Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) Implementation

Configure role-based access control to manage user permissions effectively.

Role Definition

{
  "role": {
    "name": "admin",
    "description": "Full system access",
    "permissions": [
      "users:read",
      "users:write",
      "users:delete",
      "settings:manage"
    ]
  }
}

Role Assignment

await auth.users.assignRoles(userId, ['admin', 'editor']);

Permission Checking

const canEdit = await auth.hasPermission(user, 'posts:edit');

if (!canEdit) {
  throw new ForbiddenError();
}

Role Hierarchies

roles:
  superadmin:
    inherits: [admin]
    permissions: [system:manage]
  admin:
    inherits: [editor]
    permissions: [users:manage]
  editor:
    permissions: [content:edit]
