Getting permissions by defined Role

See original GitHub issue

Is it possible to get the array of permissions from a defined role? After login I’ve only got access to the role name from the authenticated user. (developer, seo, accountant, …)


var permissions = [

    // dashboard
    "dashboard",

    // catalog
    "product-list",
    "product-edit",
    "stock-list",
    "category-list",
    "manufacturer-list",
    "manufacturer-edit",
    "producttype-list",
    "producttype-edit",
    "specification-list",
    "specification-edit",

    // sales
    "invoice-list",
    "invoice-edit",
    "order-list",
    "order-edit",
    "quote-list",
    "quote-edit",

    // customers
    "customer-list",
    "customer-edit",

    // tools
    "seo-edit",
    "sync-list",

    // warehouse
    "warehouse-location-list",
    "warehouse-stock-report"
];

PermissionStore.defineManyPermissions(permissions, function (permissionName, transitionProperties) {
     return authService.checkUserPermissions(permissionName);
});

RoleStore.defineRole("developer", function() { return true; });
RoleStore.defineRole("seo", ["dashboard", "seo-list"]);
RoleStore.defineRole("accountant", ["dashboard", "customer-list", "customer-edit"]);

function checkUserPermissions(permissionName) {

    if (auth.isAuthenticated) {

        if (common.isNotEmpty(auth.profile)) {

            var roles = _.toArray(auth.profile.roles);
            var permissions = [];

            roles.forEach(function(role) {

                // GET THE PERMISSONS FOR THIS ROLE

            });

            return _.contains(permissions, permissionName);
        }

    }

    return false;
}
