Authentication and Authorization Flow:

• 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.

Important Notes:

• 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.
