Middleware

When using Frontegg's managed UI features and UI libraries, Frontegg allow simple integration via middleware usage

app.use('/frontegg', frontegg({
  clientId: 'my-client-id',
  apiKey: 'my-api-key',
  contextResolver: (req) => {
    const email = req.context.user; // The user context (after JWT verification)
    const tenantId = req.context.tenantId; // The tenantId context (after JWT verification)
    const permissions = [FronteggPermissions.All];

    return {
      email,
      tenantId,
      permissions
    };
  }
}))

Frontegg permissions

When using the Frontegg middleware library, you can choose which functionality is enabled for your user based on his role or based on any other business logic your application holds.

Controlling Frontegg permissions

Controlling the permissions is done via the Frontegg middleware by injecting the permissions array

/// Allow the user to do everything on all enabled Frontegg modules
const permissions = [FronteggPermissions.All]; 

/// Allow the user to do everything on Frontegg audits module
const permissions = [FronteggPermissions.Audit]; 

/// Allow the user to read audits and audits stats but not exporting it
const permissions = [FronteggPermissions.Audit.Read, FronteggPermissions.Audit.Stats]; 

Audits

Let your customers record the events, activities and changes made to their tenant.

    tenantId: 'my-tenant-id',
    time: Date(),
    user: '[e-mail]',
    resource: 'Portal',

    severity: 'Medium',
    ip: '1.2.3.4'

    tenantId: 'my-tenant-id',
    filter: 'any-text-filter',
    sortBy: 'my-sort-field',
    sortDirection: 'asc | desc'
    offset: 0,  // Offset for starting the page
