<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
<p>XMPP components are used for long through &xep0114;, but are quite limited: they have a restricted access to other entities data, similar to what a client can do. This is sufficient for components like gateways, but very limiting for more complex components like a PubSub service. The goal of this XEP is to allow a component or any entity to have a "privileged" status, and access some other entity data with the same privileges than the entity itself, that means manage an entity roster on its behalf, send &MESSAGE; or receive &PRESENCE; stanzas in the name of the server.</p>

<section2 topic='IQ Stanzas on Behalf of a Server User' anchor='iq_stanzas'>
<p>It may be necessary for a component to send &IQ; stanzas on behalf of a server user. This is, for instance, the case for a pubsub component willing to implement &xep0376;.</p>
<p>To do this, an "iq" permission must be granted in server configuration.</p>
<p>To grant an "iq" permission, authorised namespaces must be specified and associated to a value indicating the type of &IQ; request which are allowed. The value is similar to the roster access type, there are 4 values possible:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>none</strong> — the entity is not allowed to send &IQ; stanzas for this namespace.</li>
<li><strong>get</strong> — the entity is allowed to send &IQ; stanzas of type <em>'get'</em> for this namespace.</li>
<li><strong>set</strong> — the entity is allowed to send &IQ; stanzas of type <em>'set'</em> for this namespace.</li>

<section2 topic='Avertising Permission' anchor='advertise_iq'>
<p>Server adversites "iq" permission by using a &lt;perm&gt; element with an 'access' attribute of the value "iq" and wihout 'type' attribute. This element MAY contain any number of &lt;namespace&gt; elements with a 'ns' attribute of the value of the granted namespace, and a 'type' attribute with one of the value indicated in <link url="#iq_stanzas">previous section</link></p>

<p>Here <em>pubsub.capulet.lit</em> is allowed to send &IQ; stanza of type <em>set</em> with the namespace 'http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub' on behalf of any entity managed by capulet.lit</p>
</section2>
<section2 topic='Sending IQ Stanzas' anchor='sending_iq'>
<p>Sending an &IQ; stanza on behalf of a user is done by following those steps:</p>
<ul>
<li>generate the &IQ; stanza which much be sent on behalf of the user, we call it "encapsulated &IQ; stanza". The 'type' attribute and the namespace of the payload element must match the "iq" permission granted by the server. This &IQ; stanza MUST have a namespace of "jabber:client"</li>
<li>the encapsulated &IQ; stanza MUST either have no 'from' attribute, or a 'from' attribute set to the bare jid of the entity on behalf of who the privileged entity is doing the request</li>
<li>encapsulate the &IQ; request in a &lt;privileged_iq&gt; element with a namespace of 'urn:xmpp:privilege:2'</li>
<li>use the &lt;privileged_iq&gt; element as payload of a top-level &IQ; request adressed to the bare JID of the managed entity</li>
<li>use the same type for top-level &IQ; request as for the encapsulated &IQ; request</li>
</ul>
<p>The server MUST refuse the request with a &forbidden; error if any of the following condition happens:</p>
<ul>
<li>the 'to' attribute of the top-level &IQ; stanza is not a bare JID of a managed entity</li>
<li>the requesting entity has not the permission granted for the namespace used in payload of the encapsulated &IQ; stanza</li>
<li>the requesting entity has not the permission granted for the type of &IQ; request used in the encapsulated &IQ; stanza for the namespace used in its payload</li>
<li>the namespace of the encapsulated &IQ; stanza is not "jabber:client"</li>
<li>the 'from' attribute of the encapsulated &IQ; stanza exists and is set to a JID which doesn't match the 'to' attribute of the top-level &IQ; stanza.</li>
<li>the 'type' attribute of the top-level &IQ; stanza does not match the 'type' attribute of the encapsulated &IQ; stanza</li>
</ul>
<p>Once the server gets the &IQ; response, it sends it back to privileged entity using a &xep0297; &lt;forward&gt; element encapsulated in a &lt;privilege&gt; element with a namespace of 'urn:xmpp'.</p>
<p>In following example, the pubsub component <em>pubsub.capulet.lit</em> handles &xep0376;. After getting a pubsub subscribe request, from Juliet to subscribe to Romeo's blog, it forward it to Romeo's server:</p>
<example caption='Privileged Entity Send an &IQ; Stanza on Behalf of Juliet'><![CDATA[
<iq
from='pubsub.capulet.lit'

<subscribe
node='urn:xmpp:microblog:0'
jid='juliet@capulet.lit'/>
</pubsub>
</iq>
</privileged_iq>
</iq>
]]></example>
<p>When receiving this stanza, the server does a couple of things:</p>
<ul>
<li>It checks that top-level &IQ; stanza is addressed to the bare JID of a managed entity: it's the case for <em>juliet@capulet.lit</em>.</li>
<li>It decapsulate the encapsulated &IQ; stanza, check that it's namespace is 'jabber:client' and that its 'type' attribute has the same value as the top-level &IQ; stanza. It's "set" in both case, so it's good.</li>
<li>It gets the payload of the encapsulated &IQ; stanza, and checks that <em>pubsub.capulet.lit</em> is authorised to send priviled &IQ; for its namespace with the given &IQ; type. Here the payload has a namespace of 'http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub' and the &IQ; a type of "set", this combination is authorised for <em>pubsub.capulet.lit</em>, it's good.</li>
<li>It checks that the encapsulated &IQ; stanza either has no 'from' attribute or has a 'from' attribute mathing the bare JID set in 'to' attribute of the top-level &IQ; stanza. Here no 'from' attribute is set, it's good.</li>
<li>It sets the 'from' attribute of the encapsulated &IQ; stanza to same value as the 'to' attribute of the top-level &IQ; stanza (i.e. the bare JID of the managed entity).</li>
<li>Once everything is checked, it can then send the encapsulated &IQ; as if it were sent by Juliet herself (the only difference is that the 'from' attribute has no resource while it would have the resource of Juliet's client if she was sending it herself).</li>
</ul>
