redis-authorization

A simple level based authorization system built on redis.

Instalation

I always recomend you bundle your dependencies with your application. To do this, create a package.json file in the root of your project with the minimum information...

{
  "name": "yourapplication",
  "verson": "0.1.0",
  "dependencies": {
    "redis-authorization": "0.3.0"
  }
}

Then run the following command using npm...

npm install

OR, if you just want to start playing with the library run...

npm install redis-authorization

Docs

require redis-authorization and pass in a redis (or nedis) client.

var redis  = require("redis")
var client = redis.createClient() 
var auth   = require("redis-authorization")(client) 

grant(resource, user, level, callback)

Adds a user to a resource at a specified auhtorization level.

auth.grant("project:12", "uid:7", 3, function(reply){
  console.log(reply) // returns true
})

revoke(resource, user, callback)

Removes user from having access to a resource.

auth.revoke("project:12", "uid:7", function(reply){
  console.log(reply) // returns true
})

authorizations(resource, callback)

Takes a resource and a callback and return the users that have acces to the resource with thier permission level.

auth.authorzations("project:12", function(reply){
  console.log(reply)
  // returns
  // {
  //   "uid:88": 3,
  //   "uid:49": 1,
  //   "uid:18": 2,
  //   "uid:73": 2
  // }
})

authorizationsByLevel(resource, callback)

Same as auhtorizations() but returns object by permissions level.

auth.authorzationsByLevel("project:12", function(reply){
  console.log(reply)
  // returns
  // {
  //   1: [ "uid:49" ],
  //   2: [ "uid:18", "uid:73" ],
  //   3: [ "uid:88" ]
  // }
})

permissions(user, callback)

Accepts a user and returns all the resources along with permission level.

auth.permissions("uid:27", function(reply){
  console.log(reply)
  // returns
  // {
  //   "project:4": 3,
  //   "project:7": 1,
  //   "project:6": 2,
  //   "project:2": 2
  // }
}) 

auth.permissionsByLevel(user, callback)

Similar to permissions() but returns users permissions by level.

auth.permissionsByLevel("uid:27", function(reply){
  console.log(reply)
  // returns
  // {
  //   1: [ "project:7" ],
  //   2: [ "project:6", "project:2" ],
  //   3: [ "project:4" ]
  // }
})
