View Source Ash.Policy.Check behaviour (ash v3.4.37)
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.
Summary
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
Expands the description of the check, given the actor and subject
Whether or not the expanded description should replace the basic description in breakdowns
Whether or not your check requires the original data of a changeset (if applicable)
Strict checks should be cheap, and should never result in external calls (like database or domain)
The type of the check
Types
@type actor() :: any()
@type authorizer() :: Ash.Policy.Authorizer.t()
@type check_type() :: :simple | :filter | :manual
@type options() :: Keyword.t()
Callbacks
@callback auto_filter(actor(), 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(actor(), [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 eager_evaluate?() :: boolean()
@callback expand_description( actor(), authorizer(), options() ) :: {:ok, String.t()} | :none
Expands the description of the check, given the actor and subject
@callback prefer_expanded_description?() :: boolean()
Whether or not the expanded description should replace the basic description in breakdowns
Whether or not your check requires the original data of a changeset (if applicable)
@callback strict_check(actor(), authorizer(), options()) :: {:ok, boolean() | :unknown} | {:error, term()}
Strict checks should be cheap, and should never result in external calls (like database or domain)
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
