Adapters

This guide explains adapters. In Casbin, an adapter loads and saves policy rules, for example from a database table. In Casdoor, you configure an adapter in the admin console and then view and edit its policies there.

Learning outcomes

Configure the adapter

1. In the Casdoor admin console, open the Adapters page and add an adapter.

2. Fill in the fields:

   Field	Description
   Type	Kind of adapter. Only Database is available
   Host, Port, User, Password	Connection to the database
   Database type	MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle, or SQLite 3
   Database	Name of the database
   Table	Name of the table. Casdoor creates it if it doesn't exist

   

3. Save the adapter.

4. Click Sync to load the policies into the table on the page.

   

Edit the policies

A new policy appears at the top of the table but is stored at the end. After the next sync, it appears in the stored order.
