Adding Basic Access Control

Bloqs provides a simple way to set up basic access control for your application. This lets you manage tenants and users through the app UI.

Example

var accessControl = new MenuItem { Name = "Access control" };

builder.AddBasicAccessControl<User, Tenant>(globalStorage, accessControl);

Explanation

• .AddBasicAccessControl<User, Tenant> – Enables basic tenant and user management.

• User – Your own class that inherits from the Bloqs base User class (or the class itself).

• Tenant – Your own class that inherits from the standard Bloqs Tenant class (or the class itself).

• globalStorage – A global data storage where tenants and users are stored and managed.

• accessControl – A menu item in the left drawer under which the access control pages will appear.

Sample User Class

Here’s an example of creating your own User class by inheriting from the Bloqs base user type:

using Bloqs.App.Engine.AccessControl;

namespace Templates.SampleApp.Models.Global;

public class UserAccount : User
{
    public bool CanCreateActivities { get; set; } = true;
}

This custom UserAccount class extends the default Bloqs User and adds a simple property for permissions.

Important Notes

• Global storage is required because tenants and users must be managed centrally.

• The relationship between tenants and users (for example, which users belong to which tenants) is up to you to implement.

• This feature provides the basic UI and CRUD pages needed to manage tenants and users, but you can extend it with your own rules and authorization logic.
