Directus role chooser

Allow your users to have multiple roles and switch between them.

The idea is for every user you can assign which roles they can pick from. You would still need to set their initial role, and make sure that permissions will allow them to switch.

Setup

This module is only the graphical interface to allow users to switch their role.

In order for it to work you need to setup the following (read first then do):

Create required fields

• On the directus_users collection create a m2m to directus_roles with the following setup

  junction: user_roles
  user: FK(directus_users, id)
  role: FK(directus_roles, id)

• Check the Add M2M to "directes_roles" checkbox under Corresponding Field and enter has_role as the field name.

Setup required permissions

Add the following permissions to the specified collections for every role

• - collection: user_roles
  - action: read
    fields: '*'
    permissions:
      has_role:
        user:
          _eq: $CURRENT_USER

• - collection: directus_users
  - action: update
    fields:
      - role
    permissions:
      id:
        _eq: $CURRENT_USER
    validation:
      role:
        _in: $CURRENT_USER.roles.role

• - collection: directus_roles
  - action: read
    fields: '*'
    permissions:
      has_role:
        user:
          _eq: $CURRENT_USER

After this you should now be able to add the roles to each user that you want them to be able to switch between.
