Kuika offers flexible and secure authorization solutions in application development processes. Providing access control over screens and elements based on user roles increases the security of your application and ensures that the right users have access to the right data.
1. Authorization on Elements
Element authorization controls a specific user's right to access only specified elements. Users can view or edit certain fields according to the roles assigned to them.
1.1. Creating a Role
Log in to the Kuika platform and select your project from the Apps screen.
In the UI Design module, add and select an element from the Elements panel.
In the Authorization field in the Properties panel, disable the All Roles Access Switch option.
Click the +NEW ROLE button under the Roles heading.
Enter the role name and save it by clicking the CREATE button.
The roles you created are stored in the KRole table in the Datasources module. You can write SQL queries using the KUserRole table to find out which role users are in.
1.2. Element Visibility by Roles
To make an element viewable only by a specific role, add that role in the Authorization field.
If you want the element to be viewable only, disable the Hide Switch property.
1.3. Assigning Start Screen by Roles
Select the role in the Select Box to select the start screen depending on the user's role.
Complete the setting by clicking the CREATE button.
If all roles need to view the same elements, activate the All Roles Access Switch option. You can use the Anonymous Access Switch option to provide access without requiring login.
2. Authorization on Screens
Screen-based authorization allows users to access only the screens assigned to the relevant roles.
2.1. Role Based Authorization on Screens
Select the relevant screen.
Go to the Authorization field in the Properties panel.
Add that role so that the screen can only be viewed by a specific role.
2.2. Authorization in Preview Mode
When testing the application in Preview mode, enable the All Roles Access Switch option so that users can log in.
You can use the Anonymous Access Switch option so that users can view screens without logging in.
Authorization enhances the security and functionality of the application by ensuring that users only access areas appropriate to their role. Properly configured roles and access rights improve user experience and increase productivity.
