Summary of Changes
Hello @fulleni, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
This pull request significantly refactors the application's authentication and authorization mechanisms by introducing a dedicated PermissionService. This service is now central to determining access for dashboard logins and bypassing user preference limits, moving away from direct role-based checks. The changes enhance security by enforcing granular permissions and addressing a potential loophole in the dashboard login flow.
Highlights
- Permission Service Integration: Introduced a new
PermissionServiceand integrated it into core application services (AuthServiceandDefaultUserPreferenceLimitService) to centralize and standardize permission checks. - New Granular Permissions: Defined
dashboard.loginanduser_preference.bypass_limitsto allow for more fine-grained control over specific functionalities. - Enhanced Dashboard Authentication: Updated
AuthServiceto leverage thedashboard.loginpermission for dashboard sign-in, replacing direct role checks, and added a critical re-verification step during code verification to prevent unauthorized dashboard access. - Permission-Based User Preference Limits: Modified
DefaultUserPreferenceLimitServiceto use theuser_preference.bypass_limitspermission, allowing designated users (e.g., admins) to bypass user preference restrictions.

The logic for checking user permissions and retrieving remote configuration is duplicated in the checkUpdatePreferences method (lines 105-111). To avoid this duplication, extract this logic into a private helper method.

The logic for checking user permissions and retrieving remote configuration is duplicated from the checkAddItem method (lines 42-48). Extract this logic into a private helper method to avoid code duplication.
