Andreas Hilbig 4ec61ffba1 chore: add MCP integration and refactor documentation into modular how-to guides
- Moved GraphQL query samples into a new `docs/queries` directory for better organization.
- Added new queries and mutations, including `createHost.graphql` and `GetApiVersion.graphql`.
- Introduced `mcp-config.yaml` and updated `docker-compose.yml` for MCP integration.
- Updated IntelliJ `.idea/workspace.xml` settings to reflect project changes.
- Added new how-to guides (`docs/howtos`) for permissions, tags, MCP integration, and schema usage.
- Enhanced tests by updating file paths and improving sample data locations.
- Refined permissions and host group structures in `zabbix-hostgroups.ts` and `resolvers.ts`.

## 🔐 Roles and Permissions Extension
The API implements a permission system using Zabbix template groups:
### Permission Template Groups
- Template groups with prefix `Permissions/` (configurable via `ZABBIX_PERMISSION_TEMPLATE_GROUP_NAME_PREFIX`) are used for permissions
- Users gain permissions by being assigned to user groups that have access to these permission template groups
### Available Permissions
The system supports three permission levels defined in `../../schema/api_commons.graphql`:
- `DENY`: Explicitly denies access (supersedes other permissions)
- `READ`: Allows viewing/reading access
- `READ_WRITE`: Allows both reading and writing (implies READ permission)
### Permission Object Names
Permission object names map to Zabbix template group paths: `Permissions/{objectName}`
### GraphQL Permission Queries
```graphql
# Check if current user has specific permissions
query HasPermissions {
hasPermissions(permissions: [
{ objectName: "hosts", permission: READ },
{ objectName: "templates", permission: READ_WRITE }
])
}
# Get all user permissions
query GetUserPermissions {
userPermissions(objectNames: ["hosts", "templates"])
}
```
### Setting Up Permissions
1. Create template groups with the prefix `Permissions/` (e.g., `Permissions/hosts`, `Permissions/templates`)
2. Assign these template groups to user groups in Zabbix with appropriate permission levels
3. Users in those user groups will inherit the permissions
### Detailed Permission Usage Examples
For comprehensive examples of permission usage patterns, see `../../schema/api_commons.graphql` which contains detailed documentation in the `PermissionRequest` input type comments, including real-world examples of how to model permissions for buttons, status controls, and application features.
See also `../queries/sample_import_permissions_template_groups_mutation.graphql` for examples of importing permission template groups.
