Description

When an admin removes a user from a workspace or project, that user can keep using the UI until they refresh or hit a 403. This adds realtime kick-out over the existing Live WebSocket path:

  • API publishes workspace.member.removed / project.member.removed to Redis (plane:membership:{userId}) on admin remove (and project deactivate)
  • Live fans events out on /membership
  • Web clears local permissions, shows a warning toast, and redirects (workspace → another workspace/home; project → /{slug}/projects)

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • Feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Improvement (change that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
  • Code refactoring
  • Performance improvements
  • Documentation update

Screenshots and Media (if applicable)

N/A

Test Scenarios

  • Open the app as User A in a workspace/project
  • As admin, remove User A from the project → User A gets a toast and is redirected to /{slug}/projects without refresh
  • As admin, remove User A from the workspace → User A is redirected away from that workspace
  • Confirm the admin (actor) does not get kicked by their own remove action
  • Live vitest: apps/live/tests/membership-realtime.test.ts
  • API unit: plane/tests/unit/utils/test_membership_realtime.py

References

Fixes #9664

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added real-time notifications when workspace or project membership is removed.
    • Access is cleared automatically, with relevant data refreshed and users redirected from inaccessible workspaces or projects.
    • Added warning messages to explain membership changes.
    • Real-time connections now reconnect automatically after unexpected interruptions.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented removed members from retaining stale workspace, project, or permission data.
    • Improved handling of missing or invalid real-time event information.

Publish remove events over Redis to Live /membership so the removed
user clears local access and redirects without a refresh.

Fixes makeplane#9664

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to eeba7

This change adds a cross-service realtime membership channel, but the current implementation can expose membership events across users, mishandle socket replacement, and silently fail to notify removed users when event delivery fails. These are high-impact security and correctness risks, so the PR is not safe to merge until addressed.

Persist removal events when Redis publishing fails.

This handler logs the Redis error and returns False. The removal callers ignore that result. The notification is then lost, so the removed user can retain cached workspace or project access until a later refresh.

Write the event to a transactional outbox before returning from the removal request. Retry publishing after commit until delivery succeeds.

Validate the Origin header on the WebSocket handshake.

This controller authenticates with the session cookie in req.headers.cookie. Browsers attach cookies to cross-origin WebSocket handshakes, and the cors() middleware in apps/live/src/server.ts does not apply to upgrades. A third-party page can therefore open this socket as the signed-in user and read membership events. Check req.headers.origin against the existing env.CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS allowlist before authentication.

       const url = new URL(req.url || "", "http://localhost");

Close authentication failures with 4401, not 1011.

handleAuthentication throws for invalid sessions and for user-ID mismatch. This catch maps those cases to 1011 "Internal server error". The browser client treats any unexpected close as retryable and reconnects up to 8 times, so each rejected user triggers 8 extra currentUser lookups. Report authentication failures with the same 4401 code used on line 30 and reserve 1011 for unexpected errors.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

The duplicated Redis subscriber is never closed. MembershipRealtimeHub.initialize opens a dedicated connection with client.duplicate(), but the hub exposes no teardown and the server shutdown path closes only the shared redisManager client. The connection therefore stays open and keeps reconnecting after shutdown starts.

Route by channel, not by the payload user_id.

handleMessage ignores the channel argument and selects recipients from event.user_id. The subscriber connection is shared across all connected users, so a message published on one user channel can address a different user. Derive the recipient from the channel, which already encodes the target user, and keep the payload check as a second gate.

Use the exported membership channel prefix.

Add @plane/constants as a "workspace:*" dependency of apps/live, import MEMBERSHIP_REALTIME_CHANNEL_PREFIX, and remove the local declaration. The API publisher defines the same value separately in Python and must remain aligned.

Do not restart the socket on every route change.

workspaceSlug and projectId come from useParams() and change on each navigation inside the workspace. Both are effect dependencies, so the effect tears down and reopens the WebSocket on every project or workspace navigation. Each restart costs a handshake plus a currentUser authentication call in the Live service.

The two values are read only inside handleEvent. Hold them in a ref and remove them from the dependency array so the connection lives for the whole session.

Guard the close listener on socket identity.

The close listener is not scoped to the socket it belongs to. connect calls disconnect(), which closes the current socket, then immediately sets closedByClient = false and opens a new socket. The close event of the old socket fires after that, so it clears this.socket while the new socket is live and schedules another open(params).

Two effects follow. The service loses its reference to the active socket, so a later disconnect() cannot close it. A duplicate socket also delivers each membership event twice. React Strict Mode remounts effects, so the hook reaches this path on a normal mount.

Compare the closing socket to the current one before acting.

🐛 Proposed fix for the stale close handler
     socket.addEventListener("close", () => {
+      if (this.socket !== socket) return;
       this.socket = null;
       if (this.closedByClient || this.attempt >= 8) return;
