I have a microservice project in this solution that is api only --- it has no database. I'm having trouble getting the permissions for this service saved to the administration permissions and permissionGrants tables.
under the /Data folder I have the ClientServicesQueryDataSeeder.cs If I don't have a database for the microservice, do I need to have the following:
- ClientServicesQueryDbContext.cs
- ClientServicesQueryDbContextFactory.cs
- ClientServicesQueryDatabaseMigrationEventHandler.cs
- ClientServicesQueryRuntimeDatabaseMigrator.cs
if so, how would I configure these without a database?
Here is the code that I've added that doesn't work:
public class ClientServicesQueryDataSeeder : ITransientDependency
{
private readonly ILogger _logger;
private readonly IPermissionDataSeeder _permissionDataSeeder;
public ClientServicesQueryDataSeeder(IPermissionDataSeeder permissionDataSeeder,
ILogger<ClientServicesQueryDataSeeder> logger)
{
_permissionDataSeeder = permissionDataSeeder;
_logger = logger;
}
[UnitOfWork]
public virtual async Task SeedAsync(Guid? tenantId = null)
{
_logger.LogInformation("Starting ClientServicesQuery permission seeding...");
try
{
var permissions = ClientServicesQueryPermissions.GetAll();
_logger.LogInformation("Found {PermissionCount} permissions to seed: {Permissions}",
permissions.Length,
string.Join(", ", permissions));
// Grant permissions to the "admin" role
await _permissionDataSeeder.SeedAsync(
RolePermissionValueProvider.ProviderName,
"admin",
permissions,
tenantId
);
_logger.LogInformation("Successfully seeded ClientServicesQuery permissions for admin role");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
_logger.LogError(ex, "Failed to seed ClientServicesQuery permissions");
throw;
}
}
}
I need guidance on how to get the permission to persist to the administration permissions databases where I do not have a database to migrate in the microservice.

In an ABP microservice solution, if your API-only microservice does not have its own database, you do NOT need to create a DbContext or related migration classes for permission seeding. Instead, permissions for all microservices are managed centrally—typically in the IdentityService or AdministrationService, which are responsible for permission management and persistence.
To ensure your microservice's permissions are persisted to the central Administration database:
- Reference your microservice's Application.Contracts project from the IdentityService (or the service responsible for permission management). This allows the central service to discover and register your permission definitions.
- Rebuild the solution and restart the IdentityService and AdministrationService. This ensures the new permissions are loaded and can be seeded.
- Run the DbMigrator (if present) or ensure the central service seeds the permissions. Your microservice does not need to seed or persist permissions itself if it has no database.
You do NOT need to implement a DbContext, DbContextFactory, or migration event handlers in your API-only microservice. The permission seeding logic you wrote is not required in the microservice itself; it should be handled by the central service.
Summary:
- No database = no DbContext or migration code needed in the microservice.
- Add Application.Contracts reference to IdentityService.
- Rebuild and restart all services.
- Central service will persist permissions to the Administration database.

This isn't clear... 'add the ClientServicesQueryContractsModule to the DependsOn of the IdentityService or ApplicationService or both'? This means that the Admin or Identity service has to reference the ClientServicesQueryContractsModule project. This tightly couples the to microservices!
