Yes, you can set a default resource based on the user's role or permissions in refine. You can use the

authProvider

authProvider

's

getPermissions()

getPermissions()

method to fetch user roles. This method is already defined for you by

@refinedev/supabase

@refinedev/supabase

@refinedev/supabase

@refinedev/supabase when you bootstrap your refine app with CLI. Here is how the default

getPermissions

getPermissions

getPermissions

getPermissions method in

authProvider

authProvider

looks like:

getPermissions: async () => {  
 const user = await supabaseClient.auth.getUser();  
  
 if (user) {  
 return user.data.user?.role;  
 }  
  
 return null;  
};

getPermissions: async () => {  
 const user = await supabaseClient.auth.getUser();  
  
 if (user) {  
 return user.data.user?.role;  
 }  
  
 return null;  
};

getPermissions: async () => {  
 const user = await supabaseClient.auth.getUser();  
  
 if (user) {  
 return user.data.user?.role;  
 }  
  
 return null;  
};

getPermissions: async () => {  
 const user = await supabaseClient.auth.getUser();  
  
 if (user) {  
 return user.data.user?.role;  
 }  
  
 return null;  
};

However, Supabase does not support setting user roles to

users

users

in the

auth.users

auth.users

table by default. So, you have to set up custom user roles. One way to implement this is with Supabase Custom Claims.

Once you have the user roles set up, you can use the Access Control feature to control the visibility of resources based on user roles. For example, in the

AccessControlProvider

AccessControlProvider

AccessControlProvider

AccessControlProvider, you can define the

can

can

can

can method to check if a user has access to a resource:

accessControlProvider={{
  can: async ({ resource, action }) => {
    let can = false;
    const role = getUserRole();

    if (role !== undefined && resource) {
      switch (role) {
        case 0:
          can = resource.startsWith('user/');
          break;
        case 2:
          can = resource.startsWith('admin/');
          break;
        default:
          console.log("Unknown Role");
          break;
      }
    }

    return Promise.resolve({ can });
  },
}}

accessControlProvider={{
  can: async ({ resource, action }) => {
    let can = false;
    const role = getUserRole();

    if (role !== undefined && resource) {
      switch (role) {
        case 0:
          can = resource.startsWith('user/');
          break;
        case 2:
          can = resource.startsWith('admin/');
          break;
        default:
          console.log("Unknown Role");
          break;
      }
    }

    return Promise.resolve({ can });
  },
}}

accessControlProvider={{
  can: async ({ resource, action }) => {
    let can = false;
    const role = getUserRole();

    if (role !== undefined && resource) {
      switch (role) {
        case 0:
          can = resource.startsWith('user/');
          break;
        case 2:
          can = resource.startsWith('admin/');
          break;
        default:
          console.log("Unknown Role");
          break;
      }
    }

    return Promise.resolve({ can });
  },
}}

accessControlProvider={{
  can: async ({ resource, action }) => {
    let can = false;
    const role = getUserRole();

    if (role !== undefined && resource) {
      switch (role) {
        case 0:
          can = resource.startsWith('user/');
          break;
        case 2:
          can = resource.startsWith('admin/');
          break;
        default:
          console.log("Unknown Role");
          break;
      }
    }

    return Promise.resolve({ can });
  },
}}

In this example, the

can

can

can

can method checks if the user's role matches the resource's prefix (either 'user/' or 'admin/'). If it does, the user has access to the resource, and the resource will be visible in the side menu.
