Feature request: Authorize button for Req Headers Authorization Token text input

[eternalee]

Feature request:

Similar to how Swagger UI Docs have an Authorize button at the top, where the user can paste in a bearer Authorization token into the request headers, is it possible to add an Authorize button to the top of Bull Board? It could popup a modal for the user to paste in a bearer token. Then if it is provided, is it possible for all the subsequent Bull Board requests to include that bearer token in the request headers? I imagine we can then use the BullBoard middleware to check permissions.

The Passport auth example is great but I think this approach would give us more granular job/request-level access validation.

Thank you!

Hi, I'm not sure I get your use-case, why do you need granular validation? How auth token will provide that?

[eternalee]

For example, different users have access to different bull jobs and the auth token may have roles stored inside

[felixmosh]

Ok, but this is exactly what the auth example does... Put a cookie with JWT, and in the middleware check you custom selection, no?

[eternalee]

Yes a cookie implementation works but I think something like how the auth token input is done in Swagger may be a bit more user-friendly, as a suggestion.

[felixmosh]

Swagger is an API docs app, it does make to allow adding an authorization header there.

If you have any specific flow that the board is not supports, I can check if it is relevant for it, or suggest other alternative, auth by default is not part of this lib.
