since a platform-wide grant applies to every organization, the compatibility layer returns all registered organization short names instead of trying to derive them from individual assignments.Testing Instructions
authz.enable_course_authoringflag globally.course-v1:*).role.get_orgs_for_user(user)/role.has_org_for_user(user), or trigger any code path that uses them (e.g., the Studio course listing).AttributeErroris raised.Added
test_get_orgs_for_user_authz_platform_globincommon/djangoapps/student/tests/test_roles.pyto cover this case.
