README

This is a fork of the Yii 2 RBAC extension by JustCoded. It extends the RBAC Manager with a route-based access control system, offering additional features and compatibility with modern PHP versions.

Features

Pre-defined Roles and Permissions

The extension provides the following pre-defined roles and permissions:

Permissions:

• * (master permission): A parent permission for all other permissions.
• administer: Permission to check access to the admin panel.

Roles:

• Guest: Not authenticated users.
• Authenticated: Authenticated users (add this to your users manually).
• Administrator: Users with administer permission, granting access to the admin panel.
• Master: Superuser role with access to everything via * permission.

Routes Scanner

The extension includes a feature to scan your project files and automatically import permissions for:

• Controller-wide permissions: {controller->uniqueId}/*
• Action-specific permissions: {controller->uniqueId}/{action->id}

You can create or assign roles and permissions to configure your application's high-level access control.

Route Access Filter

Easily restrict access to specific parts of your site based on roles or permissions. The extension provides a filter similar to Yii's AccessControl, enabling route-based permissions checks. If access is denied, a 403 Forbidden error is triggered.

GUI for Managing Roles and Permissions

A simple GUI is included to manage roles and permissions directly from the application.

Note: The GUI is in alpha. Avoid sharing access to this interface with end-users.

Installation

Install the extension via Composer:

composer require deadmantfa/yii2-rbac

Alternatively, add the following to your composer.json:

"deadmantfa/yii2-rbac": "*"

Configuration

Component Setup

Add the RBAC module and authManager configuration in your application:

'modules' => [
    'rbac' => [
        'class' => 'deadmantfa\yii2\rbac\Module',
    ],
],
'components' => [
    'authManager' => [
        'class' => 'deadmantfa\yii2\rbac\components\DbManager',
        //'class' => 'deadmantfa\yii2\rbac\components\PhpManager',
    ],
],

Bootstrap 4 Themes Support

By default, the views use Bootstrap 3 via yii2-bootstrap. For Bootstrap 4 support, update the container configuration:

'container' => [
    'definitions' => [
        'deadmantfa\yii2\rbac\widgets\RbacGridView' => [
            'class' => \app\modules\admin\widgets\RbacGridView::class,
        ],
        'deadmantfa\yii2\rbac\widgets\RbacActiveForm' => [
            'class' => \yii\bootstrap4\ActiveForm::class,
        ],
    ],
],

Note: Add yiisoft/yii2-bootstrap4 to your composer.json.

Basic RBAC Configuration

Follow the official Yii 2 RBAC documentation to configure RBAC storage (e.g., create necessary files or database tables).

For DbManager, initialize the database tables with the following migration command:

yii migrate --migrationPath=@yii/rbac/migrations

Initialize Base Roles

Run the following commands to set up default roles and permissions:

# Initialize base roles and permissions
php yii rbac/init

# Assign the master role to a user (replace 1 with the user ID)
php yii rbac/assign-master 1

# Scan application routes for permissions
php yii rbac/scan

For Advanced Template:

php yii rbac/scan -p='@vendor/deadmantfa/yii2-rbac' -b='rbac/'

For Basic Template:

php yii rbac/scan -p='@vendor/deadmantfa/yii2-rbac' -b='admin/rbac/'

Usage

GUI Interface

Access the RBAC GUI by navigating to the module's configured route. Use the GUI to manage roles and permissions.

Note: The role-permission selector is a temporary solution and may not display a proper tree structure. This will be addressed in future updates.

Route Access Filter

Use the RouteAccessControl filter to enforce route-based access control. The filter checks permissions during each request and throws a 403 Forbidden error for unauthorized routes.

Per Controller

public function behaviors()
{
    return [
        'routeAccess' => [
            'class' => 'deadmantfa\yii2\rbac\filters\RouteAccessControl',
        ],
    ];
}

Globally

'as routeAccess' => [
    'class' => 'deadmantfa\yii2\rbac\filters\RouteAccessControl',
    'allowActions' => [
        'site/*',
    ],
    'allowRegexp' => '/(gii)/i', // Optional
],
