I want to set role for user. I ąm using code below:
$user = this->getDoctrine()->getRepository('BlogBundle:User')->findOneById('11');
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$t=array('ROLE_ADMIN');
$user->setRoles($t);
$em->persist($user);
$em->flush();
return new Response('okk');
When I set 'ROLE_ADMIN' everything is ok, but when I set 'ROLE_USER' database cell is empty. Why?
Thank you for help in advance.
The roles column in your users table, should have
a:0:{}
for users with just the role ROLE_USER
Programmatic way of checking .
check if a user has a particular role ( inclusing ROLE_USER )
if ($this->get('security.context')->isGranted('ROLE_USER')) {
// the user has the ROLE_USER role
}
there's also
$user->getRoles()
One more way to double check if the use really has the ROLE_USER
php app/console fos:user:promote
When prompted, enter the username followed by ROLE_USER
it should state that
User "example#example.com" did already have "ROLE_USER" role.
In FOS User Bundle, all users have the ROLE_USER role. It would be redundant to add/save this role.
If you're looking for it in FOSUserBundle's code base, the role is aliased as ROLE_DEFAULT in the UserInterface class.

I have a user with ROLE_ADMIN and I want to connect him as "ROLE_USER" when calling http://localhost/login but connect him as "ROLE_ADMIN" when calling http://localhost/login?role=admin.
Is it possible to do it in Symfony ?
You can just check if the "role" GET parameter is set and defined as "admin" and then write your code.
If there is a role inheritance and that your admin has ROLE_USER and ROLE_ADMIN, just define custom actions if you detect that it's an admin:
if ($this->isGranted('ROLE_ADMIN')) {
//adminCode
} else {
//userCode
}
I have a role hierarchy defined in my security.yml config file :
role hierarchy:
ROLE_USER: [ROLE_USER]
ROLE_OFFICE: [ROLE_OFFICE]
ROLE_TEST: [ROLE_OFFICE, ROLE_USER]
I want to use the security annotations in my controller :
/**
* #Route("/office", name="office")
* #Security("has_role('ROLE_OFFICE')")
*/
How can i use the role hierarchy with annotation. With my example, a user with ROLE_TEST will not be allowed to access my office route.
Thank you.
When you defining new role, you're defining from which existing role(s) will the role inherit. Your definition here is wrong.
You don't have to define ROLE_USER, it will be defined once you extend it. (thanks to #Yonel)
As I mentioned above, new role should extend existing one:
role_hierarchy:
ROLE_OFFICE: ROLE_USER
...
ROLE_OFFICE will also have the ROLE_USER
Your ROLE_TEST now has also ROLE_OFFICE, this means that ROLE_TEST is allowed to access route /office. To fix this, you have to remove ROLE_OFFICE from your definition.
This should be working definition:
role_hierarchy:
ROLE_OFFICE: ROLE_USER
ROLE_TEST: ROLE_USER
Documentation: http://symfony.com/doc/current/security.html#hierarchical-roles
If you change a little bit your annotation by :
#Security("is_granted('ROLE_OFFICE')")
Does the ROLE_TEST access the ressource?
If you want to exclude a route to a specific role you can negate the condition. As Example:
/**
* #Route("/office", name="office")
* #Security("not has_role('ROLE_TEST')")
*/
Hope this help
I am new to FOS user bundle.
I have user and want to create a function to promote them (which will do the same than:
php app/console fos:user:promote testuser ROLE_MANAGER
my security.yml is:
role_hierarchy:
ROLE_MANAGER: ROLE_USER
ROLE_ADMIN: [ROLE_USER, ROLE_MANAGER, ROLE_ALLOWED_TO_SWITCH]
Any idea how to do that from a controller?
I created a UserBundle with a UserController.php to extend FOS user and create a profile.
Found the solution:
public function promoteUserAction(){
$user = $this->getUser();
$userManager = $this->get('fos_user.user_manager');
$user->addRole('ROLE_ADMIN');
$userManager->updateUser($user);
return $this->render('ACMEBundle:User:page.html.twig');
}
Hope it will be useful for others.
cheers
Also, if you happen to only know the FOS username and you want to promote the user being logged in as a different user (the accepted answer promotes the logged in user), you can use this sample code:
$userManager = $this->get('fos_user.user_manager');
$user = $userManager->findUserBy(array('username' => 'gauss'));
$user->addRole('ROLE_ADMIN');
$userManager->updateUser($user);
In this case, I'm searching for the FOS username of 'gauss' and promoting use gauss to ROLE_ADMIN. You can then run a sql command of select id,username,roles from fos_user; on your database to verify the role has been added.
Hopefully this helps someone.
I'm trying to implement very basic authentication in Symfony2. Here are main parts of the code I really don't see any problem
EDIT
complete security.yml
jms_security_extra:
secure_all_services: false
expressions: true
security:
encoders:
Symfony\Component\Security\Core\User\User: plaintext
role_hierarchy:
ROLE_ADMIN: ROLE_USER
ROLE_SUPER_ADMIN: [ROLE_USER, ROLE_ADMIN, ROLE_ALLOWED_TO_SWITCH]
providers:
in_memory:
memory:
users:
user: { password: userpass, roles: [ 'ROLE_USER' ] }
admin: { password: adminpass, roles: [ 'ROLE_ADMIN' ] }
firewalls:
login:
pattern: ^/login
anonymous: ~
secured_area:
pattern: ^/
stateless: true
form_login:
login_path: /login
check_path: /login_check
access_control:
- { path: ^/login, roles: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
- { path: ^/, roles: ROLE_USER }
This works fine, anonymous user is always redirected to loginAction controller.
EDIT
Here is the complete code
<?php
namespace AcmeBundle\Controller;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Authentication\Token\UsernamePasswordToken;
class SecurityController extends Controller {
public function loginAction() {
$providerKey = 'secured_area';
$token = new UsernamePasswordToken('test', 'test', $providerKey, array('ROLE_USER'));
$this->container->get('security.context')->setToken($token);
return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('fronthomepage'));
}
}
I don't see any problem, anonymous user is redirected to loginAction, there is created authenticated user, saved to token and than redirected to secured area as an authenticated user. Unfortunately my code ends with redirect loop which looks like security firewall doesn't accept user as authenticated. Do you see any problem?
Well, your controller job is to render just form but not to populate security context. Symfony2 security firewall will do that for you automatically. You don't need to handle it unless you want to build you own custom authentication.
In other words, your job is to display the login form and any login
errors that may have occurred, but the security system itself takes
care of checking the submitted username and password and
authenticating the user.
Please read this document for clear picture.
If you want to do some custom stuff when a user logs in, in Symfony2 you have to add an event listener that will fire after the user successfully logged in. The event that is fired is security.interactive_login and to hook to it you have to specify this in services.yml file form your bundle Resources/config directory:
Pretty sure you need an actual user object before setting an authenticated user. I did something like this:
class BaseController
protected function setUser($userName)
{
if (is_object($userName)) $user = $userName;
else
{
$userProvider = $this->get('zayso_core.user.provider');
// Need try/catch here
$user = $userProvider->loadUserByUsername($userName);
}
$providerKey = 'secured_area';
$providerKey = $this->container->getParameter('zayso_core.provider.key'); // secured_area
$token = new UsernamePasswordToken($user, null, $providerKey, $user->getRoles());
$this->get('security.context')->setToken($token);
return $user;
}
However doing something like this bypasses much of the security system and is not recommended. I also wanted to use a 3rd party authentication system (Janrain). I looked at the authentication system and initially could not make heads or tails out of it. This was before the cookbook entry existed.
I know it seems overkill but once you work through things then it starts to make more sense. And you get access to a bunch of nifty security functions. It took me quite some time to start to understand the authentication system but it was worth it in the end.
Hints:
1. Work through the cook book backward. I had a real hard time understanding what was going on but I started with adding a new firewall to security.yml and then adding the alias for my security factory. I then sort of traced through what the factory was being asked to do. From there I got the listener to fire up and again traced through the calls. Finally the authentication manager comes into play. Again, time consuming, but worth it in the end. Learned a lot.
One thing that drove me crazy is that classes are scattered all over the place. And the naming leaves something to be desired. Very hard to get an overview. I ended up making my own authentication bundle then putting everything under security.
If you want another example of a working bundle then take a look at: https://github.com/cerad/cerad/tree/master/src/Cerad/Bundle/JanrainBundle
I see from the official Symfony2 doc on Security that new roles can be defined besides the "classical" ones (i.e. ROLE_USER, ROLE_ADMIN, etc.).
How can I define new roles and register them to my Symfony2 application in order to create roles hierarchy in the security.yml?
Sorry to have bothered all of you! I think that the answer is simple. In fact, it seems that is sufficient to start to use a new role by starting the name with ROLE_.
E.g., it is possible to say ROLE_NEWS_AUTHOR to let only people with that role to be capable to insert a news in the website.
Thanks.
Sure you can simply add any roles starting with ROLE_SOMEROLE.In security.yml file there are two main part to 1.limit the access 2. Who are the memebers can access
a. access_control: Which limit the pattern and specify a role who can access.
b. role_hierarchy: here the hierarchical structure of role, for the below example an Admin user(ROLE_ADMIN) have roles ROLE_USER,ROLE_NEWS_AUTHOR. So he can access all pages of a USER and NEWS_AUTHOR.Whatever the hierarchy you can give.
access_control:
- { path: ^/login, roles: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }/login any one can access this pattern
- { path: ^/admin/, roles: ROLE_ADMIN }//block all pattern /admin/anything*
- { path: ^/news/, roles: ROLE_NEWS_AUTHOR } //block all pattern /news/anything*
role_hierarchy:
ROLE_ADMIN: [ROLE_USER,ROLE_NEWS_AUTHOR]
In your controller you can check the roles,
if(TRUE ===$this->get('security.context')->isGranted('ROLE_ADMIN') )
{
// do something related to ADMIN
}
else if(TRUE ===$this->get('security.context')->isGranted('ROLE_NEWS_AUTHOR') )
{
// do something related to News Editor
}
Hope this helps you .
HAppy coding.
