Hi @Juncture. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- It seems like you are experiencing an issue where the Sider menu is not displaying any items except for the logout button, despite having set up access control. Based on the knowledge sources provided, here are a few steps and considerations to help you troubleshoot and resolve this issue: 1. Ensure Access Control Configuration: Make sure your AccessControlProvider is correctly configured. Here is an example configuration:

   export const accessControlProvider: AccessControlProvider = {
       can: async ({ resource, action, params }) => {
           const roles = (await authProvider.getPermissions?.() as string[]) || [];
           if (resource === "User") {
               return {
                   can: roles.includes('admin'),
                   reason: "Unauthorized",
               };
           }
           return { can: true };
       },
       options: {
           buttons: {
               enableAccessControl: true,
               hideIfUnauthorized: true,
           },
       },
   };

   export const accessControlProvider: AccessControlProvider = {
       can: async ({ resource, action, params }) => {
           const roles = (await authProvider.getPermissions?.() as string[]) || [];
           if (resource === "User") {
               return {
                   can: roles.includes('admin'),
                   reason: "Unauthorized",
               };
           }
           return { can: true };
       },
       options: {
           buttons: {
               enableAccessControl: true,
               hideIfUnauthorized: true,
           },
       },
   };

Make sure that the can method is correctly returning the permissions for the resources. 2. Check Sider Integration: According to the documentation, the Sider component's menu items should automatically be hidden if the user does not have access. Ensure that your Sider component is correctly set up to use the render property if you are customizing it. Here is an example of how to use the render property of the <Sider> component:

   import { Layout, Sider } from "@refinedev/antd";
const CustomSider = () => {  
     return (  
       <Sider  
         render={({ items, logout }) => {  
           return (  
             <>  
               <a href="<https://refine.dev/">👋> Navigation Link</a>  
               {items}  
               {logout}  
             </>  
           );  
         }}  
       />  
     );  
   };  

   const CustomLayout = () => {  
     return <Layout Sider={CustomSider}>...</Layout>;  
   };

   import { Layout, Sider } from "@refinedev/antd";
const CustomSider = () => {  
     return (  
       <Sider  
         render={({ items, logout }) => {  
           return (  
             <>  
               <a href="<https://refine.dev/">👋> Navigation Link</a>  
               {items}  
               {logout}  
             </>  
           );  
         }}  
       />  
     );  
   };  

   const CustomLayout = () => {  
     return <Layout Sider={CustomSider}>...</Layout>;  
   };

This setup ensures that the Sider component renders the items and the logout button. 3. Verify Resource Permissions: Ensure that the resources you expect to see in the Sider have the correct permissions set. For example, if you have a products resource, the can method should be called with { resource: "products", action: "list" }.

   { resource: "products", action: "list" }

   { resource: "products", action: "list" }

If the user is not allowed to list the products, the menu item will be hidden. 4. Debugging: Add some console logs in your can method to verify that it is being called with the correct parameters and returning the expected results.

   export const accessControlProvider: AccessControlProvider = {
       can: async ({ resource, action, params }) => {
           const roles = (await authProvider.getPermissions?.() as string[]) || [];
           console.log("Checking permissions for:", resource, action);
           if (resource === "User") {
               return {
                   can: roles.includes('admin'),
                   reason: "Unauthorized",
               };
           }
           return { can: true };
       },
       options: {
           buttons: {
               enableAccessControl: true,
               hideIfUnauthorized: true,
           },
       },
   };

   export const accessControlProvider: AccessControlProvider = {
       can: async ({ resource, action, params }) => {
           const roles = (await authProvider.getPermissions?.() as string[]) || [];
           console.log("Checking permissions for:", resource, action);
           if (resource === "User") {
               return {
                   can: roles.includes('admin'),
                   reason: "Unauthorized",
               };
           }
           return { can: true };
       },
       options: {
           buttons: {
               enableAccessControl: true,
               hideIfUnauthorized: true,
           },
       },
   };

By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue with the Sider menu not displaying the expected items. If the problem persists, you may want to refer to the [Refine documentation on Sider](https://refine.dev/docs/guides-con ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

I check it with usecan, and it seems access control provider works successfully. But CanAccess component wont @kapa.ai

kapa.ai•4mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- If the useCan hook works successfully but the <CanAccess> component does not, there might be an issue with how the <CanAccess> component is being used or configured. Here are some steps to ensure that the <CanAccess> component is set up correctly: 1. Ensure Correct Usage of <CanAccess>: The <CanAccess> component should be used to wrap the components or elements that require access control. Here is an example of how to use it:

   import { CanAccess } from "@refinedev/core";

   const MyComponent = () => {
     return (
       <CanAccess
         resource="posts"
         action="edit"
         params={{ id: 1 }}
         fallback={<div>Access Denied</div>}
         queryOptions={{ cacheTime: 25000 }}
       >
         <YourComponent />
       </CanAccess>
     );
   };

   import { CanAccess } from "@refinedev/core";

   const MyComponent = () => {
     return (
       <CanAccess
         resource="posts"
         action="edit"
         params={{ id: 1 }}
         fallback={<div>Access Denied</div>}
         queryOptions={{ cacheTime: 25000 }}
       >
         <YourComponent />
       </CanAccess>
     );
   };

Ensure that the resource, action, and params props are correctly set to match the permissions you are checking. 2. Check Fallback Prop: If the access control check fails, the fallback prop will be rendered. Ensure that you have provided a fallback prop if you want to display a specific message or component when access is denied.

   <CanAccess
     resource="posts"
     action="edit"
     params={{ id: 1 }}
     fallback={<div>Access Denied</div>}
   >
     <YourComponent />
   </CanAccess>

   <CanAccess
     resource="posts"
     action="edit"
     params={{ id: 1 }}
     fallback={<div>Access Denied</div>}
   >
     <YourComponent />
   </CanAccess>

3. Verify Query Options: The <CanAccess> component can accept queryOptions to configure caching and other query behaviors. Ensure that these options are correctly set if you are using them.

   <CanAccess
     resource="posts"
     action="edit"
     params={{ id: 1 }}
     queryOptions={{ cacheTime: 25000 }}
   >
     <YourComponent />
   </CanAccess>

   <CanAccess
     resource="posts"
     action="edit"
     params={{ id: 1 }}
     queryOptions={{ cacheTime: 25000 }}
   >
     <YourComponent />
   </CanAccess>

4. Debugging: Add some console logs inside the <CanAccess> component to verify that it is being called with the correct parameters and returning the expected results.

   import { CanAccess } from "@refinedev/core";

   const MyComponent = () => {
     return (
       <CanAccess
         resource="posts"
         action="edit"
         params={{ id: 1 }}
         fallback={<div>Access Denied</div>}
         queryOptions={{ cacheTime: 25000 }}
       >
         {({ can }) => {
           console.log("Can access:", can);
           return can ? <YourComponent /> : <div>Access Denied</div>;
         }}
       </CanAccess>
     );
   };

   import { CanAccess } from "@refinedev/core";

   const MyComponent = () => {
     return (
       <CanAccess
         resource="posts"
         action="edit"
         params={{ id: 1 }}
         fallback={<div>Access Denied</div>}
         queryOptions={{ cacheTime: 25000 }}
       >
         {({ can }) => {
           console.log("Can access:", can);
           return can ? <YourComponent /> : <div>Access Denied</div>;
         }}
       </CanAccess>
     );
   };

By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue with the <CanAccess> component not working as expected. If the problem persists, you may want to refer to the Refine documentation on <CanAccess> (https://refine.dev/docs/authorization/components/can-access/) for more details. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

I want to use 4. solution but i get "ype '({ can }: { can: any; }) => Element' is not assignable to type 'ReactNode'.ts(2322)" @kapa.ai

kapa.ai•4mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- To use the fourth solution and avoid the TypeScript error, you need to ensure that the children prop of the <CanAccess> component is a valid React node. The error you're encountering is because the children prop is expected to be a ReactNode, not a function. Here's how you can modify the code to use a render prop pattern correctly:

import { CanAccess } from "@refinedev/core";

const MyComponent = () => {
  return (
    <CanAccess
      resource="posts"
      action="edit"
      params={{ id: 1 }}
      fallback={<div>Access Denied</div>}
      queryOptions={{ cacheTime: 25000 }}
    >
      {(accessControl) => {
        console.log("Can access:", accessControl.can);
        return accessControl.can ? <YourComponent /> : <div>Access Denied</div>;
      }}
    </CanAccess>
  );
};

import { CanAccess } from "@refinedev/core";

const MyComponent = () => {
  return (
    <CanAccess
      resource="posts"
      action="edit"
      params={{ id: 1 }}
      fallback={<div>Access Denied</div>}
      queryOptions={{ cacheTime: 25000 }}
    >
      {(accessControl) => {
        console.log("Can access:", accessControl.can);
        return accessControl.can ? <YourComponent /> : <div>Access Denied</div>;
      }}
    </CanAccess>
  );
};

In this example, the children prop of <CanAccess> is a function that receives the access control result and returns a React node. This pattern ensures that the children prop is a valid React node, thus avoiding the TypeScript error. If you need more information, you can refer to the Refine documentation on <CanAccess> (https://refine.dev/docs/authorization/components/can-access/). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

Still get same error @kapa.ai

kapa.ai•4mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- To resolve the TypeScript error and correctly use the <CanAccess> component with a render prop pattern, you need to ensure that the children prop is a valid React node. Unfortunately, the <CanAccess> component does not support a render prop pattern directly. Instead, you can use conditional rendering based on the result of the useCan hook. Here is an example of how to achieve this: 1. Using useCan Hook: You can use the useCan hook to check permissions and conditionally render components based on the result.

   import React from "react";
   import { useCan } from "@refinedev/core";

   const MyComponent = () => {
     const { data: canAccess } = useCan({
       resource: "posts",
       action: "edit",
       params: { id: 1 },
     });

     console.log("Can access:", canAccess?.can);

     if (canAccess?.can) {
       return <YourComponent />;
     } else {
       return <div>Access Denied</div>;
     }
   };

   export default MyComponent;

   import React from "react";
   import { useCan } from "@refinedev/core";

   const MyComponent = () => {
     const { data: canAccess } = useCan({
       resource: "posts",
       action: "edit",
       params: { id: 1 },
     });

     console.log("Can access:", canAccess?.can);

     if (canAccess?.can) {
       return <YourComponent />;
     } else {
       return <div>Access Denied</div>;
     }
   };

   export default MyComponent;

2. Using <CanAccess> Component: If you prefer to use the <CanAccess> component, ensure that you are using it correctly without a render prop pattern. Here is an example:

   import React from "react";
   import { CanAccess } from "@refinedev/core";

   const MyComponent = () => {
     return (
       <CanAccess
         resource="posts"
         action="edit"
         params={{ id: 1 }}
         fallback={<div>Access Denied</div>}
       >
         <YourComponent />
       </CanAccess>
     );
   };

   export default MyComponent;

   import React from "react";
   import { CanAccess } from "@refinedev/core";

   const MyComponent = () => {
     return (
       <CanAccess
         resource="posts"
         action="edit"
         params={{ id: 1 }}
         fallback={<div>Access Denied</div>}
       >
         <YourComponent />
       </CanAccess>
     );
   };

   export default MyComponent;

In this example, the <CanAccess> component directly wraps the YourComponent and uses the fallback prop to display a message if access is denied. By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue and correctly implement access control in your application. If you need more information, you can refer to the Refine documentation on <CanAccess> (https://refine.dev/docs/authorization/components/can-access/). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

Okay i change sider code so i can hide left menu by permission. CanAccess won't work right because for example if you got "Definition" parent and 2 child of it, and if you cannot permit to see theese 2 child, you can still see Definition parent.
