Hello,
Please can you share more context about your code and what you want to do, so that I can help you :pray:

Hi Alban, thanks for replying. Let’s see, I imported the middleware like so:

const { PermissionMiddlewareCreator } = require('forest-express-sequelize');
const permissionMiddlewareCreator = new PermissionMiddlewareCreator('cache_entry');

and here is an example route:

 router.route('/actions/create-item')
    .post(Liana.ensureAuthenticated, permissionMiddlewareCreator.smartAction(), itemsController.createItemHandler)

When I try the smart action, that’s when I run into a permissions issue in the Permissions.js file located here: node_modules/forest-express/dist/middlewares/permissions.js.

I’m guessing that this file was created on forest-express side so I’m very unfamiliar with its contents.

Is that helpful or what other context could you use?

Thanks

I don’t understand what do you want to do, but do you have read the section about smart action in our documentation?
Also, did you try to upgrade your forest-express-sequelize to the last version ?

Just wanted to add permissions middleware to each smart action route. This solved it:
const { PermissionMiddlewareCreator } = require(‘forest-express-sequelize’);
const permissionMiddlewareCreator = new PermissionMiddlewareCreator(‘Item-Name’);

Thanks for your responses
