NAME

Yancy::Plugin::Roles - Role-based access controls (RBAC)

VERSION

version 1.085

SYNOPSIS

    plugin Yancy => ...;
    plugin Auth => ...;
    plugin Roles => {
        schema => 'roles',
        userid_field => 'username',
    };

DESCRIPTION

Note: This module is EXPERIMENTAL and its API may change before Yancy v2.000 is released.

This plugin provides user authorization based on roles. Roles are created by using the "require_role" method. User accounts are provided by Yancy::Plugin::Auth (or a subclass). Accounts are mapped to roles in the database.

CONFIGURATION

This plugin has the following configuration options.

schema

The name of the Yancy schema that holds role memberships. Required.

userid_field

The name of the field in the schema which is the user's identifier. This field should be named the same in both the user schema and the roles schema.

role_field

The name of the field in the schema which holds the role. Defaults to role.

HELPERS

This plugin has the following helpers.

yancy.auth.has_role

Return true if the current user has the given role.

    get '/admin' => sub {
        my $c = shift;
        return $c->reply->not_found unless $c->yancy->auth->has_role( 'admin' );
    };

yancy.auth.require_role

Validate there is a logged-in user and that the user belongs to the given role(s). Returns a callback that can be used in under.

    my $require_admin = $app->yancy->auth->require_role( 'admin' );
    my $admin_routes = $app->routes->under( '/admin', $require_admin );
