How to set up permission for user programmatically

[poel]

Hi, I need to do something like this 

https://belvg.com/blog/how-to-add-new-employees-and-set-up-permissions-in-prestashop-1-7.html

But I need to do it programmatically, how can I do it?

Check the class Employee.php in folder /classes - this should offer all methods needed to manage Employees.

mmmm, I can see only the method for checking if a user can access a tab:

   public function can($action, $tab)
    {
        $access = Profile::getProfileAccess($this->id_profile, Tab::getIdFromClassName($tab));

        return ($access[$action] == '1');
    }

I think it refers to ps_access table where I see a row for each menù permission

looking at the DB I've found the ps_module_access that has permissions for users on modules.

 

Now I'm looking for a function to set properly the access for a user to my module, during the installation script.

Any ideas?

If you inspect Employee class you will find that a profile_id which is a value from class Profile. Looking further you will also find class Access to define the access right on module level.

I don't understand how to  set permission for a certain user for using  my module during the installation process of the module

Are you struggeling with the development part or with the permission concept overall? Whats the specific issue, how far did you get so far, what did you try?

In general a user has a profile assigned. This profil has several permissions assigned including authorizations for actions on modules. By default only SuperAdmin profile has module authorizations.

ok, I was confusing.
I'm a Magento developer and I've been assigned a task for a Prestashop project that I have not seen yet, but I'm trying to inform myself. Now I'll explain what I should do:
I have a module that communicates with an external web service. I saw that the permissions on resources on PrestaShop, for web service, are assigned through an API key (I was confused because on Magento the permissions for web services are assigned by users).
Now I have to give read permissions on this apikey on everything and in writing only on the orders
is it clearer now?

[JBW]

Yes, it's clearer, but I think there is no permission on user level in Presta for API usage (I personally have no experience on this). Good luck with your dev, let us know about your results.

ok, I was wrong I just needed to give permission to the webservice (advanced parameters -> webservice). I was able to do it using the WebserviceKey class that has the method
setPermissionForAccount, and passing it a parameter containing the permissions extracted from a json file.
Here is my install function:

public function install()
    {

        $keyId = $this->getKeyId();
        $wsKey = new WebserviceKey($keyId ? $keyId : null);
        $wsKey->active = true;
        $wsKey->description = self::KEY_DESCRIPTION_MARKER;

        do {
            $wsKey->key = $this->generateKey(self::KEY_LENGTH);
        } while (WebserviceKey::keyExists($wsKey->key));

        $wsKey->add();

        $permissions_file = "../modules/".$this->name."/data/permissions.json";
        $jsonPermissions = file_get_contents($permissions_file); //TODO controlli sul file
        $permissions_to_set = json_decode($jsonPermissions,true);
        $wsKey->setPermissionForAccount($wsKey->id,$permissions_to_set);

        $configuration = new stdClass();
        $configuration->soap_key = $wsKey->key;

        Configuration::updateValue('XXX_CONFIGURATION', json_encode($configuration));

        return parent::install() &&
            $this->registerHook('actionAdminControllerSetMedia') &&
            $this->registerHook('displayBackOfficeHeader');
    }

 

in the permissions.json we have:

{
 "messages": {
    "GET": "on"
  },
  "order_carriers": {
    "GET": "on",
    "PUT": "on",
    "POST": "on"
  }
}

So the installation works fine, I'm trying to update my module via zip upload, in this case Prestashop updates the module to the correct version, but does not set the permissions of the web service, perhaps because the install method is not executed during an upgrade?

When doing an upgrade PrestaShop executes the upgrade method, not the install again

is the code missing somthing i have tried it but it dosn't seems to be working ?
