Workspace Query Edge Case

[Crain-32]

Currently given a gateway URL like the following,
jetbrains-gateway://connect#type=coder&workspace=other-workspace&owner=user-a&etc=...
the LinkHandler which gets executed has a missing edge case.

Mainly that you'll always fail to find the Workspaces unless you are the owner of the Workspace. This is due to not setting the CoderSettings.workspaceFilter before doing the client.workspaces() call. Which is problematic in a large scale organization where custom roles might be at play, and non-owners have access to a workspace.

Thank you for the report. @code-asher can you take a look on how best we can handle this and if there are existing workarounds for this.

At the moment, if you want to access someone else's workspaces, you have to put their name in the workspace filter setting. Or you have to remove the filter, but this can be very, very slow.

I would like to remove this restriction/requirement altogether, but to do that we need wildcard host names first: coder/coder#14986

@code-asher, as we now have a wildcard host in coder config-ssh. Do you think the OP's issue is solved or solveable? @bcpeinhardt can you help here too? Thanks.

I think this might be solved, although I am not sure anyone has specifically tested the case of connecting to someone else's workspace from the dashboard yet, so we may want to verify that. Although the SSH config uses wildcards, I am not completely sure if the link handler makes other queries that need to be fixed.

I'm currently OOO (Or I'd verify the connection question)
I'll be back in Office the third week of April, at which point I could test it.

Once the Dashboard question is answered (either by my verification or someone else's), I'll consider this closed. Thanks everyone!
