How can I restrict File Management Module file/directory access to the user that created the file/directory? #6532

When User A accesses the File Management component in the Angular UI, User A can see files and directories created by User B.

I want to restrict User A to just User A's files and I tried applying an AbpQueryFilter, but it is not working. I use this approach with my own/custom entities successfully, but the filter has no effect on ABP module entities.

I specifically modified MyAppDbContext.cs as follows: protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder builder) { //..... generated code .... // --- custom code ----

 builder.Entity<FileDescriptor>(b =>
{
    b.HasAbpQueryFilter(t =>  (t.CreatorId.Value == _currentUser.Id);
});
    

builder.Entity<DirectoryDescriptor>(b =>
    {
       b.HasAbpQueryFilter(t =>  (t.CreatorId.Value == _currentUser.Id);
    });

NOTE: _currentUser is CurrentUser injected.

  • ABP Framework version: v7.4.5
  • UI Type: Angular
  • Database System: EF Core PostgreSQL,
  • Tiered (for MVC) or Auth Server Separated (for Angular): no
  • Exception message and full stack trace: n/a
  • Steps to reproduce the issue: Use the File Management Component in Angular UI

Please advise. Thanks!

    hi

    You can try to replace the IFileManagementDbContext(FileManagementDbContext) in your MyAppDbContext

    Just like the the [ReplaceDbContext(typeof(IIdentityProDbContext))] and [ReplaceDbContext(typeof(ISaasDbContext))]

    Then, add a custom global filter.
