Privileges ACL

WIP: Do not use this library 'yet'.

An access control library to manage and check user privileges. This library has been build to support roles and groups out of the box.

Multiple storage mechanisms are supported or can easily be created. The Mongo and Meteor (Minimongo) storage are included by default.

Getting started

npm install --save privileges

Selecting a storage

import Privileges, {MongoStorage, MeteorStorage} from 'privileges';

// Using the mongodb storage
const MongoACL = new Privileges(MongoStorage);

// Using the Meteor storage
const MeteorACL = new Privileges(MeteorStorage);

Granting and checking privileges

Simple checking

ACL.grant('chris', 'read');

// Simple check
ACL.can('chris', 'read'); // Returns true

//Support checking multiple privileges (OR)
ACL.can('chris', ['read', 'write']); // Returns true

// Failure scenario
ACL.can('chris', 'write'); // Returns false

Component scoped checking

ACL.grant('chris', 'read', 'userList');

// Simple check
ACL.can('chris', 'read', 'userList'); // Returns true

// Fail, because the privilege is scoped to a component
ACL.can('chris', 'read'); // Returns false
