Role extends WebAPI
Represents a Role resource within an OAuth2 and RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) context.
This class extends the Schema.org WebAPI type to describe an authorization role entity
that groups a set of permissions and users. It integrates seamlessly with Casbin-based
access control models, where roles define collections of permissions granted to specific users.
Features
- Permissions management — Each role can include one or more Permission objects.
- User assignment — A role can be linked to multiple users.
- Counting properties — Provides quick access to the number of permissions or users attached.
- Hydration via attributes — Uses the
#[HydrateWith]attribute for reflective object construction.
Example
use xyz\oihana\schema\auth\Role;
use xyz\oihana\schema\auth\Permission;
$role = new Role();
$role->permissions = [
new Permission(subject: 'admin', domain: 'project', action: 'read'),
new Permission(subject: 'admin', domain: 'project', action: 'write'),
];
$role->permissionsCount = count($role->permissions);
$role->users = ['user:123', 'user:456'];
$role->usersCount = count($role->users);
Notes
- Roles can be linked to APIs or services defined by WebAPI.
- The
$permissionsand$usersarrays can be hydrated automatically using reflection when deserializing from structured data.

Keys listed here will always appear first in the serialized array, in the order specified. All remaining public properties will be sorted alphabetically after these priority keys.
This ensures that important JSON-LD metadata and system fields
(like @type, @context, _key, id, url, created, modified, etc.)
appear at the top of the output for consistency and readability.
Usage:
$orderedKeys = self::JSON_PRIORITY_KEYS;
Notes:
- Can be overridden in a subclass by redefining the constant.
- Late static binding (
static::JSON_PRIORITY_KEYS) allows child classes to modify the serialization order.
