Implement comprehensive RBAC documentation and tests

Description

The project needs comprehensive documentation and tests for the role-based access control (RBAC) system that has been implemented. This includes:

1. Detailed documentation of the roles and permissions in docs/roles-and-permissions.md
2. Tests for the middleware in backend/middleware/role.middleware.js
3. Integration tests for routes that use the middleware

Acceptance Criteria

• Documentation of all roles and their permissions is complete
• Middleware tests cover all scenarios (authorized, unauthorized, missing role)
• Integration tests verify route protection with different user roles
• All tests pass successfully
• Documentation is consistent with implementation

Tasks

• Update docs/roles-and-permissions.md with complete role matrix and examples
• Add integration tests for protected routes
• Run all tests to verify functionality
