Getting Current User Information

// Get the currently logged-in user
const user = await User.me();

console.log(user.full_name);        // "John Smith"
console.log(user.access_level);     // "store_manager"
console.log(user.assigned_stores);  // ["store_123", "store_456"]
console.log(user.region);          // "Munster"

Checking User Permissions

// Check if user can access a specific store
function canAccessStore(user, storeId) {
  // System admins can access everything
  if (user.access_level === 'system_admin') {
    return true;
  }
  
  // Check if store is in their assigned stores
  return user.assigned_stores && user.assigned_stores.includes(storeId);
}

// Usage
const hasAccess = canAccessStore(user, "store_123");

Creating New Users

// Create a new store manager
const newUser = await User.create({
  email: "manager@supervalu-cork.ie",
  full_name: "Mary O'Connor", 
  access_level: "store_manager",
  assigned_stores: ["store_cork_01"],
  region: "Munster",
  store_role: "manager"
});

Updating User Permissions

// Give a user access to additional stores
const userId = "user_123";
const currentUser = await User.get(userId);

const updatedStores = [...currentUser.assigned_stores, "store_456"];

await User.update(userId, {
  assigned_stores: updatedStores,
  access_level: "operations_admin"  // Promote them
});

Filtering Data by User Access

// Get stores that a user can access
async function getAccessibleStores(user) {
  // System and Operations admins can see all stores
  if (user.access_level === 'system_admin' || user.access_level === 'operations_admin') {
    return await Store.list();
  }
  
  // Store manager
  return await Store.filter({ id__in: user.assigned_stores });
}
