Gamma Enterprise Rbac

Gamma Enterprise RBAC

Overview

Implement role-based access control for Gamma API integrations. Gamma's API uses a single API key per workspace -- granular permissions must be implemented in your application layer. The Teams and Business plans support workspace-level collaboration with shared themes and folders.

Prerequisites

• Gamma Teams or Business subscription
• Application database for user/role storage
• Completed gamma-install-auth setup

Gamma Access Model

Gamma Workspace (1 API key)
├── Themes (shared across workspace)
├── Folders (shared across workspace)
└── Generations (tied to API key, not individual users)

Your Application Layer (you implement this):
├── Organization
│   ├── Admin (manage API key, configure themes)
│   ├── Editor (generate presentations, use templates)
│   ├── Viewer (view generated presentations, download exports)
│   └── Guest (no generation access)

Key point: Gamma's API does not have per-user authentication. All API calls use the workspace API key. You must enforce per-user permissions in your application.

Instructions

Step 1: Define Role Hierarchy

// src/auth/gamma-roles.ts
type GammaRole = "guest" | "viewer" | "editor" | "admin";

const PERMISSIONS: Record<GammaRole, string[]> = {
  guest: [],
  viewer: ["generation:view", "export:download"],
  editor: ["generation:view", "generation:create", "export:download", "template:use"],
  admin: [
    "generation:view", "generation:create", "export:download",
    "template:use", "template:manage", "theme:manage",
    "settings:manage", "member:manage",
  ],
};

function hasPermission(role: GammaRole, permission: string): boolean {
  return PERMISSIONS[role]?.includes(permission) ?? false;
}

Step 2: Authorization Middleware

// src/middleware/gamma-auth.ts
import { Request, Response, NextFunction } from "express";

function requireGammaPermission(permission: string) {
  return (req: Request, res: Response, next: NextFunction) => {
    const user = req.user; // Set by your auth middleware
    if (!user) return res.status(401).json({ error: "Unauthorized" });

    if (!hasPermission(user.gammaRole, permission)) {
      return res.status(403).json({
        error: "Forbidden",
        required: permission,
        userRole: user.gammaRole,
      });
    }
    next();
  };
}

// Usage
app.post("/api/presentations",
  requireGammaPermission("generation:create"),
  async (req, res) => {
    const gamma = createGammaClient({ apiKey: process.env.GAMMA_API_KEY! });
    const { generationId } = await gamma.generate(req.body);
    // Track ownership in your database
    await db.generations.create({
      data: { generationId, userId: req.user.id, teamId: req.user.teamId },
    });
    res.json({ generationId });
  }
);

app.get("/api/presentations/:id",
  requireGammaPermission("generation:view"),
  async (req, res) => {
    // Only return if user owns it or is in the same team
    const gen = await db.generations.findFirst({
      where: { generationId: req.params.id, teamId: req.user.teamId },
    });
    if (!gen) return res.status(404).json({ error: "Not found" });
    res.json(gen);
  }
);

Step 3: Multi-Tenant Workspace Isolation

// src/tenant/gamma-tenant.ts
// Each tenant can have their own Gamma workspace (API key)
// or share a workspace with resource-level isolation

interface Tenant {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  gammaApiKey: string; // Encrypted in database
}

class TenantGammaService {
  private clients = new Map<string, ReturnType<typeof createGammaClient>>();

  getClient(tenant: Tenant) {
    if (!this.clients.has(tenant.id)) {
      this.clients.set(
        tenant.id,
        createGammaClient({ apiKey: tenant.gammaApiKey })
      );
    }
    return this.clients.get(tenant.id)!;
  }

  async generate(tenant: Tenant, userId: string, content: string, options: any = {}) {
    const gamma = this.getClient(tenant);
    const { generationId } = await gamma.generate({
      content,
      ...options,
    });

    // Track with tenant isolation
    await db.generations.create({
      data: { generationId, tenantId: tenant.id, userId },
    });

    return { generationId };
  }
}

Step 4: Credit Quota Per User/Team

// src/quota/gamma-quotas.ts
interface Quota {
  maxGenerationsPerDay: number;
  maxCreditsPerMonth: number;
}

const ROLE_QUOTAS: Record<GammaRole, Quota> = {
  guest: { maxGenerationsPerDay: 0, maxCreditsPerMonth: 0 },
  viewer: { maxGenerationsPerDay: 0, maxCreditsPerMonth: 0 },
  editor: { maxGenerationsPerDay: 10, maxCreditsPerMonth: 500 },
  admin: { maxGenerationsPerDay: 50, maxCreditsPerMonth: 5000 },
};

async function checkQuota(userId: string, role: GammaRole): Promise<boolean> {
  const quota = ROLE_QUOTAS[role];
  if (quota.maxGenerationsPerDay === 0) return false;

  const todayCount = await db.generations.count({
    where: {
      userId,
      createdAt: { gte: new Date(new Date().toDateString()) },
    },
  });

  return todayCount < quota.maxGenerationsPerDay;
}

Step 5: Audit Logging

// src/audit/gamma-audit.ts
async function auditGammaAction(entry: {
  userId: string;
  teamId: string;
  action: string;
  resourceId?: string;
  metadata?: Record<string, any>;
}) {
  await db.auditLog.create({
    data: {
      ...entry,
      timestamp: new Date(),
      service: "gamma",
    },
  });
}

// Usage
await auditGammaAction({
  userId: req.user.id,
  teamId: req.user.teamId,
  action: "generation.create",
  resourceId: generationId,
  metadata: { outputFormat: "presentation", credits: result.creditsUsed },
});
