ProtectedAfterProtectedAfterProtectedAfterProtectedapplyProtectedArrayFilters encrypted fields for an array of data objects
Optionalprovider: IMetadataProviderProtectedArrayArray form of MapFieldNamesToCodeNames. Returns a NEW array of NEW objects; neither the input array nor its rows are modified. Both matter: the cache freezes the array as well as the rows it contains, so collecting the mapped copies (rather than mapping in place and returning the original) is what makes this safe on cache-served input.
OptionalcontextUser: UserInfoOptionalprovider: IMetadataProviderProtectedassertSECURITY — GraphQL-boundary screen for one client-supplied SQL clause fragment.
ValidateUserProvidedSQLClause still blocks stacked statements, DML, comments, UNION
and WAITFOR, and still permits SELECT (server-internal engines pass richer filters).
A keyword ban on SELECT/EXISTS at this boundary (#4253) broke first-party clients that
use IN (SELECT … FROM <entity base view>) — that is a legitimate ExtraFilter.
This screen uses @memberjunction/sql-parser (same wrap as EDS assertReadOnlyClause):
wrap the fragment as a single SELECT, fail closed if it does not parse as a read, then
allow a FROM only when it is an entity BaseView. Base tables (Meeting, __mj.User)
and catalogs are rejected. Server-internal RunView callers never hit this.
RLS is applied by RunView as an outer WHERE around the entity being queried, not compiled into the view. Subqueries against another entity's BaseView therefore do not inherit that entity's RLS; they are still restricted to the view (not the table).
Optionalprovider: IMetadataProviderProtectedBeforeProtectedBeforeProtectedBeforeProtectedBuildThe CodeNames this user may read on this entity, for the field-security transport key — or null when there is nothing to state (no denials, so every field is readable and the client needs no help distinguishing a withheld null from a genuine one).
Carries entity field NAMES, not CodeNames and not the _mj__ transport shape. The client
consumes this after it has already reversed the transport mapping, and it matches names
against EntityFieldInfo.Name — the same key the denied set itself is built from. Sending
the one shape both sides already agree on avoids a second mapping that could drift.
ProtectedCheckChecks API key scope authorization. Only performs check if request was authenticated via API key (apiKeyHash present in userPayload). For OAuth/JWT auth, this is a no-op.
The scope path (e.g., 'entity:read', 'agent:execute')
The resource name (e.g., entity name, agent name)
The user payload from context
ProtectedCheckOptionalprovider: IMetadataProviderProtectedcreateProtectedCreateProtectedcreateProtectedDeleteProtectedEmitProtectedFilterFilters encrypted field values before sending to the API client.
For each encrypted field in the entity:
Name of the entity
The data object containing field values
User context for encryption operations
Optionalprovider: IMetadataProviderThe filtered data object
ProtectedfindProtectedgetProtectedGetProtectedGetProtectedListenProtectedLoadLoads a single external-data-source-backed entity record by primary key and returns it in GraphQL field-name (CodeName) shape, or null if not found.
External entities (Entity.ExternalDataSourceID set) have no MJ base view or sproc — their
data is proxied live from a remote system — so the generated single-record resolver cannot run
SELECT * FROM <baseView>. Instead it loads through a BaseEntity object, whose InnerLoad
the data provider dispatches to the external read router's LoadExternalRecord (a composite-key
aware, quoted, parameter-bound single-record lookup), applying the same RLS gate and field
post-processing (decryption / datetime normalization) as the MJ-DB path. The caller is
responsible for the CheckUserReadPermissions gate beforehand.
ProtectedMapMaps field names to their GraphQL-safe CodeNames and handles encryption for API responses.
For encrypted fields coming from raw SQL queries (not entity objects):
Returns a COPY — dataObject is never written to. Callers routinely pass rows straight
from findBy/RunView, which are the server cache's own objects held by reference, and
LocalCacheManager deep-freezes them. Renaming in place therefore threw
Cannot add property _mj__CreatedAt, object is not extensible on every UserByEmail /
UserByID / UserByEmployeeID call and on every generated single-record resolver whose
entity has caching enabled. (Before the freeze it did something worse but quieter: it
rewrote the cached row's keys, so later readers were served transport-shaped rows that
BaseEntity.SetMany rejects.) Copying here fixes every call site at once and makes the
hazard unreachable for future ones.

The data object with field values. Not modified.

ProtectedMustWhether UpdateRecord must hydrate the entity from the DATABASE rather than from the
client's OldValues___.
The OldValues___ path exists as an optimization: when nothing needs the true prior state,
the client already holds it and a round trip is wasted. Each condition below is a reason
that assumption fails.
EnableFieldLevelSecurity is the security-critical one, and it is NOT redundant with
hasDeniedReadFields. That flag reports READ denials, and the canonical FLS configuration is
Read Allow + Update Deny — which leaves it false. Such a caller would be hydrated from its own
OldValues___, and a value it supplies there for an update-denied field arrives through
LoadFromData, which the EntityField setter records as that field's INITIAL value. The
field is therefore not dirty, BaseEntity.CheckFieldLevelUpdatePermissions only rejects
field.Dirty && denied, and GenerateSaveSQL sends every IsSPParameter field regardless of
dirtiness (it skips only NotLoaded). The fabricated value reached spUpdate having passed
every check: pinning a value in OldValues___ was a write to a field the caller may not write.
Forcing the truth-load closes that rather than relocating it. The entity is hydrated by
InnerLoad from the real row, and TestAndSetClientOldValuesToDBValues reads the client's
OldValues only to detect concurrent-edit overlap before ending in SetMany(clientNewValues) —
it never applies them to the entity. An update-denied field can then only become dirty by being
named in the mutation input itself, which is precisely the case that check does catch.
Ordered so the boolean flag is evaluated last: the extra load lands only on entities that have the feature switched on, which is almost none of them.
ProtectedpackageProtectedPublishPublishes a CACHE_INVALIDATION event to connected browser clients after a successful entity save or delete. Includes the originSessionId so the originating browser can skip redundant re-fetches (it already handled the event locally).
ProtectedPublishPublishes a push-status update to the client on PUSH_STATUS_UPDATES_TOPIC, stamping the
authenticated owner's user ID from userPayload so the subscription filter can bind delivery
to identity (see B49 / statusUpdatesFilter). The ergonomic wrapper every resolver should use
instead of calling pubSub.publish on the topic directly — it makes omitting identity
impossible. Non-resolver publishers (services, the liveness heartbeat) call the shared
publishStatusUpdate() function directly with an explicit ownerUserId.
ProtectedReverseReverse-maps GraphQL-safe field names back to entity CodeNames in a mutation input object.
For example, _mj__integration_SyncStatus is mapped back to __mj_integration_SyncStatus.
Also reverse-maps keys inside the OldValues___ array if present.
This is the inverse of MapFieldNamesToCodeNames and must be called before passing
GraphQL input to entity SetMany() or field lookups.
ProtectedRunOptimized RunViewGenericInternal implementation with:
Optionalaggregates: AggregateExpression[]OptionalafterKey: CompositeKeyOptionalbypassCache: booleanOptionaldataSource: "Live" | "Materialized"ProtectedRunOptimized implementation that:
ProtectedsafeProtectedscreenApplies assertClientClauseUsesEntityBaseViews to every client-supplied clause a view request can carry that is actually a SQL fragment. GraphQL entry points (RunViewByName, RunViewByID, RunDynamicView, RunViews) funnel through RunViewGenericInternal / RunViewsGenericInternal.
🚨 UserSearchString is deliberately NOT screened here (#4392). It is not a clause — it is
the free text a person typed into a search box, and it never reaches SQL as a fragment.
GenericDatabaseProvider.createViewUserSearchSQL builds the predicate itself from
IncludeInUserSearchAPI metadata and lands the text only as a literal, doubling single
quotes and escaping LIKE metacharacters with an explicit ESCAPE. Running it through a
screen that parses its argument as SQL and fails closed rejected every term that is not
coincidentally valid SQL: Marcus Chen parses as nothing, O'Leary as an unterminated
literal — so essentially every real name search returned 0 rows.
The provider-level denylist does NOT back this up — it was removed from UserSearchString
in the same change, for the same reason (it refused Union Pacific). What protects the value
is that it is never SQL: it reaches the database only as a quoted, quote-doubled literal.
The single place that is not true is a field carrying UserSearchParamFormatAPI, whose
admin-authored format may splice the term in unquoted; createViewUserSearchSQL re-applies
ValidateUserProvidedSQLClause for exactly those entities.
Optionalprovider: IMetadataProviderSubscribe to events from a running streamScopedSearch. Filter by streamID so multiple in-flight streams don't interleave on the same client.
Start a streaming search. Returns a streamID that the caller passes to the SearchStreamEvents subscription. Permission checks are performed before the stream begins; on rejection a single 'error' event is published and the stream ends.
ProtectedStripField-level security guard for the update path.
Every denied-read field is stripped — new values AND OldValues. A field the user cannot read was absent from every payload that client ever received, so any value coming back for it is the transport's invention rather than user intent, and applying it would silently overwrite the real column. Stripping is what makes "load a record, edit an unrelated field, save" safe for a restricted user.
There is no split by update permission: Read is required for Update, so a user denied read is denied update too and denied-read ∩ denied-update is just denied-read.
Silent narrowing, not rejection — consistent with the output projection the client already experiences, and with the ambiguous-error rule (naming the field would confirm it exists and is restricted).
Returns true when the user has a non-empty denied-read set on this entity. The caller must then hydrate the entity from the DATABASE (never from client OldValues), so denied fields hold true values that an omitted key leaves untouched.
ProtectedStripRefuses a client-sent MJ: Record Changes payload column from a caller who carries field
denials, and forces the update onto the load-truth-from-DB branch.
This is the write half of the audit-trail projection, and without it that projection would
itself destroy audit history. A restricted caller is served a NARROWED ChangesJSON /
FullRecordJSON and no ChangesDescription. Those values hydrate a client-side entity as
ordinary loaded values, and GenerateSaveSQL writes EVERY IsSPParameter field rather than
only dirty ones — so a user who edits Comments on that record and saves would silently
overwrite the stored payload with the narrowed one they were shown. The row would keep looking
like a complete audit entry while the pruned fields were gone for everyone, permanently.
The rule is the one field security already applies elsewhere: a value a client could not have seen in full is not user intent, it is a transport artifact, and it is ignored. Here that is widened from "fields the caller cannot read" to "the audit payload of a caller who carries any denial", because the column is readable — it is its CONTENTS that were narrowed, and which row's target entity did the narrowing is not knowable from the input alone.
Returning true routes the caller through InnerLoad, so the stored values are restored from
the database before the save. Legitimate payload writes are unaffected: they happen
server-side (SnapshotBuilder, replay) and never through this resolver.
Optionalprovider: IMetadataProviderProtectedTestThis routine compares the OldValues property in the input object to the values in the DB that we just loaded. If there are differences, we need to check to see if the client is trying to update any of those fields (e.g. overlap). If there is overlap, we throw an error. If there is no overlap, we can proceed with the update even if the DB Values and the ClientOldValues are not 100% the same, so long as there is no overlap in the specific FIELDS that are different.
ASSUMES: input object has an OldValues___ property that is an array of Key/Value pairs that represent the old values of the record that the client is trying to update.
ProtectedUpdate
Applies an inbound RestoreContext___ blob to a server-side BaseEntity. Mirrors the OldValues___ pattern — the client-side BaseEntity's
_restoreContextdoesn't traverse the network, so the server must reconstruct it from the mutation input before calling Save().Returns true when context was applied; false when no context was on the input.
