EE Projects Module

Summary

The EE Projects module adds team collaboration, role-based access control (RBAC), git-based environment sync, and per-project piece filtering on top of the base project entity. It introduces project membership (invitations, roles), custom project roles with fine-grained permissions, project releases for deploying flows between environments, and a git sync mechanism for version-controlling flow definitions in an external repository.

Edition Availability

  • Community (CE): Single-user projects only. No project members, no roles, no releases, no git sync.
  • Enterprise (EE, self-hosted): Full feature set behind projectRolesEnabled and environmentsEnabled plan flags.
  • Cloud: Members and invitations available on paid plans. Custom roles behind customRolesEnabled. Git sync and releases behind environmentsEnabled.

Domain Terms

  • ProjectMember: A user's membership in a project, carrying a role assignment.
  • ProjectRole: Named permission set (ADMIN/EDITOR/VIEWER built-in, or custom). Scoped to a platform.
  • Permission: One of 26 granular capabilities (e.g. READ_FLOW, WRITE_CONNECTION).
  • ProjectRelease: A snapshot of a project's flow/table/connection state, applied atomically. Supports rollback.
  • ProjectSyncPlan: A diff object showing what would change (added/updated/deleted) before applying a release.
  • Git Sync: Configuration of an SSH-backed git repo + branch used as a release source or push target.
  • RBAC: Role-Based Access Control — enforced per-request via rbacService.assertPrincipalAccessToProject().
  • Release Type: GIT_BRANCH (from git), MANUAL (from another project), ROLLBACK (revert to a previous release).

Project Members

Entity: id, projectId, userId, projectRoleId, platformId. Unique on (projectId, userId, platformId).

Service methods:

  • upsert({ userId, projectId, projectRoleName }) — create/update member with role lookup
  • list({ platformId, projectId?, projectRoleId? }) — paginated with user details
  • getRole({ userId, projectId }) — returns role (ADMIN if owner/platform admin)
  • update({ id, projectId, platformId, role }) — change member's role
  • delete(projectId, memberId) — remove from project
  • getIdsOfProjects({ userId, platformId }) — all project IDs user belongs to

Frontend: projectMembersApi.list/update/delete backed by projectMembersHooks.useProjectMembers(). MembersSettings component shows combined table of active members, platform admins/operators, and pending invitations.

Project Roles

Entity: id, name, permissions[] (string array), platformId (nullable), type (DEFAULT/CUSTOM).

Default roles (type=DEFAULT, platformId=null):

  • ADMIN: All 26 permissions
  • EDITOR: Read connections/flows/runs/tables, write flows/folders/tables, update flow status
  • VIEWER: Read-only on connections, flows, runs, tables, folders

Custom roles: Platform-scoped, created by platform admins with any combination of 26 permissions.

RBAC Enforcement

rbacService.assertPrincipalAccessToProject() routes by principal type:

  • USER: Looks up ProjectMember → gets ProjectRole → checks permission
  • ENGINE: Validates principal.projectId === requestedProjectId
  • SERVICE: Validates project.platformId === principal.platform.id

Project Releases (Git Sync)

Entity: id, projectId, name, description, importedBy (FK user), fileId (FK), type (GIT_BRANCH/MANUAL/ROLLBACK).

Release workflow:

  1. releasePlan() — compute diff (what flows/tables/connections would change)
  2. create() — apply diffs, serialize project state to File, record release
  3. Uses memory lock to prevent concurrent releases

Frontend: projectReleaseApi.diff() previews changes before commit. ApplyButton triggers create. ProjectReleasesPage lists history with rollback action per row.

Git sync (git-sync/):

  • Configure: SSH repo URL + branch + folder path
  • Push: exports published flows/tables to git repo
  • Pull: imports from git branch as release source
  • Individual item push supported (specific flows/tables)

Project Plan (Piece Filtering)

Entity: id, projectId (one-to-one), name, pieces[] (string array), piecesFilterType (NONE/ALLOWED), locked (boolean).

  • NONE: All pieces available
  • ALLOWED: Only pieces in pieces[] array visible
  • Platform-level filtering (FilteredPieceBehavior.ALLOWED/BLOCKED) applied first, then project-level

Platform Project Service

platformProjectService.getForPlatform() — lists projects with access control:

  • Platform admins: see all projects
  • Operators: see all projects except others' personal
  • Regular users: see own personal + team projects where member
