Hello, our tenant will be obtained from an external form for our project. When the tenant is included in the system, a default edition assignment will be made, and we will want to control the permission statuses of this tenant. In the current scenario, we are conducting our tests by adding a tenant through the admin panel without using an external form and assigning the edition we created to this tenant.

Regarding the problem we are experiencing;

When a tenant is added to the system, role assignments are made by default. When there is no distinction in permissions for these role assignments (MultiTenancySide or RequiredFeature), all permissions are assigned to this role. However, we only want to assign permissions that contain features valid for editions assigned to the tenant to that tenant. For this reason, we use the RequiredFeature property, which you mentioned is available for permissions, to establish the connection between permissions and features. However, in this case, we encounter the following situation. We assign the edition we created with the desired features to the tenant. Afterwards, when we log into the system with the tenant assigned to the edition, we cannot access the menus included in the edition. Upon checking, we see that no record has been added to the PermissionGrant table. However, we noticed that if, for example, the Category permission exists and the project runs without adding the RequiredFeature tag to the permission beforehand, the Category permission is recorded in the PermissionGrant table for the tenant. Afterwards, when we add the RequiredFeature tag to the Category permission, we see that it works. After adding the RequiredFeature tag, we see that it works. However, when a new tenant arrives after this process, the RequiredFeature tag is present, so no record is added to the PermissionGrant table again. In short, what we want here is to be able to control the tenant's permission status on a feature-specific basis.

  • Can we change the tenant's default role assignment status? Can we assign it to a role we created, and can we edit this role status from the interface? In the future, if a permission assigned to a role is removed, it must be removed from all tenants assigned to that role.
  • When we add a RequiredFeature to Permission, is the only way to grant that permission to the tenant to override the method that created the tenant and add permissions one by one by checking the features it contains according to the assigned edition? Is there another way? This method does not seem very sound; problems may arise in the future when packages expand or change. We need to be able to dynamically access the permissions associated with the features within the edition and assign them to the tenant. Of course, when the permission status changes via the panel, the tenant's permission status should change dynamically; permissions should be removed from existing tenants or added to new tenants, and new tenants should directly have the permissions within the existing package content.

we kindly request your support.

thanks

    • In ABP, when you assign an edition with specific features to a tenant, permissions with the RequiredFeature property are only granted if the tenant's edition includes the required feature. However, ABP does not automatically update PermissionGrants for existing tenants or roles when you change features, editions, or permission definitions. This is why you observe that PermissionGrant records are not dynamically updated when you add or remove RequiredFeature from a permission or change a tenant's edition/features.

    • To control which role is assigned to a new tenant by default, you can override the tenant creation logic (for example, by customizing the tenant creation service or event handler). You can assign a custom role or modify the default role assignment. You can also manage roles and their permissions via the Permission Management Module UI, but dynamic synchronization (removing permissions from all tenants when a permission is removed from a role) is not automatic—you must implement this logic yourself.

    • There is no built-in ABP mechanism that automatically synchronizes permissions for all tenants/roles when features or editions change. The RequiredFeature property only controls whether a permission is considered granted at runtime, not whether a PermissionGrant record is created or removed. To ensure that permissions are dynamically assigned/removed based on edition features, you need to implement a custom synchronization process:

      1. When a tenant is created or its edition/features change, enumerate all permissions with RequiredFeature and check if the tenant's edition includes the required feature.
      2. Grant or revoke permissions for the tenant's roles accordingly using the Permission Management API or service.
      3. Optionally, listen to edition/feature/permission changes and update PermissionGrants for affected tenants/roles.
    • There is no official ABP API that provides a direct mapping of "all permissions required by features in an edition." You must enumerate permissions and their RequiredFeature attributes, then match them to the features in the edition.

    • The Permission Management Module allows you to manage permissions for roles and users via the UI, but it does not provide automatic synchronization with edition features.

    • In summary, you must implement custom logic to:

      • Assign the correct role(s) to new tenants.
      • Dynamically grant/revoke permissions for roles based on the tenant's edition features.
      • Keep permissions in sync when features, editions, or permission definitions change.
