In Mendix there isn’t a one‑click “export all roles with permissions” feature built into Studio Pro.

Hi Muhammed Iqbal M P

 

I don't think there is a build in feature but seems like possible with Mendix SDK,

I might not having much info but on high level try below steps,

The Mendix Platform SDK and Model SDK offer capabilities for programmatic interaction with Mendix applications, including the management of security settings like module roles and access rules.

  • Retrieve Module Security: 

    Access the ModuleSecurity object within the module to find its defined ModuleRole instances.

  • Extract Role Information: 

    For each ModuleRole, you can retrieve its name and other relevant properties.

  • Identify Access Rules: 

    Iterate through the entities and other securable elements (e.g., microflows, pages) within the module to find their associated AccessRule definitions.

 

 

  • // This is a conceptual example and requires a running Mendix Model SDK environment.// It assumes you have loaded a project and a specific module.

    // Assuming 'module' is an instance of projects.Moduleconst moduleSecurity = module.moduleSecurity;

    // Exporting Module Rolesconst moduleRoles = moduleSecurity.moduleRoles.map(role => ({    name: role.name,    // Add other role properties if needed}));

    console.log("Module Roles:", moduleRoles);

    // Exporting Entity Access Rules (Conceptual)// This would involve iterating through entities and their access rules// For example://

  • const entities = module.entities;//

  • const entityAccessRules = entities.flatMap

  • (entity =>//     entity.accessRules.map(rule => ({//entityName: entity.name,//         moduleRoles: rule.applicableTo.map(role => role.name),//         accessRights: {//             read: rule.canRead,//            

  • write: rule.canWrite,

  • // // ... other access types//         }//     }))// );//

  • console.log("Entity Access Rules:", entityAccessRules);

  • // Similar logic would apply for other securable elements like microflows and pages.

 Hope this helps.

Consider this as trial you might need some deeper search and findings once you start developing.
