How to Grant Fine-Grained Access Rights for Developers in NoCode Platforms | Secure Your Application

Table of Contents​

Introduction​

This guide explains how to grant fine-grained access rights to developers in NoCode platforms like NoCode-X. It covers managing permissions for specific applications, workspace-level permissions, and ensuring secure access for developers based on their roles.

Video Tutorial​

Use Cases​

  • Assigning specific roles to developers, such as frontend designer or backend developer.
  • Restricting access to sensitive parts of the application, like billing or user management.
  • Allowing developers to work on specific applications without affecting others.
  • Managing permissions for large teams in a secure and organized manner.

Prerequisites​

  • A NoCode-X workspace with multiple applications.
  • A list of developers and their roles (e.g., designer, full-stack developer).
  • Basic understanding of NoCode-X's user and permission management system.

Quick Start Guide​

  1. Invite Developers:

    • Navigate to the "Developers" section in your workspace.
    • Invite developers by email.

  2. Assign Application-Specific Permissions:

    • Select the application and manage permissions for the developer.
    • Toggle specific permissions like creating pages or managing logic.

  3. Set Workspace-Level Permissions:

    • Grant permissions for managing the workspace, billing, or users.

  4. Test Permissions:

    • Verify that developers can only access the features they are assigned.

Detailed Implementation Steps​

1. Inviting Developers (Timestamp: 0:56-1:14)​

  • Navigate to the "Developers" section in your NoCode-X workspace.
  • Click on "Invite New Developer" and enter their email address.
// Example: Inviting a developer
workspace.inviteDeveloper("[email protected]");

2. Managing Application-Specific Permissions (Timestamp: 1:36-2:51)​

  • Select the application for which you want to grant access.
  • Use the "Manage Permissions" button to assign specific rights.
// Example: Granting permissions for creating pages
application.permissions = {
    createPages: true,
    editDesignSystem: true,
    manageLogic: false
};

3. Assigning Workspace-Level Permissions (Timestamp: 3:00-4:12)​

  • Grant permissions for managing the workspace, billing, or users.
  • Use the dropdown to toggle specific rights.
// Example: Granting workspace-level permissions
workspace.permissions = {
    manageApplications: true,
    manageUsers: true,
    manageBilling: false
};

4. Testing Permissions (Timestamp: 4:29-4:47)​

  • Log in as the developer to verify their access.
  • Ensure they can only access the features assigned to them.
// Example: Testing permissions
if (developer.hasPermission("createPages")) {
    console.log("Permission granted");
} else {
    console.log("Permission denied");
}

Advanced Features​

1. Fine-Grained Permissions (Timestamp: 2:01-2:51)​

  • Assign specific permissions like creating pages, managing logic, or editing templates.
  • Use these settings to tailor access based on the developer's role.

2. Workspace Management (Timestamp: 3:00-3:42)​

  • Allow developers to manage workspace settings like authentication and API access.

3. Billing Management (Timestamp: 4:07-4:22)​

  • Grant permissions to manage billing details, such as updating credit card information or changing the invoicing address.

4. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) (Timestamp: 2:08-2:51)​

  • Use role-based access control to simplify permission management for large teams.
