Rules

When creating a rule, you specify a collection, predicate/s, and smart functions. That rule can then be connected to particular users and auth records.

For example, a user can be connected to a rule regarding the person collection and the person/handle predicate. If they issue a query or transaction that includues person/handle, then the smart functions attached to the rule are triggered.

  • If all of the smart functions return true, then the transaction goes through or the query results get returned.

  • If at least one of the smart functions returns false, then the transaction is rejected, or, in the case of a query, the results are returned without person/handle.
