4.2.3.2 Configure roles and scopes

Following the guidance explained regarding the possible authorization user scopes that are available, now you can configure the user roles that are applied to each employee.

You make these configurations in TypeScript in the src/data-seeding/roles/roles.ts file. You can see the examples that we have created for our default configuration - Farajaland set of users and scopes in this file.

Here is a section of code that you can see in the roles array:

import { SCOPES, Scope } from '@opencrvs/toolkit/scopes'
import { MessageDescriptor } from 'react-intl'

type Role = {
  id: string
  label: MessageDescriptor
  scopes: Scope[]
}

export const roles: Role[] = [
  {
    id: 'FIELD_AGENT',
    label: {
      defaultMessage: 'Field Agent',
      description: 'Name for user role Field Agent',
      id: 'userRole.fieldAgent'
    },
    scopes: [
      SCOPES.RECORD_DECLARE_BIRTH,
      SCOPES.RECORD_DECLARE_DEATH,
      SCOPES.RECORD_DECLARE_MARRIAGE,
      SCOPES.RECORD_SUBMIT_INCOMPLETE,
      SCOPES.RECORD_SUBMIT_FOR_REVIEW,
      SCOPES.SEARCH_BIRTH,
      SCOPES.SEARCH_DEATH,
      SCOPES.SEARCH_MARRIAGE
    ]
  },
  {
    id: 'POLICE_OFFICER',
    label: {
      defaultMessage: 'Police Officer',
      description: 'Name for user role Police Officer',
      id: 'userRole.policeOfficer'
    },
    scopes: [
      SCOPES.RECORD_DECLARE_BIRTH,
      SCOPES.RECORD_DECLARE_DEATH,
      SCOPES.RECORD_DECLARE_MARRIAGE,
      SCOPES.RECORD_SUBMIT_INCOMPLETE,
      SCOPES.RECORD_SUBMIT_FOR_REVIEW,
      SCOPES.SEARCH_BIRTH,
      SCOPES.SEARCH_DEATH,
      SCOPES.SEARCH_MARRIAGE
    ]
  }, ...

• The id property must be unique and map to the role constant used in your employees' csv files explained in the previous section.

• The label property must be a react-intl formatjs object with a translation for the visible label that you wish to apply to this user role. Appropriate translations must exist in your client.csv file for the label.id where necessary. You can learn about how to configure OpenCRVS content translation in the section: Managing Language Content.
• The scopes array is where you configure the constants for the available scopes. The supported scopes are imported from the @opencrvs/toolkit TypeScript library.
