QUESTION
I am executing the following script, node acl.js:
acl.js
...ANSWER
Answered 2017-Nov-19 at 20:03When you run knex migrate:latest and knex seed:run, it works because your file knexfile.js is located at the same level as your file .env in your file system. That means your environment variables is correctly imported.
Is your file acl.js at the same level ? If not, maybe you should run node /path/to/acl.jsfrom the .env level.
QUESTION
Hi please can anyone help me. I want user to be able to access only what they are permitted to access.
I have been looking at several Access Control List packages. I have not made a final decision.
A restaurant which would have several levels of permission.
The customer can place several orders and can see what foods he has ordered
He can also modify the order only within a specified time period e.g. before the order is being processed.
The customer can only view his own order and the stage which the order is.
A staff can only check the order than is under his menu and state how much the order would cost and how long the order would take.
Another staff would be in charge of the stores and how things goes in and goes out.
A Staff can be in charge of a department and at the same time allow input to a menu which is under another department.
I have been looking at how I can go about putting this into Express.js and mongodb
I have looked at the following
https://github.com/optimalbits/node_acl main focus
https://www.npmjs.com/package/acl https://www.npmjs.com/package/express-acl
But I have not got the granularity and the mix which I stated above.
The permission would be based majorly on data. It has been a little confusing as to how I can go about that.
Any help will be useful
I use mongoose as my driver
...ANSWER
Answered 2018-Dec-07 at 17:43As I said in my comments, this design has a bit of business logic that might make it not the best fit for regular ACL-type security controls. On the surface, it seems like the easier to figure out solution would be to just implement your business rules in your Mongoose models or Controller code, depending on your preference. That said, a key piece of doing any of this with an ACL-like approach comes down to your URL design. For example, it's tempting to make your API such that all orders are available through /api/orders and maybe a person would query their own orders via /api/orders?userId=12345. But that makes most ACL-based approaches fail. Instead you have to think about the API in terms of the hierarchy as you want it secured (regardless of if all orders are stored in the Orders Mongoose model, and persist in the orders collection).
So using your first requirement as an example
The customer can place several orders and can see what foods he has ordered
The focus here is that you are securing things by the customer 'owner' of the orders, so to secure it that way you need to setup your route that way, eg (assuming you're using the first middleware you asked about):

QUESTION
In my express app I am implementing ACL using node_acl
my acl.js looks like:
...ANSWER
Answered 2018-Jul-20 at 06:26As you said yourself, mongoose.connect takes some time and therefore it accepts a callback function to be executed once it's finished, which you have been using already.
Within that callback function you create the acl ressource and that means anything using the acl variable also has to be executed from within that callback (either directly or indirectly). So in your case you would have to do something like this:
acl.js
QUESTION
I am using Node_ACL, for authorization purpose it is working fine but whenever any request gets denied it generates 500 Internal Server Error but it should show 403 Access denied error. I already looked into its proper installation and setting but I didn't find any solution.
I am using it with Express js as a middleware. I am not sure who is causing the 500 Internal Server Error. I mean I have used Node-ACL as a middleware in Express js. Whenever a client makes any request the Node ALC authenticate it first and then give access to the particular resource. So when the authorization gets failed, the 500 Internal Server Error is coming to the client from the server. So Express can also be the reason because it's middleware is getting failed. I am not sure what to do.
Please help. Thanks.

Using POSTMAN I did a POST on /login?username=user&password=user
After that I did a GET on `/status' and I got
