XperienceCommunity.MemberRoles.Admin 2.0.2

XperienceCommunity.MemberRoles

Description

This is a community created package to allow Member Roles and permissions in Xperience by Kentico (until this logic is baked into the product).

Roles can be created, assigned to Members, and Content Items can be secured with Authentication and Member Role Permissions applied to themselves or inherited from a parent Content Folders and Web Page Items.

Library Version Matrix

This project is using Xperience Version v30.0.0.

Package Installation

Add the package to your application using the .NET CLI

dotnet add package XperienceCommunity.MemberRoles.Admin

Additionally, you can elect to install only the required packages on specific projects if you have separation of concerns:

XperienceCommunity.MemberRoles.Core : No Xperience Dependencies XperienceCommunity.MemberRoles: Kentico.Xperience.WebApp Dependent (No Admin) XperienceCommunity.MemberRoles.Admin : Kentico.Xperience.Admin (Admin Items)

Quick Start

In your startup, when you call the .AddIdentity<TUser,TRole> ...

1. Use TagApplicationUserRole as the TRole (still use Kentico's Applicationuser as TUser)
2. Call the extension .AddMemberRolesStores<TUser, TRole>() off your IdentityBuilder

This will hook up all the interfaces (including IUserRoleStore, and IRoleStore) and run the installation logic on application run. Below is the basic Kentico Authentication Hookup with Member Roles.

public static void AddStandardKenticoAuthentication(WebApplicationBuilder builder)
{
    // Adds Basic Kentico Authentication, needed for user context and some tools
    builder.Services.AddAuthentication();

    // XperienceCommunity.MemberRoles, make sure Role is TagApplicationUserRole or an inherited member here
    builder.Services.AddIdentity<ApplicationUser, TagApplicationUserRole>(options => {
        // Ensures that disabled member accounts cannot sign in
        options.SignIn.RequireConfirmedAccount = true;
        // Ensures unique emails for registered accounts
        options.User.RequireUniqueEmail = true;
    })
        .AddUserStore<ApplicationUserStore<ApplicationUser>>()
        .AddMemberRolesStores<ApplicationUser, TagApplicationUserRole>() // XperienceCommunity.MemberRoles
        .AddUserManager<UserManager<ApplicationUser>>()
        .AddSignInManager<SignInManager<ApplicationUser>>();

    // Adds authorization support to the app
    builder.Services.AddAuthorization();
}

Guide

Please see the Admin Guide for Xperience Users or the Developer Guide for instructions.

Using Web Page Route Security

While this package includes the ability to create and assign Roles to Users, to define Content Item Permissions, and Interfaces that can be used to determine access and filter out items, it does not have the systems to automatically apply Web Page Security rules for a page request.

I will be working on the updated version of the XperienceCommunity.Authorization package (probably wil be renamed XperienceCommunity.DevTools.Authorization) shortly that will then leverage these to introduce Controller Based and Tree Routing Based request filtering, tying into Page Permissions.

Screenshots

Existing "Is Secure" on Content Items

Kentico released the "Is Secure" on Content Items (Properties → Membership (Web Channel) or just Properties (Content Hub)) which was intended to mark items as needing Member Authentication to accesses. I was not able to leverage this field, so for all intents and purposes, this field is ignored by Member Roles in it's filtering. The new UIs have their own "Is Secure" field which you should use.
