@ -380,13 +380,21 @@ We found some solution approaches:
1. Getting rid of the `rbacrole` and `rbacpermission` table and only having implicit roles with implicit grants (OWNER->ADMIN->AGENT->TENENT->REFERRER) by comparison of ordered enum values and fixed permission assignments (e.g. OWENER->DELETE, ADMIN->UPDATE etc.). We could also get rid of the table `rbacreferece` if we enter users as business objects.
This should reduce
This should dramatically reduce the size of the table `rbackgrant` as well as the recusion levels.
But since we only apply this query once for each business query, that would only improve performance once we have way more objects in our system, but does not help our current problem.
It's quite some effort to implement even just a prototype, so we did not further explore this idea.
2. Adding the object type to the table `rbacObject` to reduce the size of the result of the recursive CTE query.
See chapter below.
### Adding The Object Type To The Table `rbacObject`
This optimization idea came from Michael Hierweck.
Its idea is to reduce the size of the result of the recursive CTE query and maybe even speed up that query itself.
This optimization idea came from Michael Hierweck and was promising.
The idea is to reduce the size of the result of the recursive CTE query and maybe even speed up that query itself.
To evaluate this, I added a type column to the `rbacObject` table, initially as an enum hsHostingAssetType. Then I entered the type there for all rows from hs_hosting_asset. This means that 83,886 of 92,545 rows in `rbacobject` have a type set, leaving 8,659 without.

As you can see, the query is no problem at all for normal customers (in the example, yours truly). With Hostsharing (D-1000000-hsh) it is quite slow.
My optimization, which is not easy to try out, would only improve the part of the recursive CTE query. This is not necessary at the moment, but perhaps if we grow significantly.
Luckily this experiment also shows that it's not a big problem, having all hosting assets in the same database table.
Implementing this approach would be a bit difficult anyway, because we would need to transfer the type query parameter into the definition of the restricted view. We have not even the slightest idea how this could be done.
See the related queries in [recursive-cte-experiments-for-accessible-uuids.sql](../sql/recursive-cte-experiments-for-accessible-uuids.sql). They might have changed independently since this document was written, but you can still check out the old version from git.
