Design overview

Explanation of major components

• Database has 2 tables: User and Ticket. Those tables represented as models in my Asp.net core web api

Authentication

• In order to register user, AuthController makes a POST request with name and password and returns a token
• Token is signed by secret key. Every time request hits UserController endpoint, Entity Framework verifies that this token is valid
• During login, program fetch from db user's passwordHash and passwordSalt, computes them and verifies with provided password

Security

• It a role base application, so when user login, application gets his role for allowing or restricting certain functionality. Restriction happens in the web api and on the client as well.
• Web api can send BadRequest or Unauthorized
• Examples of restrictions on frontend: HelpDeskUser can't delete ticket and can't see tickets from all users. TeamMember can't add tickets

Improvements to do:

• add tests
