Permission check

[BlackHawkNL]

Hi,

Im having some troubles with the permissions check, and cant figure out where its going wrong. For some reason when i check for permissions i keep getting the following error: TypeError: callback is not a function at hydrateGroups (/server/models/admin.js:115:13) at Async.auto (/server/models/admin.js:90:13)

I used the simple example thats in the wiki, and ofcourse made sure that the permission is assigned to a group and that the admin making the API call is assigned to that specific group.

Is there a work around for this? or can some one help me on the right direction.

Thanks, BlackHawk

Thanks for opening an issue. Could you provide some code to demonstrate how to reproduce this error?

Just a simple example

    server.route({
        method: 'GET',
        path: '/permcheck',
        config: {
            auth: {
                strategy: 'simple',
                scope: 'admin'
            }
        },
        handler: function(request, reply) {
            var credentials = request.auth.credentials;
            if (credentials.roles.admin.hasPermissionTo('adminarea')) {
                return reply(true);
            } else {
                reply(false);
            }
        }
    });

Ah! We need to update that wiki page, hasPermissionTo requires a callback. Here is a working version of what you posted.

server.route({
    method: 'GET',
    path: '/permcheck',
    config: {
        auth: {
            strategy: 'simple',
            scope: 'admin'
        }
    },
    handler: function(request, reply) {

        const credentials = request.auth.credentials;

        credentials.roles.admin.hasPermissionTo('adminarea', (err, allowed) => {

            if (err) {
                // hydrating failed
            }

            reply(allowed);
        });
    }
});
