AshMultiAccount.LinkedAccount

An Ash extension which generates the default linked account resource.

The linked account resource tracks links between user accounts within a browser session. Each link connects a "primary user" (the account that initiated the session) with a "linked user" (an additional account), scoped to a session token.

Usage

There is no need to define attributes, relationships, or actions manually. The extension generates them all for you.

defmodule MyApp.Accounts.LinkedAccount do
  use Ash.Resource,
    domain: MyApp.Accounts,
    data_layer: ...,  # any Ash data layer (AshPostgres, AshSqlite, ETS, etc.)
    extensions: [AshMultiAccount.LinkedAccount]

  multi_account do
    user_resource MyApp.Accounts.User
  end
end

If using a database-backed data layer, add the appropriate data layer config (e.g. postgres do ... end for AshPostgres).

Generated Schema

The extension adds:

• Primary Key: id (UUID, auto-generated if not already defined)
• Attributes: session_token (UUID), status (:active / :inactive), inserted_at, updated_at
• Relationships: primary_user and linked_user (both belongs_to User)
• Identity: unique constraint on [primary_user_id, linked_user_id, session_token]
• Actions: create_linked_account, get_linked_accounts, activate, deactivate, read, destroy
• Calculation: is_active? (module-based, checks status attribute)

Policies

No policies are added by default. You should add your own authorization policies. Recommended:

policies do
  policy action_type(:read) do
    authorize_if always()
  end

  policy action_type(:create) do
    authorize_if relates_to_actor_via(:primary_user)
  end

  policy action_type([:update, :destroy]) do
    authorize_if expr(primary_user_id == ^actor(:id))
  end
end

multi_account

Configure multi-account options for the LinkedAccount resource.
