…your app just by throwing the special AccessDeniedException. Since we’ll need the same security logic in editAction, updateAction and deleteAction, let’s create a private function called enforceOwnerSecurity that holds it: // src/Yoda/EventBundle/Controller/EventController.php // ... use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Exception\AccessDeniedException…

…function called authenticateUser inside RegisterController. Normally, authentication happens automatically, but we can also trigger it manually: // src/Yoda/UserBundle/Entity/Controller/RegisterController.php // ... use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Authentication\Token\UsernamePasswordToken; private function authenticateUser(User $user) { } This code might look strange, and I don’t…

…method for installing bundles. Generating the User Entity¶ Let’s forget about security for a second and pretend that all we care about is creating a User entity that is stored in the database. Let’s create a new bundle called UserBundle to house the…

…bundle, and with good reason. It comes packed with features for login, registration, forgot password and a lot more. But it's also a big tool, and learning to master it will go a long way to making the security system in your application great.

…I'll start running symfony console, which is the same thing. Thanks to the new bundle, we have a ton of commands that start with make! Commands for generating a security system, making a controller, generating doctrine entities to talk to the database, forms, listeners…

…how the end-user will get that token. So let's talk about that first use-case: the user of your API is your own JavaScript. Well, before we even dive into security, make sure your frontend and your API live on the same domain..…

…you want to, instead of using the IsGranted PHP attribute, you could also say $this->denyAccessUnlessGranted(). And you could also go to config/packages/security.yaml and, down at the bottom, add an access_control that protects the entire /admin section: Actually, adding this access…

…Shazam! We're green! So let's go set that value for real. This is easy enough: add a private Security argument... and make sure you first arg has a comma. Then this is true if $this->security->getUser() equals $treasure->getOwner(). And... then... the…

… Well, at first, it's relatively easy because we have total control via the security expression. So we can add something like if is_granted("ROLE_ADMIN") OR and then put parentheses around the other use-case: Let's make sure it works! A 500…
