Module: CurationConcerns::Workflow::PermissionQuery

Defined in:
app/services/curation_concerns/workflow/permission_query.rb

Overview

Note:

There is an indication of public or private api. The intent of this is to differentiate what are methods that are the primary entry points as understood as of the commit that has the @api tag. However, these are public methods because they have been tested in isolation and are used to help compose the ‘@api public` methods.

Welcome intrepid developer. You have stumbled into some complex data interactions. There are a lot of data collaborators regarding these tests. I would love this to be more in isolation, but that is not in the cards as there are at least 16 database tables interacting to ultimately answer the following question:

  • What actions can a given user take on an entity?

Could there be more efficient queries? Yes. However, the composition of queries has proven to be a very powerful means of understanding and exploring the problem.
