How to detect "Full Permissions" selection

English Forum Questions

Hi dear Nocobase team,

In previous versions of NocoBase, it was easy to determine whether a user was using the ‘Full permissions’ role union or a single selected role because ctx.role returned a value of __union__. However, this changed in the v2.1.12 release. Now, ctx.role returns a comma-separated list of all roles assigned to the user, making it difficult to distinguish whether ‘Full permissions’ is active or just an individual role.

Simply checking for the presence of a comma in ctx.role isn’t a secure or reliable solution since a user might only have a single role assigned to them. The alternative - comparing the ctx.role list against all roles associated with the user’s account and department - is overly complex and cannot be easily implemented within frontend block linkage rules.

Could you please recommend a clean way to handle this check? Ultimately, I need to dynamically show or hide a UI block based on whether ‘Full permissions’ is currently active.

Thanks for your feedback. I’ll take a look at the issue.

Basically, I believe that the current approach (comma-delimeted list of roles) is also useful. So it would be good if it’s possible to have a separate boolean value like ctx.isfullpermission true/false exposed instead of returning of ctx.role back to “__union__”.
