RBAC API

A more friendly API for RBAC. This API is a subset of Management API. The RBAC users could use this API to simplify the code.

Reference

global variable e is Enforcer instance.

Go

e, err := NewEnforcer("examples/rbac_model.conf", "examples/rbac_policy.csv")

Node.js

const e = await newEnforcer('examples/rbac_model.conf', 'examples/rbac_policy.csv')

PHP

$e = new Enforcer('examples/rbac_model.conf', 'examples/rbac_policy.csv');

Python

e = casbin.Enforcer("examples/rbac_model.conf", "examples/rbac_policy.csv")

.NET

var e = new Enforcer("path/to/model.conf", "path/to/policy.csv");

Rust

let mut e = Enforcer::new("examples/rbac_model.conf", "examples/rbac_policy.csv").await?;

Java

Enforcer e = new Enforcer("examples/rbac_model.conf", "examples/rbac_policy.csv");

GetRolesForUser()

Node.js

const res = await e.getRolesForUser('alice')

PHP

$res = $e->getRolesForUser("alice");

Python

roles = e.get_roles_for_user("alice")

GetImplicitRolesForUser()

GetImplicitRolesForUser gets implicit roles that a user has. Compared to GetRolesForUser(), this function retrieves indirect roles besides direct roles.

For example:

g, alice, role:admin  
g, role:admin, role:user  

GetRolesForUser("alice") can only get: ["role:admin"].
But GetImplicitRolesForUser("alice") will get: ["role:admin", "role:user"].

For example:

Go

e.GetImplicitRolesForUser("alice")

Node.js

await e.getImplicitRolesForUser("alice")

PHP

$e->getImplicitRolesForUser("alice");

Python

e.get_implicit_roles_for_user("alice")

.NET

var implicitRoles = e.GetImplicitRolesForUser("alice");

Rust

e.get_implicit_roles_for_user("alice", None); // No domain

Java

List<String> implicitRoles = e.getImplicitRolesForUser("alice");

GetImplicitUsersForRole()

GetImplicitUsersForRole gets all users inheriting the role. Compared to GetUsersForRole(), this function retrieves indirect users.

For example:

g, alice, role:admin  
g, role:admin, role:user  

GetUsersForRole("role:user") can only get: ["role:admin"].
But GetImplicitUesrsForRole("role:user") will get: ["role:admin", "alice"].

For example:

Go

users := e.GetImplicitUsersForRole("role:user")

Node.js

const users = e.getImplicitUsersForRole("role:user");

Java

List<String> users = e.getImplicitUsersForRole("role:user");

GetImplicitPermissionsForUser()

GetImplicitPermissionsForUser gets implicit permissions for a user or role.
Compared to GetPermissionsForUser(), this function retrieves permissions for inherited roles.

For example:

p, admin, data1, read  
p, alice, data2, read  
g, alice, admin 

GetPermissionsForUser("alice") can only get: [["alice", "data2", "read"]].
But GetImplicitPermissionsForUser("alice") will get: [["admin", "data1", "read"], ["alice", "data2", "read"]].

For example:

Go

e.GetImplicitPermissionsForUser("alice")

Node.js

await e.getImplicitPermissionsForUser("alice")

PHP

$e->getImplicitPermissionsForUser("alice");

Python

e.get_implicit_permissions_for_user("alice")

.NET

var implicitPermissions = e.GetImplicitPermissionsForUser("alice");

Rust

e.get_implicit_permissions_for_user("alice", None); // No domain

Java

List<List<String>> implicitPermissions = e.getImplicitPermissionsForUser("alice");

GetNamedImplicitPermissionsForUser()

GetNamedImplicitPermissionsForUser gets implicit permissions for a user or role by named policy Compared to GetImplicitPermissionsForUser(), this function allow you to specify the policy name.

For example:

p, admin, data1, read
p2, admin, create
g, alice, admin

GetImplicitPermissionsForUser("alice") only get: [["admin", "data1", "read"]], whose policy is default "p"

But you can specify the policy as "p2" to get: [["admin", "create"]] by GetNamedImplicitPermissionsForUser("p2","alice")

For example:

Go

e.GetNamedImplicitPermissionsForUser("p2","alice")

Python

e.get_named_implicit_permissions_for_user("p2", "alice")

GetDomainsForUser()

GetDomainsForUser gets all domains which a user has.

For example:

p, admin, domain1, data1, read
p, admin, domain2, data2, read
p, admin, domain2, data2, write
g, alice, admin, domain1
g, alice, admin, domain2

GetDomainsForUser("alice") could get ["domain1", "domain2"]

For example:

Go

result, err := e.GetDomainsForUser("alice")

GetImplicitResourcesForUser()

GetImplicitResourcesForUser returns all policies that should be true for user.

For example:

p, alice, data1, read
p, bob, data2, write
p, data2_admin, data2, read
p, data2_admin, data2, write

g, alice, data2_admin

GetImplicitResourcesForUser("alice") will return [[alice data1 read] [alice data2 read] [alice data2 write]]

Go

resources, err := e.GetImplicitResourcesForUser("alice")

GetImplicitUsersForPermission()

GetImplicitUsersForPermission gets implicit users for a permission.

For example:

p, admin, data1, read
p, bob, data1, read
g, alice, admin

GetImplicitUsersForPermission("data1", "read") will return: ["alice", "bob"].

Note: only users will be returned, roles (2nd arg in "g") will be excluded.

Go

users, err := e.GetImplicitUsersForPermission("data1", "read")

GetAllowedObjectConditions()

GetAllowedObjectConditions returns a string array of object conditions that the user can access.

For example:

p, alice, r.obj.price < 25, read
p, admin, r.obj.category_id = 2, read
p, bob, r.obj.author = bob, write

g, alice, admin

e.GetAllowedObjectConditions("alice", "read", "r.obj.") will return ["price < 25", "category_id = 2"], nil

Note:

0. prefix: You can customize the prefix of the object conditions, and "r.obj." is commonly used as a prefix. After removing the prefix, the remaining part is the condition of the object. If there is an obj policy that does not meet the prefix requirement, an errors.ERR_OBJ_CONDITION will be returned.

1. If the 'objectConditions' array is empty, return errors.ERR_EMPTY_CONDITION This error is returned because some data adapters' ORM return full table data by default when they receive an empty condition, which tends to behave contrary to expectations.(e.g. GORM) If you are using an adapter that does not behave like this, you can choose to ignore this error.

Go

conditions, err := e.GetAllowedObjectConditions("alice", "read", "r.obj.")

GetImplicitUsersForResource()

GetImplicitUsersForResource return implicit user based on resource.

For example:

p, alice, data1, read
p, bob, data2, write
p, data2_admin, data2, read
p, data2_admin, data2, write
g, alice, data2_admin

GetImplicitUsersForResource("data2") will return [["bob", "data2", "write"], ["alice", "data2", "read"] ["alice", "data2", "write"]], nil.

GetImplicitUsersForResource("data1") will return [["alice", "data1", "read"]], nil.

Go

ImplicitUsers, err := e.GetImplicitUsersForResource("data2")

note

Only users will be returned, roles (2nd arg in "g") will be excluded.
