My Journey

For this challenge, I thought of creating something a bit different, something beyond your basic CRUD actions, but was still practical. I was eventually able to come up with HireFlow. It

Using Permit.io for Authorization

For this challenge, I utilized the permit CLI for integrating the permit authorization into my application.
To make use of the CLI, the following steps were taken:

Installed the permit CLI:

npm install -g @permitio/cli

This enabled me to run the permit CLI commands from anywhere in my terminal.

Logged into my permit account:

permit Login

Initialized permit:

permit init

Selected the Create a simple policy option:

I was then prompted to configure my resources
Configure resources:

jobs, applications, companies, recruiters, candidates

Next, I was prompted to configure actions for the resources that I just created.

Configure actions: These were the actions I configured for my resources

create, read, update, delete, approve, reject, shortlist

Next, I was prompted to configure the roles and permissions.

Configure roles and permissions: The roles and resources were assigned as such:

Company|recruiters:delete|jobs:read|jobs:delete|candidates:read|companies:delete|applications:approve|applications:reject, Candidate|jobs:read|applications:create|applications:read, Recruiter|jobs:create|jobs:read|jobs:delete|applications:read|applications:reject|applications:shortlist

Next, my request was processed:

Data setup:
I was then prompted to select my data setup, on which I opted for the 'Interactively create users' option
Select user number:
I was prompted to select the number of users I wished to create, on which I specified 3, for the candidate, recruiter, and company.
Assign each user to their roles:
I assigned all 3 users to their different roles:

Next, I was prompted to enforce a PDP.
Enforce PDP (Policy Decision Point):
I skipped this section because I opted for the Permit’s cloud-hosted PDP instead.

This enabled me to run a local PDP server on my machine to evaluate the policies locally.
