note for using model fields in field-level policies #365

Open heyweswu opened 4 weeks ago

heyweswu commented 4 weeks ago

Stumbled upon this behavior when working on an application but didn't see it documented. Not super intuitive so I thought I would try to explain what I was experiencing. Open to any word-smithing you all may feel is necessary!

Walkthrough

The changes introduce a new section in the documentation that details the use of other model fields within field-level policies. It highlights the importance of including all relevant fields in the select query for proper evaluation of the policy. The documentation clarifies that omitting a field from the select query results in the policy evaluating to false, which prevents data retrieval. Two illustrative examples are provided to demonstrate the impact of field inclusion on query results.

Changes

Files Change Summary
docs/the-complete-guide/part1/4-access-policy/4.7-field-level.md Added a section on "Using other model fields within Field-Level Policies" explaining field inclusion in select queries. Included examples demonstrating the effects of field inclusion on query results.

Tips ### Chat There are 3 ways to chat with [CodeRabbit](https://coderabbit.ai): > :bangbang: **IMPORTANT** > Auto-reply has been disabled for this repository in the CodeRabbit settings. The CodeRabbit bot will not respond to your replies unless it is explicitly tagged. - Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag `@coderabbitai` in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples: - `@coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.` - `@coderabbitai modularize this function.` - PR comments: Tag `@coderabbitai` in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples: - `@coderabbitai generate interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table.` - `@coderabbitai show all the console.log statements in this repository.` - `@coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.` - `@coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.` - `@coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.` Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments. ### CodeRabbit Commands (Invoked using PR comments) - `@coderabbitai pause` to pause the reviews on a PR. - `@coderabbitai resume` to resume the paused reviews. - `@coderabbitai review` to trigger an incremental review. This is useful when automatic reviews are disabled for the repository. - `@coderabbitai full review` to do a full review from scratch and review all the files again. - `@coderabbitai summary` to regenerate the summary of the PR. - `@coderabbitai resolve` resolve all the CodeRabbit review comments. - `@coderabbitai configuration` to show the current CodeRabbit configuration for the repository. - `@coderabbitai help` to get help. ### Other keywords and placeholders - Add `@coderabbitai ignore` anywhere in the PR description to prevent this PR from being reviewed. - Add `@coderabbitai summary` to generate the high-level summary at a specific location in the PR description. - Add `@coderabbitai` anywhere in the PR title to generate the title automatically. ### CodeRabbit Configuration File (`.coderabbit.yaml`) - You can programmatically configure CodeRabbit by adding a `.coderabbit.yaml` file to the root of your repository. - Please see the [configuration documentation](https://docs.coderabbit.ai/guides/configure-coderabbit) for more information. - If your editor has YAML language server enabled, you can add the path at the top of this file to enable auto-completion and validation: `# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://coderabbit.ai/integrations/schema.v2.json` ### Documentation and Community - Visit our [Documentation](https://coderabbit.ai/docs) for detailed information on how to use CodeRabbit. - Join our [Discord Community](https://discord.com/invite/GsXnASn26c) to get help, request features, and share feedback. - Follow us on [X/Twitter](https://twitter.com/coderabbitai) for updates and announcements.

Hi @heyweswu , thanks for making this PR. Actually the fields referenced in the field-level rules are supposed to be automatically included. Let me check if it's actually a bug.

@ymc9 Sounds good thank you for checking. Let me know if I can help! I dug down into some generated code and found a guard function looking like this:

function User$lastName_read(input, context) {
    return (((input === null || input === void 0 ? void 0 : input.organizationId) == 'organization123'));

input if I followed correctly was being passed entity from checkReadField. And entity was always only the specific fields in a given select of a query.

For example in the below query:

db.user.findMany({
  select: {
    lastName: true
  }
})

entity would come back as:

{
  lastName: 'Smith'
}

@ymc9 another detail/question we ran into today: If we have both model level and field level policies is there a way to fall back onto the model level policy if the field level policy evaluates to false (override set to true)? Or is it that if we set override to true we need to provide all the policy logic to allow read within the field-level allow?

Hi @heyweswu , the "override" parameter allows a field to be accessed even if the entire entity cannot be accessed. It's explained in more details here: https://zenstack.dev/docs/the-complete-guide/part1/access-policy/field-level#overriding-model-level-policies There isn't a way to fall back from field-level to model-level yet. You can consider creating a github feature request for it.

Hey @heyweswu , back to the original problem, I couldn't seem to reproduce the issue with a simple project. Do you have a sharable repro project? Thanks!
