# Invalid permission debug

If you encounter an auth.invalid_permission error, the problem is that Barong doesn't have permissions for this endpoint. To investigate the issue, connect to Barong using bundle exec rails console and run the following command:

Permission.find_by(role: '*ROLE_OF_USER*', path: '*ENDPOINT*')

#Permission creation

You should create permission for this endpoint. Here is two way for creating it:

• Create a permission from the Tower admin panel.

• Create a permission using rails console:

  Permission.create!(action: '*ACTION*', role: 'ROLE_OF_USER', verb: '*METHOD*', path: '*ENDPOINT*')
  

  Available values for the action field:

  • accept - will provide access to endpoint.
  • drop - will restrict access to endpoint.
  • audit - will save activity for endpoint (NOTICE: audit value doesn't grant access to endpoint).

  Available values for the verb field: all, get, post, put, delete.

  After the permission was created, you'd need to clear the Rails cache by running the following command:

  Rails.cache.delete('permissions')
  

#Permission refresh

To refresh Barong permissions you'd need to clear the Rails cache, by running the following command:

Rails.cache.delete('permissions')

Please contact [email protected], if the problem persists after the aforementioned actions.
