ng-admin role-based system

[akagadovskiy]

Hi. I've found the tweak for creating ability for role-based access to different parts of functionality in admin. Without any changes in admin-config or ng-admin core repository. Role-based access can be achieved using different configurations for different roles. Naive demo uses simple localStorage without any providers.

if ($window.$get().localStorage.getItem('posters_galore_login') == 'admin') {
//admin config
} else {
//user config
}

instead of duplicating the conf, I'd pass the roles as a parameter to the config function and let it decide how to configure.

Are you talking about creating a provider/wrapper for handling configurations for different roles?

[fzaninotto]

I'm saying that you shouldn't put the if here, but in the config files. Something like:

const roles = $window.$get().localStorage.getItem('posters_galore_roles')
admin.addEntity(nga.entity('customers'));
require('./customers/config')(nga, admin, roles);

And then, in the config files, decide what to add according to roles.

That's not a hack, that's the simple way to handle roles in ng-admin!

Unless I'm missing something, this is certainly a hack.

The problem is that you don't know that the user is an admin or not until the app is running at which point ng-admin has already been set up in the controller. So you need to reload the app after log in, and saving the state which is ugly. Same on log out.
