Purpose

Fixes wso2/product-is#27724.

The AI Agent creation actions are visible to administrators who have Agent read permission but do not have permission to create agents.

This change checks the configured Agent create scope using useRequiredScopes and only renders the Agent creation actions when the current user has the required permission.

The fix applies to both:

  • The New Agent button shown when agents already exist.
  • The New Agent button shown in the empty state.

Testing

Tested locally with WSO2 Identity Server 7.3.0.

Verified the following scenarios:

  • A privileged user with Agent view permission but without Agent create/edit permission can access and view the Agents page, but the New Agent action is not visible.
  • The create action is hidden when agents already exist.
  • The create action is hidden in the empty state.
  • An administrator with Agent create permission can still see and use the New Agent action.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The agents page derives create permissions from the configured create scope. The header and empty-state “New Agent” actions render only for users with create permissions. Tests cover the denied empty-state action, and a patch changeset records the behavior.

Changes

Agent creation permission gating

Layer / File(s) Summary
Derive and apply create permissions
features/admin.agents.v1/pages/agents.tsx
The page reads the agent feature configuration, derives hasAgentCreatePermissions with useRequiredScopes, and gates the header action and AgentList prop.
Conditionally render list creation action
features/admin.agents.v1/components/agent-list.tsx
AgentList accepts the permission flag and renders the empty-state “New Agent” button only when creation is allowed.
Validate permission-based rendering and release metadata
features/admin.agents.v1/components/__tests__/agent-list.test.tsx, .changeset/hide-agent-create-without-permission.md
Tests verify the hidden action without permission and update button attributes. The changeset declares patch releases for the affected packages.

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 08524

The Agents page now hides New Agent actions from users without the configured create scope while retaining them for authorized users. The denied empty-state behavior is covered by tests, with no concrete merge-blocking risk identified.

Add an explicit return type to the selector.

The callback annotates state but relies on return-type inference. Add the exact return type of state.config.ui.features.agents, including nullability when applicable.

As per coding guidelines, useSelector callbacks must declare both the selector parameter type and the return type.

Add a data-componentid to the header creation button.
