Authorization Module
This module is responsible for handling user authorization using JWT. It ships with a set of components and utils to make it easy to integrate authorization into your application.
Architecture
This module supports different permissions in different multi-tenant applications. All permissions should be stored in one application instance.
To encapsulate the authorization logic from your main application, this module provides an Authorization object. Extend your applications Account or User model with the Authorization object to extend your app with authorization functionality.
Permission
There's a global set of permissions. An authorization can have multiple permissions for each app and tenant.
Role
To make the usage of permissions easier, there are roles. A role can have multiple permissions. Each tenant can have it own set of roles.
Admin
An authorization can be an admin in two ways:
- System-wide
- Per tenant
Ban
An authorization can be banned in two ways:
- System-wide
- Per tenant
The isBan flag always is more important than the isAdmin flag. E. g.: A banned user has no permissions, even if he is an admin or super admin.
An authenticated user always get a valid token, even he's system-wide banned. This gives the possibility to redirect him to login page OR show him a jail page.
A banned authorization for a specific tenant also get a valid token to give him access to other tenants where he is not banned.
Access hierarchy
To emit if an authorization has access to a specific tenant with a specific permission, following hierarchy is used:
- System-wide ban
- Is super admin
- Is banned in app
- Is admin in app
- Has permission in app
TODO::
- [ ] Add validator which check the tokens structure on runtime.
- [ ] Make sure that a AppAccess appId and tenantId is the same as the roles appId and tenantId
- [ ] Add refresh token process
- [ ] Add access token process
- [ ] Cleanup module.ts
- [ ] Select multiple Roles components
- [ ] Composable to reach all permissions in system
- [ ] Find a way to handle permissions properly across modules
- [ ] Fix and add tests
- [ ] Force logout or refresh token function to logout/ban all devices fast

Important
Populate the authorization.appAccesses.roles
Because appAccesses.roles
is a relation to the roles table, you need to populate it.
Also be careful, you need to add the model property to the populate method, because @antify/database
is a multi connection client. To make mongoose work properly, you need to specify the model.
Read more about
it here.
const user = await UserModel
.findOne({_id: userId})
.populate({
path: 'authorization.appAccesses.roles',
model: client.getModel<Role>('authorization_roles')
});
