Create usePermissionCheck Hook to Manage Role-Based UI Access

Description:
Develop a hook to check user permissions and return whether a certain action, component, or route should be accessible. Useful for conditionally rendering UI or protecting routes.
Why it's important:
Role-based access control (RBAC) is critical in multi-role applications. Centralizing the logic avoids repeated conditionals and keeps code cleaner.
Acceptance Criteria:

• Accepts user role(s) or permission list from context or props.
• Accepts required permission(s) or role(s) as input.
• Returns boolean or throws if unauthorized (configurable).
• Can be used inside components or guards (<PrivateRoute> style).

Hello my name is Raymond. I'd like to create this usePermissionCheck hook for managing role-based access control in React applications.
Here's my straightforward approach:
Step 1: Create the permission-checking logic

Build a hook that compares user permissions with required permissions
Return a boolean result for easy conditional rendering

Step 2: Add context for user data

Create a simple context to provide user roles/permissions
Make it accessible throughout the app

Step 3: Build demo components

Show how to use the hook for conditional rendering
Create a simple route guard example

Front End Dev here, and I would love to give this a shot

Hey! I'm a frontend developer and I'd love to take on this task. I’ll create a usePermissionCheck hook that cleanly handles role-based or permission-based UI access across your app. The idea is to keep things simple and declarative—accept the current user's role or permissions, compare them to what's required, and return a boolean (or throw if needed). It'll work inside components or higher-order guards like , making it easy to protect routes or conditionally show elements without cluttering your JSX with conditionals.

Hi there,

I have experience in Frontend, and would like to give this a shot.

Also, I'm from the fellowship and would like to actively contribute to the repo more. Would love to check out other issues.

I’ve built and used centralized permission systems in multi-role applications before, including reusable usePermissionCheck-style hooks for UI control and route protection.

For this task, I’ll implement a hook that:

Accepts user roles/permissions from context or props

Accepts required roles or permissions as input

Returns a boolean or throws (configurable)

Works inside components or wrappers like

The goal is to keep RBAC logic clean, reusable, and easy to extend as roles or permissions evolve. I’ve delivered similar logic in past projects and can do so again here efficiently.

Hello! I’m Sofi Barboza, a member of Dojo Coding ⛩ and a Dev3 Pack fellow.

With experience in React, Typescript, and clean architecture, I’d love to take on this issue. Here’s how I plan to approach it:

1. Create a reusable usePermissionCheck hook that supports role-based access control (RBAC).
2. Accept user roles or permissions from context or props.
3. Accept required role(s)/permission(s) as input.
4. Return a boolean or throw an error based on config, allowing flexible usage.
5. Ensure it works seamlessly with both UI components and route guards (e.g., style).
6. Add documentation and tests to ensure clarity and reliability.

Excited to contribute a modular and clean solution to help manage RBAC across the project! 🔐

Hi! I’d like to work on this issue. I have experience with React and RBAC, and can build a clean usePermissionCheck hook that supports both component and route-level access control. I’ll ensure it’s flexible, well-documented, and easy to use.
