Lindy Enterprise RBAC

Overview

Implement enterprise-grade role-based access control for Lindy AI.

Prerequisites

• Lindy Enterprise account
• Admin access to organization
• Understanding of organizational structure

Instructions

Step 1: Define Roles

// rbac/roles.ts
interface Role {
  name: string;
  description: string;
  permissions: Permission[];
}

enum Permission {
  // Agent permissions
  AGENT_CREATE = 'agent:create',
  AGENT_READ = 'agent:read',
  AGENT_UPDATE = 'agent:update',
  AGENT_DELETE = 'agent:delete',
  AGENT_RUN = 'agent:run',

  // Automation permissions
  AUTOMATION_CREATE = 'automation:create',
  AUTOMATION_READ = 'automation:read',
  AUTOMATION_UPDATE = 'automation:update',
  AUTOMATION_DELETE = 'automation:delete',

  // Admin permissions
  USER_MANAGE = 'user:manage',
  BILLING_VIEW = 'billing:view',
  AUDIT_VIEW = 'audit:view',
  SETTINGS_MANAGE = 'settings:manage',
}

const roles: Role[] = [
  {
    name: 'viewer',
    description: 'Read-only access to agents and runs',
    permissions: [
      Permission.AGENT_READ,
      Permission.AUTOMATION_READ,
    ],
  },
  {
    name: 'developer',
    description: 'Create and manage agents',
    permissions: [
      Permission.AGENT_CREATE,
      Permission.AGENT_READ,
      Permission.AGENT_UPDATE,
      Permission.AGENT_RUN,
      Permission.AUTOMATION_CREATE,
      Permission.AUTOMATION_READ,
      Permission.AUTOMATION_UPDATE,
    ],
  },
  {
    name: 'operator',
    description: 'Run agents and view automations',
    permissions: [
      Permission.AGENT_READ,
      Permission.AGENT_RUN,
      Permission.AUTOMATION_READ,
    ],
  },
  {
    name: 'admin',
    description: 'Full administrative access',
    permissions: Object.values(Permission),
  },
];

Step 2: Implement Permission Checker

// rbac/checker.ts
import { Lindy } from '@lindy-ai/sdk';

class PermissionChecker {
  private lindy: Lindy;
  private userPermissions: Map<string, Permission[]> = new Map();

  constructor() {
    this.lindy = new Lindy({ apiKey: process.env.LINDY_API_KEY });
  }

  async loadUserPermissions(userId: string): Promise<Permission[]> {
    // Get user's role from Lindy
    const user = await this.lindy.users.get(userId);
    const role = roles.find(r => r.name === user.role);

    if (!role) {
      throw new Error(`Unknown role: ${user.role}`);
    }

    this.userPermissions.set(userId, role.permissions);
    return role.permissions;
  }

  hasPermission(userId: string, permission: Permission): boolean {
    const permissions = this.userPermissions.get(userId);
    if (!permissions) {
      return false;
    }
    return permissions.includes(permission);
  }

  requirePermission(userId: string, permission: Permission): void {
    if (!this.hasPermission(userId, permission)) {
      throw new Error(`Permission denied: ${permission}`);
    }
  }
}

Step 3: Create Protected Operations

// rbac/protected-lindy.ts
import { Lindy } from '@lindy-ai/sdk';
import { PermissionChecker, Permission } from './checker';

class ProtectedLindy {
  private lindy: Lindy;
  private checker: PermissionChecker;
  private currentUserId: string;

  constructor(userId: string) {
    this.lindy = new Lindy({ apiKey: process.env.LINDY_API_KEY });
    this.checker = new PermissionChecker();
    this.currentUserId = userId;
  }

  async createAgent(config: any) {
    this.checker.requirePermission(this.currentUserId, Permission.AGENT_CREATE);
    return this.lindy.agents.create(config);
  }

  async runAgent(agentId: string, input: string) {
    this.checker.requirePermission(this.currentUserId, Permission.AGENT_RUN);
    return this.lindy.agents.run(agentId, { input });
  }

  async deleteAgent(agentId: string) {
    this.checker.requirePermission(this.currentUserId, Permission.AGENT_DELETE);
    return this.lindy.agents.delete(agentId);
  }

  async viewBilling() {
    this.checker.requirePermission(this.currentUserId, Permission.BILLING_VIEW);
    return this.lindy.billing.current();
  }
}

Step 4: Team Management

// rbac/teams.ts
interface Team {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  members: TeamMember[];
  agents: string[]; // Agent IDs accessible to team
}

interface TeamMember {
  userId: string;
  role: string;
  addedAt: Date;
}

class TeamManager {
  private lindy: Lindy;

  constructor() {
    this.lindy = new Lindy({ apiKey: process.env.LINDY_API_KEY });
  }

  async createTeam(name: string, adminUserId: string): Promise<Team> {
    const team = await this.lindy.teams.create({
      name,
      members: [{ userId: adminUserId, role: 'admin' }],
    });
    return team;
  }

  async addMember(teamId: string, userId: string, role: string): Promise<void> {
    await this.lindy.teams.addMember(teamId, { userId, role });
  }

  async removeMember(teamId: string, userId: string): Promise<void> {
    await this.lindy.teams.removeMember(teamId, userId);
  }

  async assignAgentToTeam(teamId: string, agentId: string): Promise<void> {
    await this.lindy.teams.assignAgent(teamId, agentId);
  }

  async canAccessAgent(userId: string, agentId: string): Promise<boolean> {
    const teams = await this.lindy.teams.list({ userId });

    for (const team of teams) {
      if (team.agents.includes(agentId)) {
        return true;
      }
    }

    return false;
  }
}

Step 5: Audit Logging

// rbac/audit.ts
interface AuditEvent {
  timestamp: Date;
  userId: string;
  action: string;
  resource: string;
  resourceId: string;
  result: 'success' | 'denied' | 'error';
  metadata?: Record<string, any>;
}

class AuditLogger {
  async log(event: Omit<AuditEvent, 'timestamp'>): Promise<void> {
    const auditEvent: AuditEvent = {
      ...event,
      timestamp: new Date(),
    };

    // Store audit log
    console.log('AUDIT:', JSON.stringify(auditEvent));

    // Send to SIEM if configured
    if (process.env.SIEM_ENDPOINT) {
      await fetch(process.env.SIEM_ENDPOINT, {
        method: 'POST',
        body: JSON.stringify(auditEvent),
      });
    }
  }
}

// Wrap operations with audit logging
async function auditedOperation<T>(
  operation: () => Promise<T>,
  eventDetails: Omit<AuditEvent, 'timestamp' | 'result'>
): Promise<T> {
  const audit = new AuditLogger();

  try {
    const result = await operation();
    await audit.log({ ...eventDetails, result: 'success' });
    return result;
  } catch (error: any) {
    const result = error.message.includes('Permission denied') ? 'denied' : 'error';
    await audit.log({ ...eventDetails, result, metadata: { error: error.message } });
    throw error;
  }
}

[ ] SSO integration (if applicable)
[ ] MFA enforced for admins

• Permission checker

• Team management
• Audit logging

Error Handling

Issue	Cause	Solution
Permission denied	Missing role	Assign correct role
Role not found	Invalid role	Check role definitions
Audit failed	SIEM down	Queue and retry

Examples

Complete RBAC Setup

async function setupRBAC() {
  const lindy = new Lindy({ apiKey: process.env.LINDY_API_KEY });

  // Create teams
  const devTeam = await lindy.teams.create({ name: 'Development' });
  const opsTeam = await lindy.teams.create({ name: 'Operations' });

  // Add members with roles
  await lindy.teams.addMember(devTeam.id, { userId: 'user1', role: 'developer' });
  await lindy.teams.addMember(opsTeam.id, { userId: 'user2', role: 'operator' });

  console.log('RBAC configured successfully');
}
