# Issue #124: Implement Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) for API Endpoints
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
Implement role-based access control (RBAC) for the API endpoints to ensure that users can only perform actions allowed by their role (`user`, `moderator`, `admin`). This includes:
|
|
|
|
- Middleware to check user roles on protected routes
|
|
- Integration with JWT claims
|
|
- Audit logging for sensitive actions
|
|
- Documentation of the RBAC model
|
|
|
|
## Acceptance Criteria
|
|
|
|
- [ ] JWT middleware extracts role from token
|
|
- [ ] `requireRole` middleware implemented and tested
|
|
- [ ] All existing API endpoints have appropriate role checks
|
|
- [ ] Sensitive actions are logged with audit events
|
|
- [ ] Documentation updated to reflect RBAC implementation
|
|
- [ ] Tests added for role-based access
|
|
|
|
## Tasks
|
|
|
|
1. Implement `requireRole` middleware in `backend/middleware/role.middleware.js`
|
|
2. Add role checks to existing API routes
|
|
3. Integrate role checking into JWT authentication flow
|
|
4. Implement audit logging for sensitive actions
|
|
5. Update documentation (`docs/roles-and-permissions.md`)
|
|
6. Write tests for RBAC functionality
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
This is a follow-up to the existing roles and permissions documentation in `docs/roles-and-permissions.md`. The implementation should align with the defined roles and permissions matrix. |
