Permission Management

A permission is a simple policy that is granted or prohibited for a particular user, role or client. You can read more about authorization in ABP document.

You can get permission of authenticated user using getGrantedPolicy or getGrantedPolicy$ method of PermissionService.

ConfigState's getGrantedPolicy selector and ConfigStateService's getGrantedPolicy method deprecated. Use permission service's getGrantedPolicy$ or getGrantedPolicymethods instead

You can get permission as boolean value:

import { PermissionService } from '@abp/ng.core';

export class YourComponent {
  constructor(private permissionService: PermissionService) {}

  ngOnInit(): void {
    const canCreate = this.permissionService.getGrantedPolicy('AbpIdentity.Roles.Create');
  }
}

You may also combine policy keys to fine tune your selection:

// this.permissionService is instance of PermissionService

const hasIdentityAndAccountPermission = this.permissionService.getGrantedPolicy(
  "Abp.Identity && Abp.Account"
);

const hasIdentityOrAccountPermission = this.permissionService.getGrantedPolicy(
  "Abp.Identity || Abp.Account"
);

Please consider the following rules when creating your permission selectors:

  • Maximum 2 keys can be combined.
  • && operator looks for both keys.
  • || operator looks for either key.
  • Empty string '' as key will return true
  • Using an operator without a second key will return false

Permission Directive

You can use the PermissionDirective to manage visibility of a DOM Element accordingly to user's permission.

<div *abpPermission="'AbpIdentity.Roles'">
  This content is only visible if the user has 'AbpIdentity.Roles' permission.
</div>

As shown above you can remove elements from DOM with abpPermission structural directive.

Permission Guard

You can use PermissionGuard if you want to control authenticated user's permission to access to the route during navigation.

  • Import the PermissionGuard from @abp/ng.core.
  • Add canActivate: [PermissionGuard] to your route object.
  • Add requiredPolicy to the data property of your route in your routing module.
import { PermissionGuard } from '@abp/ng.core';
// ...
const routes: Routes = [
  {
    path: 'path',
    component: YourComponent,
    canActivate: [PermissionGuard],
    data: {
        requiredPolicy: 'YourProjectName.YourComponent', // policy key for your component
    },
  },
];

Granted Policies are stored in the auth property of ConfigState.
