Permission Matrix — cinder playground

Overview

A discrete matrix for scanning scope, role, or policy access across operations.

Use PermissionMatrix when each cell is an enumerated access state. Use MatrixChart when cell values are numeric magnitudes that need heatmap color interpolation.

Usage

<script lang="ts">
  import PermissionMatrix from '@lostgradient/cinder/permission-matrix';

  const rows = [{ id: 'workflows-admin', label: 'workflows:admin' }];
  const columns = [{ id: 'cancel', label: 'cancel' }];
</script>

<PermissionMatrix
  label="Scope matrix"
  {rows}
  {columns}
  getCellState={() => 'granted'}
  onCellClick={(row, column) => console.log(row.id, column.id)}
/>

When to use

Use when

Showing whether scopes, roles, or policy categories grant specific operations.
Each cell represents a discrete state such as granted, denied, or not applicable.

Avoid when

Showing numeric density or magnitude across two categorical dimensions — use matrix-chart instead.
Rendering editable permissions — use a purpose-built form or data-grid instead.

Examples

Scope matrix

A permission matrix showing which authorization scopes grant catalog operations.
