SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill guides developers through configuring Tauri permissions, covering the security permission system, allow and deny lists, plugin permissions, permission identifiers, scopes, and capability integration to harden desktop apps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Establishes a formal permission system for Tauri v2 that governs frontend access to backend commands and system resources.
  • Provides naming conventions for permission identifiers and practical guidance on constructing allow/deny rules, scopes, and capabilities.
  • Enables per-window and per-capability security models to enforce least privilege across multi-window, multi-platform applications.

Quick Start

Define a capability that maps windows to permission identifiers and apply allow/deny rules to enforce access controls.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure Tauri v2 permissions to restrict frontend access to backend commands?

Configure Tauri v2 permissions by defining permission identifiers, allow/deny rules, and capability mappings to restrict frontend access to backend commands. Deny rules take precedence over allow rules to enforce access controls.

What are Tauri capabilities and how do they control window-specific access?

Tauri capabilities map windows to permission identifiers and apply allow/deny rules to enforce window-specific access. This per-capability security model enforces least privilege across multi-window and multi-platform desktop applications.

How do I set up allow and deny lists for Tauri plugin permissions?

Set up allow and deny lists for Tauri plugin permissions using explicit permission identifiers and scopes. Deny rules take precedence over allow rules, ensuring strict access control over system resources and backend commands.

When do I need to define scopes for Tauri permissions?

Define scopes for Tauri permissions when you need granular control over frontend access to backend commands and system resources. Scopes work with permission identifiers and capability mappings to enforce least privilege in desktop applications.

Does the Tauri permission system support per-window security models?

Yes, the Tauri permission system supports per-window and per-capability security models. You can define capabilities that map specific windows to permission identifiers, enforcing least privilege across multi-window applications.

Why do deny rules take precedence over allow rules in Tauri permissions?

Deny rules take precedence over allow rules in Tauri permissions to ensure strict security enforcement. This precedence model guarantees that explicitly denied access to backend commands or system resources remains blocked even if broader allow rules exist.
