It's based on [Casbin](https://github.com/php-casbin/php-casbin), an authorization library that supports access control models like ACL, RBAC, ABAC.

All you need to learn to use `Casbin` first.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Require this package in the `composer.json` of your `CodeIgniter 4` project. This will download the package.

```
composer require casbin/codeigniter-permission

```

To migrate the migrations, run the migrate command:

```
php spark migrate -n "Casbin\CodeIgniter"

```

This will create a new table named `rules`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Quick start

[](#quick-start)

Once installed you can do stuff like this:

```
$enforcer = \Config\Services::enforcer();

// adds permissions to a user
$enforcer->addPermissionForUser('eve', 'articles', 'read');
// adds a role for a user.
$enforcer->addRoleForUser('eve', 'writer');
// adds permissions to a rule
$enforcer->addPolicy('writer', 'articles','edit');
```

You can check if a user has a permission like this:

```
// to check if a user has permission
if ($enforcer->enforce("eve", "articles", "edit")) {
    // permit eve to edit articles
} else {
    // deny the request, show an error
}
```

### Using Enforcer Api

[](#using-enforcer-api)

It provides a very rich api to facilitate various operations on the Policy:

Gets all roles:

```
$enforcer->getAllRoles(); // ['writer', 'reader']
```

Gets all the authorization rules in the policy.:

```
$enforcer->getPolicy();
```

Gets the roles that a user has.

```
$enforcer->getRolesForUser('eve'); // ['writer']
```

Gets the users that has a role.

```
$enforcer->getUsersForRole('writer'); // ['eve']
```

Determines whether a user has a role.

```
$enforcer->hasRoleForUser('eve', 'writer'); // true or false
```

Adds a role for a user.

```
$enforcer->addRoleForUser('eve', 'writer');
```

Adds a permission for a user or role.

```
// to user
$enforcer->addPermissionForUser('eve', 'articles', 'read');
// to role
$enforcer->addPermissionForUser('writer', 'articles','edit');
```

Deletes a role for a user.

```
$enforcer->deleteRoleForUser('eve', 'writer');
```

Deletes all roles for a user.

```
$enforcer->deleteRolesForUser('eve');
```

Deletes a role.

```
$enforcer->deleteRole('writer');
```

Deletes a permission.

```
$enforcer->deletePermission('articles', 'read'); // returns false if the permission does not exist (aka not affected).
```

Deletes a permission for a user or role.

```
$enforcer->deletePermissionForUser('eve', 'articles', 'read');
```

Deletes permissions for a user or role.

```
// to user
$enforcer->deletePermissionsForUser('eve');
// to role
$enforcer->deletePermissionsForUser('writer');
```

Gets permissions for a user or role.

```
$enforcer->getPermissionsForUser('eve'); // return array
```

Determines whether a user has a permission.

```
$enforcer->hasPermissionForUser('eve', 'articles', 'read');  // true or false
```

See [Casbin API](https://casbin.org/docs/en/management-api) for more APIs.

### Multiple enforcers

[](#multiple-enforcers)

If you need multiple permission controls in your project, you can configure multiple enforcers.

In the `Config\Enforcer.php` file, it should be like this:

```
namespace Config;

use Casbin\CodeIgniter\Config\Enforcer as BaseConfig;
use Casbin\CodeIgniter\Adapters\DatabaseAdapter;

class Enforcer extends BaseConfig
{
    /*
     * Default Enforcer driver
     *
     * @var string
     */
    public $default = 'basic';

    public $basic = [
        /*
        * Casbin model setting.
        */
        'model' => [
            // Available Settings: "file", "text"
            'config_type' => 'file',

            'config_file_path' => __DIR__.'/rbac-model.conf',

            'config_text' => '',
        ],

        /*
        * Casbin adapter .
        */
        'adapter' => DatabaseAdapter::class,

        /*
        * Database setting.
        */
        'database' => [
            // Database connection for following tables.
            'connection' => '',

            // Rule table name.
            'rules_table' => 'rules',
        ],

        'log' => [
            // changes whether Casbin will log messages to the Logger.
            'enabled' => false,

            // Casbin Logger
            'logger' => \Casbin\CodeIgniter\Logger::class,
        ],

        'cache' => [
            // changes whether Casbin will cache the rules.
            'enabled' => false,

            // cache Key
            'key' => 'rules',

            // ttl int|null
            'ttl' => 24 * 60,
        ],
    ];

    public $second = [
        'model' => [
            // ...
        ],

        'adapter' => DatabaseAdapter::class,
        // ...
    ];
}
```

Then you can choose which enforcers to use.

```
$enforcer->guard('second')->enforce("eve", "articles", "edit");
```

### Using cache

[](#using-cache)

Authorization rules are cached to speed up performance. The default is off.

Sets your own cache configs in `Config\Enforcer.php`.

```
'cache' => [
    // changes whether Casbin will cache the rules.
    'enabled' => false,
    // cache Key
    'key' => 'rules',
    // ttl int|null
    'ttl' => 24 * 60,
]
```
