## Context Building the tool catalog asks every provider whether it is available for the current role configuration. Several providers perform multiple permission checks, so one catalog build can evaluate the same roles repeatedly. Previously, each `checkRolesPermissions` or `hasToolPermission` call loaded the configured roles and their permission flags from PostgreSQL. These queries returned data that already exists in the workspace cache: - `flatRoleMaps` contains role settings and the IDs of assigned permission flags - `flatRolePermissionFlagMaps` links those assignments to permission flag universal identifiers This created redundant database round trips on the latency-sensitive tool discovery path. ## What changed Permission checks now evaluate roles from the existing workspace cache instead of loading `RoleEntity` records and relations from PostgreSQL. The new flow: 1. Load `flatRoleMaps` and `flatRolePermissionFlagMaps` through `WorkspaceCacheService` 2. Resolve every role ID from `flatRoleMaps` 3. Check `canAccessAllTools` or `canUpdateAllSettings` 4. If needed, check explicit permission flags with `flatRoleHasPermissionFlag` 5. Apply the existing union or intersection rule This also benefits callers outside the tool registry, without adding provider parameters or request-scoped context plumbing. The direct agent-only role deletion path now invalidates and recomputes the two consumed cache maps after deleting a role. This prevents that path from leaving stale permission data behind. ## Why this is safe The authorization behavior remains unchanged: - `shouldBypassPermissionChecks` still grants access without loading permission data - A union grants access when at least one role grants it - An intersection grants access only when every role grants it - Base role permissions and explicitly assigned permission flags are both supported - Empty, duplicate, or missing role IDs fail closed - Cache failures fail closed This PR does not introduce a separate permission cache. It reuses the existing workspace metadata cache and its invalidation model. ## Expected impact On a warm workspace cache, these permission checks no longer query the role tables. Repeated checks during catalog and schema construction become in-memory cache lookups, reducing database pressure and avoiding repeated network round trips. A cold cache can still require its normal database recomputation. Subsequent permission checks reuse the populated workspace cache. ## Test coverage The permission service tests cover: - Union and intersection behavior - Base role grants - Explicit permission flag grants - Unrelated permission flags - Permission bypass - Empty, duplicate, and missing roles - Cache failures - No role repository query during cached evaluation The agent-role tests also verify that deleting an unused agent-only role refreshes the relevant cache maps, while a role that remains assigned does not trigger deletion or invalidation.

Why Twenty
Twenty gives technical teams the building blocks for a custom CRM that meets complex business needs and quickly adapts as the business evolves. Twenty is the CRM you build, ship, and version like the rest of your stack.

Installation
Cloud
The fastest way to get started. Sign up at twenty.com and spin up a workspace in under a minute, with no infrastructure to manage and always up to date.
Build an app
Scaffold a new app with the Twenty CLI:
npx create-twenty-app my-app
Define objects, fields, and views as code:
import { defineObject, FieldType } from 'twenty-sdk/define';
export default defineObject({
nameSingular: 'deal',
namePlural: 'deals',
labelSingular: 'Deal',
labelPlural: 'Deals',
fields: [
{ name: 'name', label: 'Name', type: FieldType.TEXT },
{ name: 'amount', label: 'Amount', type: FieldType.CURRENCY },
{ name: 'closeDate', label: 'Close Date', type: FieldType.DATE_TIME },
],
});
Then ship it to your workspace:
npx twenty app:publish --private
See the app development guide for objects, views, agents, and logic functions.
Self-hosting
Run Twenty on your own infrastructure with Docker Compose, or contribute locally via the local setup guide.
Everything you need
Twenty gives you the building blocks of a modern CRM (objects, views, workflows, and agents) and lets you extend them as code. Here's a tour of what's in the box.
