function hook_entity_access in Drupal 8

Same name and namespace in other branches
  1. 9 core/lib/Drupal/Core/Entity/entity.api.php \hook_entity_access()
  2. 10 core/lib/Drupal/Core/Entity/entity.api.php \hook_entity_access()

Control entity operation access.

Note that this hook is not called for listings (e.g., from entity queries and Views). For nodes, see Node access rights for a full explanation. For other entity types, see hook_query_TAG_alter().

Parameters

\Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityInterface $entity: The entity to check access to.

string $operation: The operation that is to be performed on $entity.

\Drupal\Core\Session\AccountInterface $account: The account trying to access the entity. Usually one of:

  • "view"
  • "update"
  • "delete"

Return value

\Drupal\Core\Access\AccessResultInterface The access result. The final result is calculated by using \Drupal\Core\Access\AccessResultInterface::orIf() on the result of every hook_entity_access() and hook_ENTITY_TYPE_access() implementation, and the result of the entity-specific checkAccess() method in the entity access control handler. Be careful when writing generalized access checks shared between routing and entity checks: routing uses the andIf() operator. So returning an isNeutral() does not determine entity access at all but it always ends up denying access while routing.
