Add roles ​

Follow the steps below to add a level permission feature to your Bot using Lookup.

Step 1: User identifier ​

  • Decide where to store user info, such as the user`s unique identifier. For example, an email.
  • Add a property to your storage where to store the user`s role or level permission.
  • Example: it can be a simple table or a KV-storage add-role-1
  • The column email represents the user identifier and the column role contains roles such as 'admin' or 'user'.

Step 2: Add role property to Lookup ​

  • Add a property to your collection that will store the level permission (role) for every passage.
  • Example: add-starter-flow-1
  • The property 'role' stores the 'admin' role.

Step 3: Filter passages using the Lookup Step template ​

  • Use the filter feature in the Lookup Step template.
  • Example: add-role-filter.png
  • Here "operator" is "equal", meaning the property "role" should be equal to the Merge field with the user`s role.

Result ​

  • You will get all passages the users have access to with their current user role.
