Role-based Access Control¶
Feature Overview¶
Implements role-based access control through Auth0 and the local database to manage user permissions, ensuring users only have access to functionality appropriate for their responsibilities within the organization.
User Stories¶
US-UM-42: Define User Roles with Auth0 Integration¶
As a platform administrator, I want to define different user roles with specific permissions that synchronize with Auth0, So that I can control access to platform features based on user responsibilities across both systems.
Acceptance Criteria: - Given I am logged in as a platform administrator - When I navigate to the role management section - Then I should see the predefined roles (Admin and Standard User for MVP) - And I should see the permissions associated with each role - And for the MVP, the roles should include: - Admin: Full access to all platform features and administrative functions - Standard User: Access to issue credentials, request disclosures, and run verifications - When I create or modify a role - Then: - The role should be defined in the local database - The corresponding role should be created or updated in Auth0 - The permissions should be synchronized between both systems - When I view a role's details - Then I should see a complete list of permissions granted to that role - And the system should enforce these permissions throughout the platform - And I should see the synchronization status with Auth0
US-UM-43: Assign Roles to Users with Auth0 Synchronization¶
As a staffing company administrator, I want to assign appropriate roles to users with Auth0 synchronization, So that they have the correct permissions for their job responsibilities across both systems.
Acceptance Criteria: - Given I am logged in as a staffing company administrator - When I create a new user or edit an existing user - Then I should be able to assign a role to the user - When I select a role - Then: - The system should apply the corresponding permissions to the user in the local database - The role should be assigned to the user in Auth0 - The permissions should be synchronized between both systems - And the role assignment should be logged for audit purposes in both systems - And the user should immediately have access to the features permitted by their role - And the user should receive a notification about their role assignment or change - And any Auth0 Rules dependent on roles should be applied automatically
US-UM-44: View Users by Role with Auth0 Status¶
As a staffing company administrator, I want to view users grouped by their assigned roles with Auth0 synchronization status, So that I can easily manage access permissions across the organization and ensure consistency.
Acceptance Criteria: - Given I am logged in as a staffing company administrator - When I navigate to the user management section - Then I should be able to filter or group users by their assigned roles - And I should see a count of users in each role - And I should see indicators for any role assignment synchronization issues with Auth0 - When I select a specific role - Then I should see a list of all users assigned to that role - And for each user, I should see: - Their basic information - Their role synchronization status with Auth0 - Any permission discrepancies between systems - And I should be able to perform bulk actions on users within a role - And I should be able to search for specific users within a role - And I should be able to filter by Auth0 synchronization status
US-UM-45: Restrict Access Based on Auth0 Roles¶
As a platform administrator, I want to ensure that users can only access features appropriate for their Auth0 role, So that sensitive operations are protected from unauthorized access across both systems.
Acceptance Criteria: - Given a user is assigned a specific role in Auth0 and the local database - When they navigate through the platform - Then: - They should only see and access features permitted by their role - The local application should enforce permissions based on the role - Auth0 should enforce permissions through token-based authorization - And attempts to access unauthorized features should be blocked at both the frontend and API levels - And unauthorized access attempts should be logged for security audit purposes in both systems - And users should receive clear messages when they attempt to access restricted features - And the UI should only display options that are available to the user's role - And the system should handle any role synchronization issues gracefully
US-UM-46: Transfer Role Responsibilities with Auth0 Synchronization¶
As a staffing company administrator, I want to transfer role responsibilities when staff changes occur with Auth0 synchronization, So that business continuity is maintained during transitions across both systems.
Acceptance Criteria: - Given I am logged in as a staffing company administrator - When I need to transfer responsibilities from one user to another - Then I should be able to: - Assign the same role to the new user in both local database and Auth0 - Transfer ownership of specific items or processes - Optionally revoke the role from the previous user in both systems - When I complete the transfer - Then: - Both users should receive notifications about the changes - The role changes should be synchronized with Auth0 - Any Auth0 Rules dependent on roles should be applied automatically - And the transfer should be logged for audit purposes in both systems - And the new user should immediately have access to the transferred responsibilities - And the system should handle any role synchronization issues gracefully
US-UM-47: Audit Role Assignments and Changes Across Systems¶
As a staffing company administrator, I want to audit role assignments and changes across both local database and Auth0, So that I can ensure proper access control and compliance with security policies.
Acceptance Criteria: - Given I am logged in as a staffing company administrator - When I navigate to the security audit section - Then I should see a log of all role-related activities including: - Role assignments - Role changes - Permission changes - Access attempts to restricted features - Auth0 role synchronization events - And each log entry should include: - Date and time - User affected - Administrator who made the change - Previous role/permissions - New role/permissions - System where the change occurred (local database, Auth0, or both) - Synchronization status - And I should be able to filter logs by date range, user, action type, and system - And I should be able to export reports for compliance purposes - And I should be able to identify and resolve any role synchronization issues
US-UM-48: Manage Auth0 Role Mappings¶
As a platform administrator, I want to manage the mappings between local roles and Auth0 roles, So that I can ensure consistent permissions across both systems.
Acceptance Criteria: - Given I am logged in as a platform administrator - When I navigate to the role management section - Then I should see an option to manage Auth0 role mappings - When I select this option - Then I should see a mapping interface showing: - Local roles - Corresponding Auth0 roles - Synchronization status - And I should be able to: - Create new mappings - Modify existing mappings - View permission differences between mapped roles - Test role mappings - When I update a mapping - Then: - The changes should be applied to the role mapping configuration - Users with affected roles should have their permissions synchronized - The system should validate the mapping for consistency - And the changes should be logged for audit purposes - And I should receive a summary of affected users
Dependencies¶

- Permission framework to control access to platform features
- Audit logging system for tracking role assignments and changes
- Auth0 tenant setup and configuration
- Auth0 Management API integration for role management
