CAP Project Deployment Error : "restrict_all_services": false in package.json file

[sPatil]

Hi Team,

We are facing error while deployment of MTA CAP project. But when we write the below code in package.json file inside cds > requires , then deployment is success without any error.                

      "[production]": {
				"auth": {
					"kind": "xsuaa",
					"restrict_all_services": false
				}
			}

  We wanted to know the significance of above code and what is the possible impact of this code. 

Note: If we remove above code from package.json file (cds > requires) then we are getting error during deployment.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @sPatil, the following code tells 4 things to the CAP application:

•   "[production]":  the following settings only apply when deploying to "production", which truly means when running on BTP rather on your localhost
• "auth": settings regarding authorization
• "kind": "xsuaa": the type of authorization. It will use the xsuaa service from BTP
• "restrict_all_services": false : means that authorization will not be applied to your services. Users don't need to be logged on neither need roles. This setting is useful for debugging, especially when something works locally but not when running on BTP.
