SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers implement robust security measures for API Platform endpoints in Symfony applications, ensuring data privacy and controlled access.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Operation-Level Security: Define granular access control for specific API operations (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE).
  • Voter Integration: Leverage Symfony's security voters for complex authorization logic.
  • Property-Level Security: Control visibility of sensitive fields based on user roles or ownership.
  • Use Case: Secure a /users/{id} endpoint so that only administrators can view all user details, while regular users can only view their own profile information.

Quick Start

Use the symfony:api-platform-security skill to implement operation-level security for the Post entity.

FAQPage Schema
How do I secure API Platform endpoints in Symfony?

Securing API Platform endpoints involves defining explicit operations and mapping policy-safe behavior. You can implement operation-level security expressions, integrate voters, and apply post-denormalization checks to control access to your Symfony API resources.

How do I use Symfony voters for API Platform authorization?

Symfony voters can be integrated into API Platform endpoints for complex authorization logic. This approach allows you to enforce granular access control on specific operations like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE before the request is processed.

Can I control field visibility based on user roles in API Platform?

Yes, property-level security controls visibility of sensitive fields based on user roles or ownership. You can achieve this by using serialization groups to restrict exposed data, ensuring regular users only see their own profile information.

What is the best way to filter API Platform collections based on user permissions?

Collection filtering based on user permissions is managed via Doctrine extensions. This ensures that query results are automatically constrained by your security policies, returning only the records the current user is authorized to view.

Does this Skill handle JWT authentication and rate limiting for Symfony APIs?

Yes, this Skill manages JWT authentication and rate limiting configurations. These features help protect your API Platform endpoints from unauthorized access and abuse, ensuring controlled and secure data delivery.

When do I need post-denormalization checks in API Platform?

Post-denormalization checks are needed when you must validate security constraints after data is mapped to your objects. This ensures that policy-safe behavior is enforced even after the request payload has been fully deserialized.
