Enhance our application's security model by integrating SuperTokens' User Roles recipe to support both Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) in a multi-tenant environment. This task involves setting up roles, permissions, and attribute checks, assigning roles to users, and safeguarding API and frontend routes based on these criteria.
Acceptance Criteria
SuperTokens User Roles recipe is initialized within the application, supporting multi-tenancy.
Roles and permissions are effectively managed across all tenants.
Users are assigned roles with a consideration for the tenant context.
API and frontend routes are protected, with access control decisions made based on a combination of roles, permissions, and user attributes.
The system dynamically updates session information to reflect changes in user roles, permissions, or relevant attributes.
Implementation Instructions
1. Initialize SuperTokens with User Roles Recipe
Incorporate the User Roles recipe during the backend's initialization phase of SuperTokens, ensuring it's configured for multi-tenancy and ABAC by including user attributes in session tokens when necessary.
2. Define Roles, Permissions, and Attributes
Define roles and permissions typical to your application's access control requirements. Additionally, identify user attributes relevant to ABAC, such as department, job title, or access level.
Create interfaces or mechanisms for managing these attributes alongside roles and permissions, ensuring they can be updated and managed efficiently.
3. Assigning Roles and Attributes to Users
Develop processes for assigning roles and attributes to users, considering the specifics of each tenant. This might involve an admin interface or automated assignment based on business logic.
Adjust the session creation logic to include both roles and user attributes in the session data, facilitating access control decisions.
4. Protecting API Routes with RBAC and ABAC
Implement NestJS guards or middleware that verify a user's session, roles, and attributes before allowing access to protected routes. Leverage SuperTokens' verification alongside custom logic for attribute checks.
Ensure that the access control logic for APIs takes into account the tenant context, validating roles and attributes within the correct tenant scope.
5. Frontend Route Protection
Extend the frontend's session management to consider user roles and attributes when guarding routes or features. Implement reactive guards that adapt to changes in user sessions.
Develop UI components or services that can interpret and enforce access controls based on both roles and attributes, ensuring a seamless user experience.
6. Handling Changes in Roles or Attributes
When updates to a user's roles, permissions, or attributes occur, ensure these changes are promptly reflected in their session. This may involve mechanisms to fetch and set updated claims in the session.
