Overview

Note:

"Not readable by X" excludes rows readable by X directly, via any role X inherits, AND publicly — so a User value expands its roles and the public +"*"+ is always added to the exclusion set.

Note:

This constraint uses aggregation pipeline because Parse Server restricts direct queries on the internal _rperm field.

ACL NOT Readable By Constraint Query objects that are NOT readable by the specified users/roles. Useful for finding objects hidden from specific users.

Examples:

Find objects NOT readable by a user (hidden from them)

Song.query.where(:acl.not_readable_by => current_user)

Find objects NOT publicly readable

Song.query.where(:acl.not_readable_by => "*")
Song.query.where(:acl.not_readable_by => :public)

  # Find objects whose _rperm EXISTS and does NOT contain any of the
  # keys. The `$exists: true` guard is essential: Parse Server treats a
  # missing `_rperm` as publicly readable, and MongoDB's `$nin` matches
  # documents where the field is absent. Without the guard,
  # `not_readable_by("*")` (i.e. #not_publicly_readable) would MATCH the
  # public-by-absence rows it is meant to exclude — inverting the result
  # and giving a security audit a false sense of safety.
