Authorization False could lead to Condition False

vinci.amorim Public · Sep 25 2023

Idea Summary  

If a component has been configured with an Authorization Scheme that evaluates to false, then the current condition will also be false. This eliminates the need to use logic like "APEX_AUTHORIZATION.IS_AUTHORIZED" in multiple locations.

Benefits:

  • Enhances UX by concealing unauthorized elements.
  • Mitigates the risk of typos in Authorization Scheme names.
  • Boosts performance by eliminating the need for PL/SQL expressions.

Use Cases  

  • If a "Delete" button uses the Authorization Scheme name "can_delete" along with a server-side condition such as "APEX_AUTHORIZATION.IS_AUTHORIZED('can_delete')".
  • Same for a Navigation Menu Item.

Preferred Solution (Optional)  

  • Application flag that's valid for the entire application by default.
  • Server-side condition type "Is Authorized," or a component flag that sets the condition to false if not authorized.
This idea is open.
