Moving to Redis server and dynamic permissions allowed us to simplify the process of Role / Permission management. So now Redis cache contains permissions of all the running solutions.

However, one problem remained: localization. One of the solutions contains Role / Permission management page which displays ALL the permissions. But each permission localized name resides in the corresponding solution. We don't want to move the permission localization to a separate project.

The most simple way to resolve this would be to consume all the solutions' Domain.Shared projects:

    options.Resources
        .Add<PermissionManagementResource>("en")
        .AddBaseTypes(typeof(SolutionAResource), typeof(SolutionBResource), typeof(SolutionCResource))

But it would create a coupling we want to avoid. We might have a new solution D in future - which means we will have to modify the code above again.

The question is - what is an alternative way to have localization from all the solutions always actual, but still be able to do search by a localized name after receiving the permissions from all the solutions using

    var permissionListResultDto = await _permissionAppService.GetAsync(RolePermissionValueProvider.ProviderName, role.Name);
    

?

    Hi,

    You can specify localized resource names for permissions

    myGroup.AddPermission("test", LocalizableString.Create("MyPermission1", "PermissionResource"));

    I do have localization for permissions, but the translations are stored in the resource files (in Domain.Shared project) of the respective applications: A, B, C. So to show the display names of all of them on a central Permission Management page, I need to retrieve the translations from those projects.

    And to my knowledge, there are only two options here:

    1. to consume all the resources (i.e. Domain.Shared projects - which are now published as Nuget package) in the solution where the Permission Management page is;
    2. make an API call to A, B, C solutions endpoints to retrieve resources on the Permission Management page and map them on resource keys on front-end side;

    I don't like variant #1 because of the reasons described previously. And I don't like variant #2 much either, because there could be a lot of excessive data - /api/abp/application-localization endpoint only accepts the language parameter, no any resource key mask...

    I thought that maybe there's a better way?

    I cannot hardcode display name of the permission in the property, if this is what you meant, because I have a multi-language app, so the permission display name needs to be changed depending on the current UI language.

    Unfortunately there is no better way

    Well, maybe Ocelot Gateway project would help it? Will it work to merge localizations from all running sites (i.e. merge the "application-localization" endpoints results) and finally get the full list at the site with Role Management page, will the page "see" all those?

    Hi,

    You should put the localization files in the same project
