@serenity-is/corelib / Authorization / hasPermission

Function: hasPermission()

hasPermission(permission): boolean

Defined in: src/base/authorization.ts:48

Synchronously checks whether the current user has the specified permission.

Parameters

permission

string

Permission key or expression. May contain & (AND) and | (OR) operators, e.g. "A&B|C". null/undefined returns false; "*" returns true; "" or "?" returns whether the user is logged in.

Returns

boolean

true if the user has the permission (or is an admin), otherwise false.

Remarks

Prefer Authorization.hasPermissionAsync in new code — this synchronous variant may block the UI thread if the UserData script has not been loaded yet (it falls back to getRemoteData which can issue a synchronous request). Use only for UI gating; always enforce permissions server-side as well.

Examples

Authorization.hasPermission("Administration:General"); // true if admin or granted

Authorization.hasPermission("A&B|C"); // true if (A and B) or C
