Quick Start

Set up a simple admin page

$ mrt create app
$ cd app
$ mrt add bootstrap-3		# or mrt add less-bootstrap-3
$ mrt add accounts-password
$ mrt add roles
$ mrt add accounts-ui-bootstrap-3
$ mrt add accounts-admin-ui-bootstrap-3
$ mrt remove autopublish
$ mrt remove insecure

app.js

1if (Meteor.isServer) {
2	Meteor.startup(function () {
3		// bootstrap the admin user if they exist -- You'll be replacing the id later
4		if (Meteor.users.findOne("your_admin_user_id"))
5			Roles.addUsersToRoles("your_admin_user_id", ['admin']);
6
7		// create a couple of roles if they don't already exist (THESE ARE NOT NEEDED -- just for the demo)
8		if(!Meteor.roles.findOne({name: "secret"}))
9            Roles.createRole("secret");
10
11        if(!Meteor.roles.findOne({name: "double-secret"}))
12            Roles.createRole("double-secret");
13	});
14}
15
16if (Meteor.isClient) {
17	Template.adminTemplate.helpers({
18		// check if user is an admin
19		isAdminUser: function() {
20			return Roles.userIsInRole(Meteor.user(), ['admin']);
21		}
22	})
23}

app.html

1<head>
2  <title>Accounts Admin</title>
3</head>
4
5<body>
6	<div class="navbar navbar-default" role="navigation">
7        <div class="navbar-header">
8            <div class="navbar-header">
9                <a class="navbar-brand" href="/">Accounts Admin</a>
10            </div>
11        </div>
12        <div class="navbar-collapse collapse">
13            <ul class="nav navbar-nav">  
14            </ul>
15            <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
16            {{> loginButtons }}
17            </ul>
18        </div>
19    </div>
20    <div class="container">
21		{{> adminTemplate}}
22	</div>
23</body>
24
25<template name="adminTemplate">
26	{{#if isAdminUser}}
27		{{> accountsAdmin}}
28	{{else}}
29		Must be admin to see this...
30	{{/if}}
31</template>

After you edit app.js and app.html you need to create a new user and then set the 'admin' role to that user.

Go to http://localhost:3000 and click on the "Sign In / Up" and create your user there.
In the browser console grab the user id from the user you just created Meteor.userId()
Copy the user id and paste it into to "your_admin_user_id" in app.js created above.
Restart meteor

At this point you should see the UI. Signout and add a few more users so you can play with the roles. You can add and remove roles all through the UI.

Iron Router Integration

This tool plays nice with Iron Router package, add to following configuration to your router. Or take a look at this working example.

router.js

1Router.configure({
2	layoutTemplate: 'layout'
3});
4
5Router.map(function() {
6	this.route('home', {
7		path: '/',
8		template: 'home'
9	});
10
11	this.route('admin', {
12		path:'/admin',
13		template: 'accountsAdmin',
14		onBeforeAction: function() {
15			if (Meteor.loggingIn()) {
16                this.render(this.loadingTemplate);
17            } else if(!Roles.userIsInRole(Meteor.user(), ['admin'])) {
18                console.log('redirecting');
19                this.redirect('/');
20            }
21		}
22	});
23});

Roles Hierarchy

In your settings.json, you can define a hierarchy of roles:

1{
2  "public": {
3    "accountsAdmin" : {
4      "rolesHierarchy": {
5        "roleName": "admin",
6        "subordinates": [
7          {
8            "roleName": "user-admin",
9            "subordinates": [
10              {
11                "roleName": "schoolAdmin",
12                "subordinates": [
13                  {
14                    "roleName": "teacher",
15                    "subordinates": [
16                      {"roleName": "student"}
17                    ],
18                    "defaultNewUserRoles":["student"],
19                    "profileFilters":["school","classId"]
20
21                  }
22                ],
23                "profileFilters":["school"]
24              }
25            ],
26            "defaultNewUserRoles":["teacher"]
27
28          }
29        ],
30        "defaultNewUserRoles":["teacher"]
31      }
32    }
33  }
34}

A global object, RolesTree, allows you to query the hierarchy. E.g.

1if (RolesTree.getRoleSubordinate("admin","student")) {
2  console.log("admin has a student subordinate");
3}
4
5var subordinateRoles = RolesTree.getAllSubordinatesAsArray("admin");
6// ["user-admin","schoolAdmin","teacher","student"]
7
8var roleObj = findRoleInHierarchy("teacher");
9// {roleName: "teacher",
10// subordinates: [
11//   {roleName: "student"}
12// ],
13// defaultNewUserRoles:["student"],
14// profileFilters:["school","classId"]}
15
16
17var mySubordinates = RolesTree.getAllMySubordinatesAsArray(Meteor.userId())
18// an array of role names whose roles are below my own roles (union).
19
20var canIAdminister = RolesTree.isUserCanAdministerRole(Meteor.userId(),"teacher");
21// true if I have the role "admin", "user-admin" or "schoolAdmin"; false otherwise.
22
23var canIAdminister = RolesTree.isUserCanAdministerUser(Meteor.userId(),"baddeadbeef");
24// true if the user with id "baddeadbeef" has any role that is a subordinate role of any of my own roles.
