Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
FrontierService.ListProjectsByUser returns every project a user has access to across all organizations, with no way to scope the result to one organization server-side. The request message only carries the user id:
message ListProjectsByUserRequest {
string id = 1;
}
Callers that need "projects of user X within org Y" (a common multi-tenant lookup) have to fetch all of the user's projects and filter by org_id client-side. The sibling RPC ListProjectsByCurrentUser already supports exactly this filter, so the two contracts are inconsistent:
message ListProjectsByCurrentUserRequest {
// org_id is optional and filter projects by org
string org_id = 1;
...
}
Describe the solution you'd like
Add an optional org_id filter to the request, mirroring ListProjectsByCurrentUserRequest:
message ListProjectsByUserRequest {
string id = 1;
// org_id is optional and filters projects by org
string org_id = 2;
}
Semantics:
org_idunset/empty → current behavior unchanged (projects across all orgs), so the change is fully backward compatible on the wire and in behavior.org_idset → only projects belonging to that organization are returned.
The implementation looks small: the handler (internal/api/v1beta1connect/user.go → ListProjectsByUser) already builds a core/project.Filter, which supports OrgID alongside Principal — the new field just needs to be passed through, plus the proto change in raystack/proton.
Describe alternatives we've considered
- Client-side filtering of the full
ListProjectsByUserresponse byproject.org_id— works, but transfers and transforms all projects across every org the user belongs to on each call. ListProjectsByCurrentUserwithorg_id— only works for the authenticated user; it can't be used by a service user resolving another user's projects.ListOrganizationProjects— scoped to the org but not filterable by user, so it would require intersecting two full listings client-side.
Additional context
We call this RPC from a backend service (service-user credentials) via the Go SDK (frontierv1beta1.ListProjectsByUserRequest) to resolve the projects a given user can access within one specific organization.

Research direction
Start with the ListProjectsByUser entry point in internal/api/v1beta1connect/user.go and the corresponding request definition in raystack/proton. Trace how the existing core/project.Filter receives the user Principal, then mirror the sibling ListProjectsByCurrentUser org_id handling. Done means an unset or empty org_id preserves current results and a set value limits results to that organization.
