You are tasked with enhancing the security of a blogging platform by implementing a basic permission and role system. This system should control access to different API endpoints based on user roles and permissions.
- Full access to all API endpoints.
- Can create new posts.
- Can edit their own posts.
- Can view all posts.
- Allows the user to create new posts.
- Allows the user to edit their own posts.
- Allows the admin to delete any post.
-
GET /posts:
- Accessible to both Admin and User.
- Returns all posts.
-
POST /posts:
- Accessible to User.
- Creates a new post.
-
GET /posts/GetAllPostsWithOwnersInfo:
- Accessible to both Admin only.
- Returns all posts with owners' information.
-
DELETE /posts/:id:
- Accessible to Admin only.
- Deletes a post by ID.
-
PUT /posts/:id:
- Accessible to User.
- Updates a post by ID.
- The system uses JWT (JSON Web Token) for authentication.
- Input Validation:Joi can be used to validate incoming data, such as user input from forms or requests.
- Users must be authenticated to access any API endpoint.
- Roles are assigned to users during registration or based on the application's business logic.
- Authorization middleware checks the user's role and permissions before allowing access to specific endpoints.
- The system responds with appropriate error messages for unauthorized access or invalid operations.
- Ensure proper authentication is implemented to secure the endpoints.
- Authorization middleware must be configured correctly to check roles and permissions.
- Regularly review and update roles and permissions based on application requirements.
This documentation provides a high-level overview of the roles, permissions, and accessible API endpoints in your blogging platform. Adjustments may be necessary based on your specific use case and security requirements.
