Disable a feature for a specific actor

[acouprie]

Hello,

I got an issue with Flipper.

We use Flipper to turn on or off features for specific customers. First we want to enable globally a feature that is ready to be used in production, and then activate or deactivate it for selected customers.

It seems that it is not possbile to deactivate a feature enabled globally, for exemple I expect the feature to be disabled only for the Organization.first while it is still for the others but it is not :

FLIPPER[:cases].enabled?
=> true

FLIPPER[:cases].enabled? Organization.first
=> true

FLIPPER[:cases].disable Organization.first
=> true

FLIPPER[:cases].enabled? Organization.first
=> true

I saw discussion about this here and here.

Will this be a feature for Flipper and if yes do you know when ? Do you suggest a workaround ?

Thank you

Ok, I managed a workaround by rewriting the code to never use global FLIPPER (FLIPPER[:cases].enabled?). I loop on all orgs and apply the logic I want accordingly.

Hi!

Eventually I would like to add deny to flipper as well but we have a few things to get shipped before that so I don't have a timeframe for you right now.

@acouprie another approach is to use a group to define everyone who is allowed access.

Flipper.register(:generally_available) do |user|
  !user.banned?
end

Flipper.enable_group(:cases, :generally_available)
