Redirects for 404s with Role Based Access Control

[jonsully]

Hey @tybritten

Welcome to The Community

RE: issue #1, it sounds like you’re essentially doing RBAC with an external provider — granted, that external provider is your own Functions, but point being that you’re not using Netlify Identity. Given that constraint, can you walk me through what your JWT actually looks like? Just want to make sure it adheres to the particular format that the Netlify _redirects engine is looking for in order to work correctly. Additionally, did you set the secret/signing key that you’re using as the “JWT Secret” in the Site’s settings?

Role-based access control with JWT

RE: issue #2, there’s a long-standing thread running based around redirects and rewrites to a function. I’d recommend giving it a thorough read, as it should inform you on how to refactor that particular redirect.

Redirect to Function - Splat is not working as expected

General update here: Until recently the suggestion from Redirect to Function - Splat is not working as expected - #2 by jonsully worked fine for me and the variable was filled as described. Recently that started to not be the case any more on some function runs, instead the string is just empty. No idea what changed on Netlify side Fortunately I could get rid of the param in my limited use case that was still live. Still confusing.

Hope that helps!
