Service Design Specification - Object Design for userGroupMember
workforceos-auth-service documentation
Document Overview
This document outlines the object design for the userGroupMember model in our application. It includes details about the model’s attributes, relationships, and any specific validation or business logic that applies.
userGroupMember Data Object
Object Overview
Description: A data object that stores the members of the user group.
This object represents a core data structure within the service and acts as the blueprint for database interaction, API generation, and business logic enforcement.
It is defined using the ObjectSettings pattern, which governs its behavior, access control, caching strategy, and integration points with other systems such as Stripe and Redis.
Core Configuration
- Soft Delete: Enabled — Determines whether records are marked inactive (
isActive = false) instead of being physically deleted. - Public Access: accessProtected — If enabled, anonymous users may access this object’s data depending on API-level rules.
- Tenant-Level Scope: Yes — Enables data isolation per tenant by attaching a tenant ID field.
Redis Entity Caching
This data object is configured for Redis entity caching, which improves data retrieval performance by storing frequently accessed data in Redis. Each time a new instance is created, updated or deleted, the cache is updated accordingly. Any get requests by id will first check the cache before querying the database. If you want to use the cache by other select criteria, you can configure any data property as a Redis cluster.
Composite Indexes
- uniqueUserInGroup: [userId, groupId] This composite index is defined to optimize query performance for complex queries involving multiple fields.
The index also defines a conflict resolution strategy for duplicate key violations.
When a new record would violate this composite index, the following action will be taken:
On Duplicate: doUpdate
The existing record will be updated with the new data.No error will be thrown.
Properties Schema
| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
groupId |
ID | Yes | An ID value to represent the group that the user is asssigned as a memeber to. |
userId |
ID | Yes | An ID value to represent the user that is assgined as a member to the group. |
ownerId |
ID | Yes | An ID value to represent the admin user who assgined the member. |
companyId |
ID | Yes | An ID value to represent the tenant id of the company |
- Required properties are mandatory for creating objects and must be provided in the request body if no default value is set.
- Properties marked
Type[] (array)MUST be sent as a JSON array (e.g.["a","b"]), even when only one value is present (["a"]). Sending a bare scalar fails validation.
Default Values
Default values are automatically assigned to properties when a new object is created, if no value is provided in the request body. Since default values are applied on db level, they should be literal values, not expressions.If you want to use expressions, you can use transposed parameters in any business API to set default values dynamically.
- groupId: ‘00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000’
- userId: ‘00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000’
- ownerId: ‘00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000’
- companyId: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
Constant Properties
groupId userId ownerId companyId
Constant properties are defined to be immutable after creation, meaning they cannot be updated or changed once set. They are typically used for properties that should remain constant throughout the object’s lifecycle.
A property is set to be constant if the Allow Update option is set to false.
Elastic Search Indexing
groupId userId ownerId companyId
Properties that are indexed in Elastic Search will be searchable via the Elastic Search API. While all properties are stored in the elastic search index of the data object, only those marked for Elastic Search indexing will be available for search queries.
Database Indexing
groupId userId ownerId companyId
Properties that are indexed in the database will be optimized for query performance, allowing for faster data retrieval. Make a property indexed in the database if you want to use it frequently in query filters or sorting.
Cache Select Properties
groupId userId ownerId
Cache select properties are used to collect data from Redis entity cache with a different key than the data object id. This allows you to cache data that is not directly related to the data object id, but a frequently used filter.
Secondary Key Properties
companyId
Secondary key properties are used to create an additional indexed identifiers for the data object, allowing for alternative access patterns. Different than normal indexed properties, secondary keys will act as primary keys and Mindbricks will provide automatic secondary key db utility functions to access the data object by the secondary key.
Session-sourced Properties
ownerId
These properties have source: 'session' — their values are read from the authenticated session at create/update time and cannot be supplied in the request body.
- ownerId: ID property will be mapped to the session parameter
userId.
Filter Properties
groupId userId ownerId companyId
Filter properties are used to define parameters that can be used in query filters, allowing for dynamic data retrieval based on user input or predefined criteria. These properties are automatically mapped as API parameters in the listing API’s that have “Auto Params” enabled.
