PermissionChecker bundle

Symfony bundle to handle authorization, i.e. check permission to perform action on a resource. This bundle is similar to the symfony voter but uses permission objects.

Configuration

# config/packages/lorem_ipsum_permission_checker.yaml 

lorem_ipsum_permission_checker:
    roles:
        admin: ROLE_ADMIN
        super_admin: ROLE_SUPER_ADMIN
    default_permission: \App\Security\Permission\AppPermission

default_permission is used by hasActionPermission twig function.

Permission example

Usage example:
Check if the current user has permission to update an existing user. Call mustHave or has on the PermissionChecker instance with the UserPermission. mustHave throws an exception if the permission is not granted, whereas has just returns a boolean.

/** @var LoremIpsum\PermissionCheckerBundle\PermissionChecker $permissionChecker **/
$permissionChecker->mustHave(new UserPermission(UserPermission::UPDATE, $user));

AppPermission example:

<?php

namespace App\Security\Permission;

use LoremIpsum\PermissionCheckerBundle\Permission\AbstractPermission;
use LoremIpsum\PermissionCheckerBundle\Exception\InvalidPermissionException;

class AppPermission extends AbstractPermission
{
    const SETTINGS = 'settings';
    
    public function isGranted(): bool
    {
        switch ($this->getAction()) {
            case self::SETTINGS:
                return $this->checker->isAdmin();
        }
        throw new InvalidPermissionException($this, "Invalid action '{$this->getAction()}'");
    }
}

UserPermission example:

<?php

namespace App\Security\Permission;

use App\Entity\User;
use LoremIpsum\PermissionCheckerBundle\Permission\AbstractPermission;
use LoremIpsum\PermissionCheckerBundle\Exception\InvalidPermissionException;

class UserPermission extends AbstractPermission
{
    const CREATE = 'create';
    const READ = 'read';
    const UPDATE = 'update';
    const DELETE = 'delete';
    const CHANGE_PASSWORD = 'change_password';

    private $user;

    public function __construct($action, User $user)
    {
        parent::__construct($action);
        $this->user = $user;
    }

    public function isGranted(): bool
    {
        switch ($this->getAction()) {
            case self::READ:
                // All users can view other users
                return true;
            case self::CHANGE_PASSWORD:
                // Admins can change passwords, users can change their own password 
                return $this->checker->isAdmin() || $this->checker->getUser() === $this->user;
            case self::CREATE:
            case self::UPDATE:
            case self::DELETE:
                // Admins can create/update/delete users
                return $this->checker->isAdmin();
        }

        throw new InvalidPermissionException($this, "Invalid action '{$this->getAction()}'");
    }
}
