FireCrawl Enterprise RBAC

Overview

Configure enterprise-grade access control for FireCrawl integrations.

Prerequisites

• FireCrawl Enterprise tier subscription
• Identity Provider (IdP) with SAML/OIDC support
• Understanding of role-based access patterns
• Audit logging infrastructure

Role Definitions

Role	Permissions	Use Case
Admin	Full access	Platform administrators
Developer	Read/write, no delete	Active development
Viewer	Read-only	Stakeholders, auditors
Service	API access only	Automated systems

Role Implementation

enum FireCrawlRole {
  Admin = 'admin',
  Developer = 'developer',
  Viewer = 'viewer',
  Service = 'service',
}

interface FireCrawlPermissions {
  read: boolean;
  write: boolean;
  delete: boolean;
  admin: boolean;
}

const ROLE_PERMISSIONS: Record<FireCrawlRole, FireCrawlPermissions> = {
  admin: { read: true, write: true, delete: true, admin: true },
  developer: { read: true, write: true, delete: false, admin: false },
  viewer: { read: true, write: false, delete: false, admin: false },
  service: { read: true, : , : , :  },
};

 ():  {
   [role][action];
}

SSO Integration

SAML Configuration

// FireCrawl SAML setup
const samlConfig = {
  entryPoint: 'https://idp.company.com/saml/sso',
  issuer: 'https://firecrawl.com/saml/metadata',
  cert: process.env.SAML_CERT,
  callbackUrl: 'https://app.yourcompany.com/auth/firecrawl/callback',
};

// Map IdP groups to FireCrawl roles
const groupRoleMapping: Record<string, FireCrawlRole> = {
  'Engineering': FireCrawlRole.Developer,
  'Platform-Admins': FireCrawlRole.Admin,
  'Data-Team': FireCrawlRole.Viewer,
};

OAuth2/OIDC Integration

import { OAuth2Client } from '@firecrawl/sdk';

const oauthClient = new OAuth2Client({
  clientId: process.env.FIRECRAWL_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.FIRECRAWL_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  redirectUri: 'https://app.yourcompany.com/auth/firecrawl/callback',
  scopes: ['read', 'write'],
});

Organization Management

interface FireCrawlOrganization {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  ssoEnabled: boolean;
  enforceSso: boolean;
  allowedDomains: string[];
  defaultRole: FireCrawlRole;
}

async function createOrganization(
  config: FireCrawlOrganization
): Promise<void> {
  await firecrawlClient.organizations.create({
    ...config,
    settings: {
      sso: {
        enabled: config.ssoEnabled,
        enforced: config.enforceSso,
        domains: config.allowedDomains,
      },
    },
  });
}

Access Control Middleware

function requireFireCrawlPermission(
  requiredPermission: keyof FireCrawlPermissions
) {
  return async (req: Request, res: Response, next: NextFunction) => {
    const user = req.user as { firecrawlRole: FireCrawlRole };

    if (!checkPermission(user.firecrawlRole, requiredPermission)) {
      return res.status(403).json({
        error: 'Forbidden',
        message: `Missing permission: ${requiredPermission}`,
      });
    }

    next();
  };
}

// Usage
app.delete('/firecrawl/resource/:id',
  requireFireCrawlPermission('delete'),
  deleteResourceHandler
);

Audit Trail

interface FireCrawlAuditEntry {
  timestamp: Date;
  userId: string;
  role: FireCrawlRole;
  action: string;
  resource: string;
  success: boolean;
  ipAddress: string;
}

async function logFireCrawlAccess(entry: FireCrawlAuditEntry): Promise<void> {
  await auditDb.insert(entry);

  // Alert on suspicious activity
  if (entry.action === 'delete' && !entry.success) {
    await alertOnSuspiciousActivity(entry);
  }
}

Instructions

Step 1: Define Roles

Map organizational roles to FireCrawl permissions.

Step 2: Configure SSO

Set up SAML or OIDC integration with your IdP.

Step 3: Implement Middleware

Add permission checks to API endpoints.

Step 4: Enable Audit Logging

Track all access for compliance.

Output

• Role definitions implemented
• SSO integration configured
• Permission middleware active
• Audit trail enabled

Error Handling

Issue	Cause	Solution
SSO login fails	Wrong callback URL	Verify IdP config
Permission denied	Missing role mapping	Update group mappings
Token expired	Short TTL	Refresh token logic
Audit gaps	Async logging failed	Check log pipeline

Examples

Quick Permission Check

if (!checkPermission(user.role, 'write')) {
  throw new ForbiddenError('Write permission required');
}
