Initialisation

You can use this as a standalone recipe, or alongside any of the other recipes provided by us. To get started, initialise the recipe in the backend SDK's init function call:

import SuperTokens from "supertokens-node";
import UserRoles from "supertokens-node/recipe/userroles";

SuperTokens.init({
    supertokens: {
        connectionURI: "..."
    },
    appInfo: {
        apiDomain: "...",
        appName: "...",
        websiteDomain: "..."
    },
    recipeList: [
        UserRoles.init(),
    ]
});

By default, the user roles recipe will add the roles and permission information into a user's session (if they have assigned roles & permissions). If you do not want roles or permissions information in the session, or want to manually add it yourself, you can provide the following input configs to the UserRoles.init function:

import UserRoles from "supertokens-node/recipe/userroles";

UserRoles.init({
    skipAddingRolesToAccessToken: true,
    skipAddingPermissionsToAccessToken: true,
})
