Impersonate Users - Blazor WASM

[tvddev]

v4.4.2
Blazor WASM

User impersonation still needs to be released for Blazor WASM.

This will be easier to track than the previously Closed issue. #1082 .

[tvddev]

@maliming - i see 4.4 patch is 100% complete, any update on when this will be released?

[maliming]

hi @tvddev

I remembered something wrong, sorry for that.
I solved the simulation problem of the Blazor Server.
The Blazor WASM is still restricted, it can't simulate tenants/users.

Hello,

I just upgraded to 4.4.3 and it seems to be still not implemented for MVC?

Guys, I really appreciate your work and I don't want to blame you, but the information policy regarding this feature is horrible :-(
We are waiting for over a year now. Originally it was planned for 3.2, then 3.3,... now we are on 4.4. In August, it was promised to be "available this month". Now it's October and we still have no reliable information. :-(

We are all developers and we know that sometimes features delay, but please give us more information about the progress. It's an extremely important feature.

@hikalkan - Can we get an update please, this is a really critical feature for us.

[tvddev]

Is there an update on this critical issue?

We've upgraded the CLI to 4.4.4 and are using ABP Commercial v5.0.0-rc.1

We can now see the new permissions to enable Tenant impersonation through the SaaS module when logged in as the host admin, and we can also see the Identity management permission to impersonate users both as a host and as a tenant admin.

However, applying these permissions to both the host admin and the tenant admin does not yield the menu items shown in the associated item linked to the OP of this thread.

@hikalkan @maliming is this feature still disabled/hidden for all editions? Or only hidden for v5? Any eta when this will be made available? If it works for MVC single tiered, why not just release that?

Thanks for your patience and effort in helping us all.

@maliming - Are you saying impersonation is available for Blazor WASM in v5.0 RC1?

[maliming]

hi

Blazor wasm does not support this feature.

[tvddev]

When will it be avaialable for Blazor WASM??, it's such a basic really important feature for SaaS.

[maliming]

This is a limitation of Blazor, and there is nothing we can do at the moment.

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

[tvddev]

Is there an update/plan to fix this?

[tvddev]

If anyone is interested in doing this and getting paid for it, we would be keen to contribute/pay depending on how much.

[tvddev]

@maliming @hikalkan - Is there any progress on this?

[maliming]

hi

No progress at the moment, this is mostly Blazor WASM related.

[tvddev]

@maliming @hikalkan - Please can we have an update on when this will be available?

[maliming]

hi @tvddev There is no news. We are still limited by Blazor WASM.

[tvddev]

@maliming @hikalkan - Are you able to tell us what it is about Blazor WASM that limits this? Someone in the community may have an idea as to how to unblock this.

[maliming]

We cannot customize BlazorWASM's authentication components/services.

[tvddev]

There are lots of different ways to authenticate with Blazor; AAD, Google, standalone authentication, etc etc, what components/services can't you customise?

[tvddev]

So why wait for microsoft?

[maliming]

We use Microsoft's framework, if it doesn't support we can't do anything.

[a-a-k]

@maliming is that impersonation feature available for commercial version only, right?

[maliming]

Yes, but Blazor wasm does not support this.

[a-a-k]

Yes, but Blazor wasm does not support this.

I understand, I'm talking about the feature itself. Thanks for such a flash answer :)
Could you also clarify, is the commercial version source open or partially open?

[maliming]

The Business and Enterprise include the source code of all modules.

[tvddev]

This is a major issue for any company doing SaaS.

If anyone wants to do this work we will contribute $$ we just cant sparenthe time right now.

[tvddev]

@hikalkan Any update on this now v7 is out?

[maliming]

hi @tvddev

Blazor wasm still not supported yet.

[tvddev]

@hikalkan @maliming Will this be supported for v7.1?, this issue is critical for SaaS products and has been ongoing for almost 4 years, can it be prioritised now?

[maliming]

hi

Since this is a limitation of blazor wasm, there is nothing we can do.

[apiarysolutions]

Is there any update on this now .Net version is released?

[maliming]

hi

I will check this again after adding the Blazor full stack web UI feature.

[apiarysolutions]

Any update now #18876 is done?

[maliming]

It still can't be achieved. We can't do anything.
