Hi, I am trying to use scopes in a golang project. After defining the policies with scope. I don't see how I can set the scope on the resource I am validating, e.g. when you call the IsAllowed method of the PrincipalContext, how does it know what scope to start from?

Hey are you using the Go Client SDK? There is a

Scope

attribute on both the Principal and Resource types. Let me see if I can find an example

Hmm..I could swear there was a

WithScope

method on both principal and resource objects but I don't see it in the docs. I am not near a computer right now. Will double check when I am back.

There is scope in both cases for the underlying struct but for the client model they are both encapsulated.

type Resource struct {
    r   *enginev1.Resource
    err error
}

no way of getting to r. Similar with principal too.

Yes that looks to be an oversight - thanks for flagging, we are looking into it now.

This is now fixed in trunk. We'll try to get a tagged release out very soon. In the mean time, you can try it out with

go get <http://github.com/cerbos/cerbos/client@main|github.com/cerbos/cerbos/client@main>

nice one, thanks @Charith (Cerbos)

FYI: just released v0.19.1 with this fix.
