This package provides an interface for checking if certain user has certain permission. Optional parameters could be passed for fine-grained access checks. Additionally, DenyAll and AllowAll implementations are available out of the box.

Requirements

  • PHP 8.0 - 8.5.

Installation

The package could be installed with Composer:

composer require yiisoft/access

General usage

An access checker such as RBAC implements the interface. A user identity may use it then for checking access:

use Yiisoft\Access\AccessCheckerInterface;

class UserService
{
 private AccessCheckerInterface $accessChecker;
 
 public function __construct(AccessCheckerInterface $accessChecker)
 {
 $this->accessChecker = $accessChecker;
 }
 
 public function can(string $permissionName, array $parameters = []): bool
 {
 return $this->accessChecker->userHasPermission(
 $this
 ->getCurrentUser()
 ->getId(),
 $permissionName,
 $parameters
 );
 }
 
 public function getCurrentUser(): User
 {
 // ...
 }
}

In the handler it may look like the following:

public function actionList(UserService $userService)
{
 if (!$userService->can('list_posts')) {
 // access denied
 }

 // list posts
}
