Hiding a button in the List (MUI)
What is the cleanest way to hide (not disable) create button on <List> if user is not authorized? I am using roles and if user is not authorized, button is disabled. I don't want it disabled, I want it hidden.

Hi @beg1c. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
In refine, you can use the
accessControl
prop to hide a button when the user does not have the permission to access the resource. This prop can be used with the hideIfUnauthorized
property set to true
. This is relevant only when an accessControlProvider
is provided to <Refine/>
.
Here is an example of how you can hide the CreateButton
in Material UI:
In this example, the CreateButton
will be hidden if the user is not authorized to access the resource.
Please note that the accessControl
prop is used to skip the access control check with its enabled
property. If you set enabled
to false
, the access control check will not be skipped.
For more information, you can refer to the refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/material-ui/components/buttons/create-button#accesscontrol).

@kapa.ai <List></List> Already contains CreateButton, do I have to swizzle it or can I pass it some property to hide it instead of disable?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
In the
<List>
component, you can control the visibility of the create button using the canCreate
prop. This prop allows you to add or remove the create button inside the <List>
component. If a resource is passed a create component, Refine adds the create button by default.
If you want to hide the create button based on user permissions, you can use the canCreate
prop like this:
In this example, the create button will only be visible if the user has the "admin" permission.
For more information, you can refer to the refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/material-ui/components/basic-views/list#cancreate-and-createbuttonprops).

@kapa.ai I am using accessControlProvider with roles, how can I catch it's data about permissions instead of calling usePermissions?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The
accessControlProvider
in Refine provides an agnostic API to manage access control throughout your app. It should have an asynchronous method named can
to check if a desired access will be granted. However, it doesn't directly provide user permissions.
The getPermissions
method from the authProvider
is used to fetch user permissions. If you want to get user permissions, you should use the usePermissions
hook. This hook calls the getPermissions
method from the authProvider
under the hood and returns the user's permissions.
Here is an example of how you can use the usePermissions
hook:
In this example, the usePermissions
hook is used to check if the user has the "admin" permission.
For more information, you can refer to the refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/authentication/hooks/use-permissions/).

@kapa.ai I am passing accessControlProvider={accessControlProvider} in App.tsx to <Refine />. Can I access it's value in component so that I don't have to write extra logic while using usePermissions();?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The
accessControlProvider
prop in the <Refine />
component is used to manage access control throughout your app. It doesn't directly provide user permissions, but it can be used to determine if a user can perform a certain action on a resource.
The accessControlProvider
should have an asynchronous method named can
that takes a resource
, action
, and params
as arguments and returns a CanResponse
. This method is used to determine if a user can perform a certain action on a resource.
Here is an example of how you can define an accessControlProvider
:
In this example, the can
method checks if the user can block other users. If the resource
is "users" and the action
is "block", the method returns { can: false }
, which means the user cannot block other users. Otherwise, it returns { can: true }
, which means the user can perform the action.
However, the accessControlProvider
doesn't directly provide user permissions. If you want to get user permissions, you should use the usePermissions
hook. This hook calls the getPermissions
method from the authProvider
under the hood and returns the user's permissions.
For more information, you can refer to the refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/authorization/access-control-provider).

I solved the problem and hid create button by adding:
const { data } = useCan({
resource: "resource",
action: "create",
});
And declaring list with:
<List
canCreate={data?.can}
>
