User Roles Assignment

Using Node.js SDK API

ℹ️

Before you can use these APIs, please install the ROQ's Node.js SDK

Assign Roles

To assign a user for roles using ROQ's Node.js SDK API, you can use the assignRolesToUser() (opens in a new tab), which needs userId and roleKeys parameters.

You can query the user id using users() (opens in a new tab) and available roles using the roles() (opens in a new tab) API.

For example, to get all available roles as a Super Admin:

const rolesAvailable = await roqClient.asSuperAdmin().roles({
	limit: 10,
	withUserCount: true
})

You will get all available roles on the ROQ platform:

[
  {
    id: '59a0e1f7-19d3-42ee-9a10-8ab9030568ad',
    reference: null,
    description: '',
    isSystemManaged: false,
    key: 'marketing',
    name: 'Marketing',
    users: { totalCount: 1 }
  },
  {
    id: 'f2b0f40b-b43e-4a76-875c-5b5e84c81cb4',
    reference: null,
    description: '',
    isSystemManaged: false,
    key: 'content-creator',
    name: 'Content Creator',
    users: { totalCount: 1 }
  },
  {
    id: '7f013fcd-44a3-448a-8164-f3a90e5ff2c9',
    reference: null,
    description: 'Role for managing platform services',
    isSystemManaged: true,
    key: 'global_platform_admin',
    name: 'Global Platform Admin',
    users: { totalCount: 0 }
  }
]

Let's say that we want to assign a Marketing role to a user with id 7877d2d0-dea7-473e-a158-57eca3123906. From the output above, the key we are using is marketing:

const assignStatus = await roqClient.asSuperAdmin().assignRolesToUser({
	userId: "7877d2d0-dea7-473e-a158-57eca3123906",
	roleKeys: ["marketing"]
})

assignStatus in the code above will return { assignRolesToUser: true } if it succeeds and will return an exception otherwise. You can assign more roles to a user, just add a role into the roleKeys array.

To check the new roles assigned, we can use the user() (opens in a new tab) method with the withRoles option set to true:

const userData = await roqClient.asSuperAdmin().user({
	id: "7877d2d0-dea7-473e-a158-57eca3123906",
	withRoles: true
})
 
console.log(userData.user.roles.data)

Unassign Roles

Unassign roles from a user can be done via API using the unassignRolesFromUser() (opens in a new tab). This method has the same parameters with assignRolesToUser() API which are userId and roleKeys.

For example, to unassign a Marketing role from a user with an id 7877d2d0-dea7-473e-a158-57eca3123906:

const unassignStatus = await roqClient.asSuperAdmin().unassignRolesFromUser({
	userId: "7877d2d0-dea7-473e-a158-57eca3123906",
	roleKeys: ["marketing"]
})

The unassignStatus above will return { unassignRolesFromUser: true } if the removal succeeds and will raise an exception if the role doesn't exist.
