  To address your issue with user-level permissions not being applied in an ABP solution using the OpenIddict module (instead of IdentityServer), here are the key points and steps you should follow:

  1. User vs. Role Permissions in ABP

     • ABP's permission system supports granting permissions directly to users or via roles.
     • If a permission is granted to a user, it should be effective immediately (after cache refresh, logout/login, etc.), just like role-based permissions.

  2. OpenIddict vs. IdentityServer

     • The workaround from the referenced ticket (disabling claim type updates in IdentityServer) is specific to IdentityServer and not required for OpenIddict.
     • OpenIddict does not override or remap ABP claim types by default, so you do not need to add the PreConfigureServices code for AbpIdentityServerBuilderOptions.

  3. Troubleshooting User Permissions Not Applying

     • Ensure that the user is not only assigned the permission in the UI, but that the permission is granted in the AbpPermissionGrants table with the correct ProviderName (U for user, R for role) and ProviderKey (user ID).
     • Make sure your Blazor WASM client is requesting updated claims after login or after permissions change. Sometimes, the access token or user info is cached and not refreshed.
     • If you are using Redis or distributed cache, ensure that the cache is cleared or invalidated after permission changes.
     • The AuthorizeView component in Blazor checks the current user's claims. If the permission is not present, it may be due to the claims not being refreshed or propagated to the client.

  4. Force Claims Refresh for User Permissions

     • ABP uses dynamic claims and may require a refresh for the user's claims after a permission change. In Blazor WASM, this is typically handled by re-authenticating or explicitly triggering a claims refresh.
     • If you are using ABP's dynamic claims system, ensure that the app.UseDynamicClaims() middleware is configured only in the AuthServer and Web projects, not in all microservices.
     • If you have enabled dynamic claims, verify that the AbpClaimsPrincipalFactoryOptions.IsDynamicClaimsEnabled is set appropriately (usually true for dynamic claims).

  5. Recommended Steps

     • Log out and log in again after granting user permissions.
     • If using distributed cache (e.g., Redis), flush the cache after permission changes.
     • Ensure that your AuthServer and Web projects are correctly configured for dynamic claims (middleware and options).
     • If the problem persists, check the logs for any errors related to claims or permission fetching.

  6. Sample: Dynamic Claims Configuration

  // In your AuthServer and Web module
     context.Services.Configure<AbpClaimsPrincipalFactoryOptions>(options =>
     {
         options.IsDynamicClaimsEnabled = true;
     });
     // In Startup/Program.cs
     app.UseDynamicClaims();
  

  7. If You Still Have Issues
     • Double-check that the user's claims are being refreshed and that the access token contains the expected permissions.
     • Use ABP's built-in permission checking methods (e.g., IAuthorizationService.IsGrantedAsync) to debug on the server side.

  Sources:

  • ABP Permission System
  • ABP Dynamic Claims
  • ABP Identity Server Module Migration
  • ABP Support Ticket 6432

  This approach aligns with common ABP conventions for OpenIddict and dynamic claims. If you follow these steps and the issue persists, please check for customizations or middleware that might interfere with claims propagation.

  hi

  How can I reproduce your problem in a new template project?

  Can you share some code and steps?

  Thanks.

  Hi,

  I tried to create a template solution through ABP Studio and simulate what I described but fail to display the menu under admin account, so that I have access to the Permissions management UI.

  As far as the AI-Bot's notes are concerned, please note we have covered everything stated there.

  Best Regards, Antonis Varkas Byte Computer
