Hi @jenish7822. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
To set up protected routes in refine, you can use the
authProvider
and modify its checkAuth()
method to control access to specific routes. Here's an example from the extracts:
In this example, the checkAuth()
method allows access to the root route only for logged-in users. All other attempts are rejected. You can modify this method to control access to other routes based on your requirements.
For more information, you can refer to this extract: Adding CRUD Actions and Authentication > Public Routes in refine (https://refine.dev/blog/refine-pixels-3#public-routes-in-refine)

@kapa.ai I want to setup protected routes without using supabase, i want to customize it.
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To set up protected routes in refine without using Supabase, you can use the
<Authenticated>
component and the useIsAuthenticated
hook. Here's an example from the extracts:
1. First, wrap your routes with the <Authenticated>
component and provide children
and fallback
props. The children
prop contains the protected routes, and the fallback
prop specifies what to render when the user is not authenticated.
2. Use the <Outlet>
component from react-router-dom
to render your routes inside the <Authenticated>
component. This will create protected routes and render them only when the user is authenticated.
3. Create a /login
route to handle the redirection when the user is not authenticated. You can use the AuthPage
components from refine's UI packages with type="login"
prop to render the login page.
Here's an example of how your App.tsx
file might look:

@kapa.ai lets say only a specific user will have access to a url, then how can we setup those routes?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To set up routes with access control for specific users, you can use the
accessControlProvider
in refine. Here's an example of how to create an access control provider:
In this example, the can
function checks if the resource is "posts" and the action is "edit". If so, it returns can: false
and a reason for the denial. You can customize this function to check for specific user permissions or other conditions.
After defining the accessControlProvider
, provide it to the <Refine>
component:
Depending on your router, providing accessControlProvider
to the <Refine>
component won't enforce access control by itself; you may need to wrap protected routes with the <CanAccess>
component.
Refer to one of the following documentations, depending on your preferred router:
- React Router Access Control (https://refine.dev/docs/packages/documentation/routers/react-router-v6/#usage-with-access-control-providers)
- NextJS Router Access Control (https://refine.dev/docs/packages/documentation/routers/nextjs/#access-control)
- Remix Router Access Control (https://refine.dev/docs/packages/documentation/routers/remix/#access-control)
For more information, you can refer to this extract: Access Control Provider > Overview (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/providers/accessControl-provider)

@kapa.ai cant understand it really, without passing the user role and setting it up, how will refine know, which user has access or not.
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
I apologize for the confusion. You're right; the example I provided doesn't include user roles. To set up access control based on user roles, you'll need to modify the
accessControlProvider
and use the user role information in the can
function.
First, you need to fetch the user role from your authentication system. You can do this in the authProvider
's getUserIdentity
method. Here's an example:
Now, you can access the user role in the accessControlProvider
's can
function using the params
argument:
In this example, the can
function checks if the resource is "posts", the action is "edit", and the user role is not "admin". If these conditions are met, it returns can: false
and a reason for the denial. You can customize this function to check for specific user roles or other conditions.
After defining the authProvider
and accessControlProvider
, provide them to the <Refine>
component:
Finally, wrap your protected routes with the <CanAccess>
component or use the useCan
hook to enforce access control based on user roles.
For more information, you can refer to these extracts:
- Authenticated Component (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/components/auth/authenticated/)
- CanAccess Component (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/components/accessControl/can-access/)
- Access Control Provider > Overview (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/providers/accessControl-provider)

Hi, bot answers are good but i want to explain too.
with refine 4, routing is completly detached from refine and routing responsibility is on react-router, nextjs-router or remix. This means to implement protected routes in refine is no different from a normal react app.
to implements this refine provides helper components and hooks to make development easier.
i suggest you too follow our tutorial.
https://refine.dev/docs/tutorial/understanding-authprovider/index/
after Auth Provider implementation you can implement protected routes with your routing framework knowledge.
with this hook and component you can easily implement protected routes.
https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/hooks/authentication/useIsAuthenticated/
https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/components/auth/authenticated/
1. Auth Provider | refine
What is auth provider?
useIsAuthenticated | refine
useIsAuthenticated data hook from refine is a modified version of react-query's useMutation for create mutations
| refine
is the component form of useIsAuthenticated
.
