Group Based Authorization in Jhipster Application












0














What I have to implement is Group Based Authorization in Jhipster Application.
Here is the detail Scenario of the current development:



As of now, Jhipster supports User->Role based authorization system where the roles are included in the Authorities.constant file and inside the authorities.csv as well which are declared as string Variables.



I already have generated entity which has its sub-entities with many to one relationship.



I have managed to create another component(not entity) from scratch called as group. I have also modified the POJO(java) and the model(angular) of the inbuilt User table(component) to have a foreign key as a Group ID. Moreover, I have created another Group component(backend + frontend) which is described as following:



Operation Permitted:
This is a dropdown i.e Read,Read/Write,Read/Write/Delete



Now, while creating a user, instead of assigning them to roles, I have assigned them to groups which indeed has some of its operations(stated above).



Since Jhipster already provides *JhiHasAuthority tag which can hide and show the elements in frontend accordingly, all I need to do is link those with Spring and the frontend.



Any help would be highly appreciated. Please let me know if anything else is required.



Thanks in Advance.

  • Which authentication type do you use? Your design on server means that a user can belong to only one group which seems a limitation to me. Also I don't understand what is the difference between groups and roles in your app, why not just modifying roles or if you really need groups why not declaring them as an entity with relationships to both User and Authorithy?
