This clarifies that jobs.autoRun only *runs* already-queued jobs. It does not queue the jobs for you.
Also adds an e2e test as this functionality had no e2e coverage
You can now specify exactly who can change the constraints within a
query preset.
For example, you want to ensure that only "admins" are allowed to set a
preset to "everyone".
To do this, you can use the new `queryPresets.filterConstraints`
property. When a user lacks the permission to change a constraint, the
option will either be hidden from them or disabled if it is already set.
```ts
import { buildConfig } from 'payload'
const config = buildConfig({
// ...
queryPresets: {
// ...
filterConstraints: ({ req, options }) =>
!req.user?.roles?.includes('admin')
? options.filter(
(option) =>
(typeof option === 'string' ? option : option.value) !==
'everyone',
)
: options,
},
})
```
The `filterConstraints` functions takes the same arguments as
`reduceOptions` property on select fields introduced in #12487.
In #12322 we prevented against accidental query preset lockout by
throwing a validation error when the user is going to change the preset
in a way that removes their own access to it. This, however, puts the
responsibility on the user to make the corrections and is an unnecessary
step.
For example, the API currently forbids leaving yourself out of the
`users` array when specifying the `specificUsers` constraint, but when
you encounter this error, have to update the field manually and try
again.
To improve the experience, we now automatically inject the requesting
user onto the `users` array when this constraint is selected. This will
guarantee they have access and prevent an accidental lockout while also
avoiding the API error feedback loop.
Prevents an accidental lockout of query preset documents. An "accidental
lockout" occurs when the user sets access control on a preset and
excludes themselves. This can happen in a variety of scenarios,
including:
- You select `specificUsers` without specifying yourself
- You select `specificRoles` without specifying a role that you are a
part of
- Etc.
#### How it works
To make this happen, we use a custom validation function that executes
access against the user's proposed changes. If those changes happen to
remove access for them, we throw a validation error and prevent that
change from ever taking place. This means that only a user with proper
access can remove another user from the preset. You cannot remove
yourself.
To do this, we create a temporary record in the database that we can
query against. We use transactions to ensure that the temporary record
is not persisted once our work is completed. Since not all Payload
projects have transactions enabled, we flag these temporary records with
the `isTemp` field.
Once created, we query the temp document to determine its permissions.
If any of the operations throw an error, this means the user can no
longer act on them, and we throw a validation error.
#### Alternative Approach
A previous approach that was explored was to add an `owner` field to the
presets collection. This way, the "owner" of the preset would be able to
completely bypass all access control, effectively eliminating the
possibility of a lockout event.
But this doesn't work for other users who may have update access. E.g.
they could still accidentally remove themselves from the read or update
operation, preventing them from accessing that preset after submitting
the form. We need a solution that works for all users, not just the
owner.
Returning a boolean value from a constraint-level access control
function does nothing. For example:
```ts
{
label: 'Noone',
value: 'noone',
access: () => false,
},
```
This is because we were only handling query objects, disregarding any
boolean values. The fix is to check if the query is a boolean, and if
so, format a query object to return.
Query Presets allow you to save and share filters, columns, and sort
orders for your collections. This is useful for reusing common or
complex filtering patterns and column configurations across your team.
Query Presets are defined on the fly by the users of your app, rather
than being hard coded into the Payload Config.
Here's a screen recording demonstrating the general workflow as it
relates to the list view. Query Presets are not exclusive to the admin
panel, however, as they could be useful in a number of other contexts
and environments.

Each Query Preset is saved as a new record in the database under the
`payload-query-presets` collection. This will effectively make them
CRUDable and allows for an endless number of preset configurations. As
you make changes to filters, columns, limit, etc. you can choose to save
them as a new record and optionally share them with others.
Normal document-level access control will determine who can read,
update, and delete these records. Payload provides a set of sensible
defaults here, such as "only me", "everyone", and "specific users", but
you can also extend your own set of access rules on top of this, such as
"by role", etc. Access control is customizable at the operation-level,
for example you can set this to "everyone" can read, but "only me" can
update.
To enable the Query Presets within a particular collection, set
`enableQueryPresets` on that collection's config.
Here's an example:
```ts
{
// ...
enableQueryPresets: true
}
```
Once enabled, a new set of controls will appear within the list view of
the admin panel. This is where you can select and manage query presets.
General settings for Query Presets are configured under the root
`queryPresets` property. This is where you can customize the labels,
apply custom access control rules, etc.
Here's an example of how you might augment the access control properties
with your own custom rule to achieve RBAC:
```ts
{
// ...
queryPresets: {
constraints: {
read: [
{
label: 'Specific Roles',
value: 'specificRoles',
fields: [roles],
access: ({ req: { user } }) => ({
'access.update.roles': {
in: [user?.roles],
},
}),
},
],
}
}
}
```
