Using only Permissions part of the library

[fbjerggaard]

Hi there!

Just stumbled upon this library in search of something to manage permissions on a project i'm working on, and it seems like a great solution to handle everything I need.

However - I already have multi-tenancy configured using Finbuckle.MultiTenant and authentication using Identityserver.

As far as I see it, it shouldn't be a problem using Identityserver with this project, and tenants seem to be able to be disabled by setting the TenantType to NotUsingTenants - I guess that will work just fine?

Also - I am having multiple projects (microservices) that each should handle permissions - would the preferred way be to put the Permissions enum in a class library and publish it with NuGet to other projects?

Hi @fbjerggaard,

You are quite right, you can use the AuthP for its Roles/Permissions feature. In fact the TenantTypedefaults toNotUsingTenants`.

The main issue is how you handle users. To use Roles/Permissions you need:

1. Create some Permissions & Roles
2. Create a user in the AuthP (see this article and in the AuthP documentation)
3. Link your IdentityServer to the AuthP users. I haven't built a IdentityServer-to-AuthP adapter, but have a look at the AuthP's Add New User adapter.
4. Add Roles to a user.

On your question of microservices and Permission, yes I would suggest you create a NuGet holding your permissions.

Good luck with your project.
