View Source Ash.Policy.Check behaviour (ash v2.9.11)
A behaviour for declaring checks, which can be used to easily construct authorization rules.
If a check can be expressed simply, i.e as a function of the actor, or the context of the request,
see Ash.Policy.SimpleCheck for an easy way to write that check.
If a check can be expressed with a filter statement, see Ash.Policy.FilterCheck
for an easy way to write that check.

Callbacks
An optional callback, that allows the check to work with policies set to access_type :filter
An optional callback, hat allows the check to work with policies set to access_type :runtime
Describe the check in human readable format, given the options
Strict checks should be cheap, and should never result in external calls (like database or api)
The type of the check
Link to this section Types
@type authorizer() :: Ash.Policy.Authorizer.t()
@type check_type() :: :simple | :filter | :manual
@type options() :: Keyword.t()
Link to this section Callbacks
@callback auto_filter(struct(), authorizer(), options()) :: Keyword.t() | Ash.Expr.t()
An optional callback, that allows the check to work with policies set to access_type :filter
Return a keyword list filter that will be applied to the query being made, and will scope the results to match the rule
@callback check(struct(), [Ash.Resource.record()], map(), options()) :: [ Ash.Resource.record() ]
An optional callback, hat allows the check to work with policies set to access_type :runtime
Takes a list of records, and returns the subset of authorized records.
Describe the check in human readable format, given the options
@callback strict_check(struct(), authorizer(), options()) :: {:ok, boolean() | :unknown}
Strict checks should be cheap, and should never result in external calls (like database or api)
It should return {:ok, true} if it can tell that the request is authorized, and {:ok, false} if
it can tell that it is not. If unsure, it should return {:ok, :unknown}
@callback type() :: check_type()
The type of the check
:manual checks must be written by hand as standard check modules
:filter checks can use Ash.Policy.FilterCheck for simplicity
:simple checks can use Ash.Policy.SimpleCheck for simplicity
