Dashboard login based on user's permissions.

[Tomi]

I would like to set user's permissions in custom dashboards (the same used at datapoints/datasources). So if user's permissions doesn't match dashboard permissions it will redirect to login page. I believe it should be a directive, but I don't know how to implement it.

Hey tomi, I can help you with this. What template did you start with?

[Tomi]

Hello Jared, thank you. I am using Admin Template.

Make these changes in app.js

Around line 40:

            auth: ['$rootScope', 'User', function($rootScope, User) {
                // retrieves the current user when we navigate to a dashboard page
                // if an error occurs the $stateChangeError listener redirects to the login page
                $rootScope.user = User.current();
                return $rootScope.user.$promise.then(function(user) {
                    if (!user.hasPermission('my-permission')) {
                        throw 'Wrong permission';
                    }
                    return user;
                });
            }],

Around line 221

    // redirect to login page if we can't retrieve the current user when changing state
    $rootScope.$on("$stateChangeError", function(event, toState, toParams, fromState, fromParams, error) {
        if (error && (error.status === 401 || error.status === 403 || error === 'Wrong permission')) {
            event.preventDefault();
            $state.loginRedirect = toState;
            $state.go('login');
        }
    });

Thank you Jared, it works smoothly.

Also, I would like to redirect to the dashboard login page after user click on logout button. Currently it goes to the default Mango login page.

You should be able to control that from the system setting. Here is a screenshot of mine. Setting the Login page url should do this for you.

@JoelHaggar Thanks Joel, I did that, but I have 2 different dashboards, so I would like to go to the login page of the dashboard which I am leaving.
