NoCode-X Page Creation & Security: Build Secure Web Apps in Minutes

Table of Contents​

Introduction​

This guide demonstrates how to create secure pages in NoCode-X and manage access for different user groups. It covers setting up navigation, creating pages, and implementing fine-grained access control to ensure only authorized users can access specific pages.

Video Tutorial​

Use Cases​

  • Creating secure dashboards for different user roles (e.g., admin, regular user).
  • Restricting access to sensitive pages based on user permissions.
  • Building multi-user applications with role-based navigation.
  • Enhancing user experience by showing only relevant links.

Prerequisites​

  • A NoCode-X workspace with authentication enabled.
  • Basic understanding of NoCode-X templates and navigation.
  • A list of user roles and permissions to implement.

Quick Start Guide​

  1. Set Up Navigation:

    • Use the built-in navigation plugin to create a responsive menu.
    • Add links to secured pages.

  2. Create Secured Pages:

    • Create pages and enable authentication for each page.
    • Add titles for easy identification.

  3. Create Users and Groups:

    • Add users with unique email addresses.
    • Create groups and assign rights to manage access.

  4. Test Access Control:

    • Verify that users can only access pages they are authorized for.

Detailed Implementation Steps​

1. Setting Up Navigation (Timestamp: 1:19-8:31)​

  • Install the navigation plugin and use a responsive template.
  • Add links to secured pages and configure their actions.
// Example: Adding a link to secured page 1
const link = {
    title: "Secured Page 1",
    path: "/secured-page-1",
    onClick: () => navigateTo("secured-page-1")
};

2. Creating Secured Pages (Timestamp: 2:37-4:08)​

  • Create two child pages under the root template.
  • Add titles to each page for easy identification.
// Example: Creating a secured page
const securedPage1 = {
    title: "Secured Page 1",
    path: "/secured-page-1",
    authentication: true
};

3. Adding Users and Groups (Timestamp: 8:41-15:47)​

  • Create users with unique email addresses and passwords.
  • Create groups and assign rights to manage access.
// Example: Creating a group and assigning rights
const adminGroup = {
    name: "Admins",
    rights: ["access-secured-page-2"]
};

4. Securing Pages with Authorization Rules (Timestamp: 15:54-18:17)​

  • Create authorization rules to restrict access to specific pages.
  • Assign rules to pages based on user groups.
// Example: Adding an authorization rule
const authorizationRule = {
    name: "Admins Only",
    group: "Admins",
    page: "secured-page-2"
};

5. Testing Access Control (Timestamp: 18:22-19:43)​

  • Log in with different users to verify access control.
  • Ensure unauthorized users cannot access restricted pages.
// Example: Testing access control
if (!user.hasAccess("secured-page-2")) {
    console.log("Access Denied");
}

Advanced Features​

  • Show or hide links based on user permissions.
// Example: Conditional link rendering
if (user.hasAccess("secured-page-2")) {
    navigation.addLink("Secured Page 2");
}

2. Customizing Login and Error Pages (Timestamp: 12:03-12:32)​

  • Redirect users to a custom login page or error page.

3. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) (Timestamp: 14:00-15:47)​

  • Use groups and rights to simplify permission management for large teams.
