FINERACT-263: Add Notes for Centers permission is missing #5346

Monica-CodingWorld · 2026-01-19T06:29:50Z

Description

This PR fixes missing permission handling for Center Notes in the Notes API.

Previously, when accessing notes for a CENTER resource, the request fell into the default case, resulting in a NoteResourceNotSupportedException. This allowed center notes to be accessed without proper, explicit permission mapping.

changes made:

Added CENTER enum value to NoteType
Added centerId field and withCenterId() method to CommandWrapperBuilder
Added CENTER case in NotesApiResource.getResourceDetails()
Enable separate permissions for Read, Create, Update, Delete center notes
Follows same permission pattern as existing GROUP notes

Hi reviewers,
This change updates the default handling in NotesApiResource#getResourceDetails to throw NoteResourceNotSupportedException instead of falling back to INVALIDNOTE, as discussed in FINERACT-263.Please let me know if there are any other files or cases you’d recommend updating as part of this fix.
I’d be happy to incorporate your feedback.
Thanks!

@IOhacker Thanks for the review. I've looked into the CI build failure. The error occurs because the addition of the centerId parameter to the CommandWrapper constructors requires updates in a few more places that instantiate the class. I have now identified and fixed these remaining instances (added null for the centerId parameter where appropriate) and have pushed the corrections. The build should pass now.

@IOhacker @adamsaghy SpotBugs is failing on SF_SWITCH_NO_DEFAULT in NoteWritePlatformServiceJpaRepositoryImpl.getNoteForDelete() (missing default case in switch statement). This appears to be an existing issue that SpotBugs is now catching after the rebase. Should I:

Fix the code - Add a default case to the switch statement, or
Add exclusion - Add SF_SWITCH_NO_DEFAULT exclusion to config/spotbugs/exclude.xml?

(edited)For now - i have fixed the code with a default case
The PR is now ready for review. Kindly review it once review when you have a moment.

regards
Monica

fineract-core/src/main/java/org/apache/fineract/commands/domain/CommandWrapper.java

    private final Long loanId;
    private final Long savingsId;
+    @SuppressFBWarnings(value = "URF_UNREAD_FIELD", justification = "Will be used for center-specific permissions")
+    private final Long centerId;


Center is a group no? I would rather not introduce new field. Kindly asking you to use the entityId + entityName is needed instead.

adamsaghy · 2026-01-26T12:51:30Z

config/spotbugs/exclude.xml

+    <Match>
+        <Class name="org.apache.fineract.commands.domain.CommandWrapper" />
+        <Field name="centerId" />
+        <Bug pattern="URF_UNREAD_FIELD" />
+    </Match>


We dont want this rule to exclude!

            }
-            default -> resourceNameForPermissions = INVALIDNOTE;
+            case CENTER -> {
+                resourceNameForPermissions = CENTERNOTE;


There is no such permission... you must add it before it can be used!

Kindly see my concerns + you need to add proper testing (integration test / E2E).

Hi @adamsaghy,
Thanks for the detailed feedback - really appreciate you taking the time to go through this thoroughly.
You're absolutely right on all counts. Looking back, I took the wrong approach with the centerId field - I'll refactor to use entityId + entityType like you suggested.
Also totally missed the permission migrations, my bad. I'll add those properly also will add the integration tests.

Quick question on the SpotBugs fix - I actually already removed the exclusion and fixed the switch statement with a default case. Hope that's the right way to handle it?

Will push the fixes shortly. Thanks again for the guidance.
Regards,
Monica
