This package provides an interface for checking if certain user has certain permission. Optional parameters could be passed
for fine-grained access checks. Additionally, `DenyAll` and `AllowAll` implementations are available out of the box.
## Requirements
- PHP 8.0 - 8.5.
## Installation
The package could be installed with [Composer](https://getcomposer.org):
```shell
composer require yiisoft/access
```
## General usage
An access checker [such as RBAC](https://github.com/yiisoft/rbac) implements the interface. A user identity may use it
then for checking access:
```php
use Yiisoft\Access\AccessCheckerInterface;
class UserService
{
private AccessCheckerInterface $accessChecker;
public function __construct(AccessCheckerInterface $accessChecker)
{
$this->accessChecker = $accessChecker;
}
public function can(string $permissionName, array $parameters = []): bool
{
return $this->accessChecker->userHasPermission(
$this
->getCurrentUser()
->getId(),
$permissionName,
$parameters
);
}
public function getCurrentUser(): User
{
// ...
}
}
```
In the handler it may look like the following:
```php
public function actionList(UserService $userService)
{
if (!$userService->can('list_posts')) {
// access denied
}
// list posts
}
```
