3-Level Permission Tree Simplifies Role-Based Access Control

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A developer proposes replacing scattered role checks with a three-level permission tree structure (page, section, read/write). The approach uses a single JSON object per role and a generic function to check access, eliminating dozens of inline conditionals. It scales cleanly without adding new libraries or framework dependencies.

Practical pattern for small-to-mid apps, but may need extension for complex hierarchical roles or dynamic permissions.
