Hi @amvdxc. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- To implement role-based multitenancy in a Refine application, you can follow these steps: 1. Define Routes with Tenant IDs: Refine's routing integration allows you to define nested paths with additional parameters like tenantId. This parameter can be used in your data providers to interact with your backend. Example routes:
/admin/:tenantId/posts
/admin/:tenantId/posts/:id

/admin/:tenantId/posts
/admin/:tenantId/posts/:id

These routes will make the tenantId parameter available in the data provider. 2. Use Casbin for Role-Based Access Control: Casbin can be used to implement a Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) model. You can define roles and permissions specific to each tenant. Example from the blog:
On Day Six, we implement user role based authorization to our admin app. While doing so, we analyze the `authProvider.getPermissions()` method from the standpoint of implementing authorization and customize according to our needs. We use **Casbin** for implementing a Role Based Access Control model and use it to define the `can` method of the `accessControlProvider` provider.

3. Implement the can Method: The can method is a generic method that can be used for authorization operations. You can pass the current tenant id while querying in your can method to perform tenant-specific authorization. Example from the GitHub issue:
You can perform Authorization operations by sending the `current tenant id` while querying in your `can` method.

4. Add a Tenant Selector to the UI: To allow users to switch between tenants, you can add a tenant selector to the UI. Example code snippet:
{options.map(({ label, value }) => (
<option key={value} value={value} selected={value === tenantId}>
{label}
</option>
))}
</select>

{options.map(({ label, value }) => (
<option key={value} value={value} selected={value === tenantId}>
{label}
</option>
))}
</select>

5. Example Implementation: You can refer to the example of a multitenant app built with Refine and Strapi for a full implementation. Example link: Multitenancy with Refine + Strapi (https://refine.dev/docs/guides-concepts/multi-tenancy/#strapi) By following these steps, you can effectively integrate role-based multitenancy in your Refine application. For more detailed information, you can refer to the Refine Multitenancy Documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/guides-concepts/multi-tenancy/). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
