SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Configuring fine-grained scopes in Tauri applications to enforce per-command permissions and improve security.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Static capability configuration via src-tauri/capabilities/*.json to restrict access to filesystem, network, and OS features.
  • Dynamic runtime scope management using the FsExt API to expand or restrict permissions at runtime with validation.
  • Use cases include hardening a desktop app against data leakage, controlling what commands can do, and enabling secure third-party plugins.

Quick Start

Configure the default capabilities file and implement scope checks in your tauri commands to enforce access controls.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure fine-grained scope permissions for Tauri v2 commands?

Configure Tauri v2 command scopes by defining static capability JSON files in src-tauri/capabilities to restrict filesystem, network, and OS access. This secures desktop apps by enforcing per-command permissions across build and runtime environments.

What is dynamic runtime scope management in Tauri applications?

Dynamic runtime scope management in Tauri uses Rust APIs like FsExt to expand or restrict command permissions at runtime with validation. This allows applications to securely adjust access controls after launch without relying solely on static build-time configurations.

How do I secure a Tauri app against data leakage?

Secure a Tauri app against data leakage by applying fine-grained scope permissions to restrict what commands can access. Configure static capability files and implement runtime scope checks using Rust APIs to control filesystem and network access securely.

Can I manage Tauri capabilities dynamically using Rust APIs?

Yes, you can manage Tauri capabilities dynamically using the FsExt Rust API. This allows you to validate, expand, or restrict scope permissions at runtime, providing flexible access control alongside your static capability configurations.

Does this approach to Tauri scopes work for securing third-party plugins?

Yes, configuring fine-grained scopes works for enabling secure third-party plugins. By specifying static capability files and dynamic scope management, you can control exactly what OS and filesystem features third-party commands can access.
