Project Overview

Project Description

The project entails the development of a robust Node.js-based application, coupled with a
PostgreSQL backend, and a Flutter frontend. The application's core functionality centers around
a sophisticated user-based access control system, with four distinctive roles: Super Admin,
Admin, Business, and Users. Additionally, attribute-based access control is implemented. The
Super Admin possesses the highest authority and the ability to distribute the product to buyers,
who, in turn, can offer it to businesses. Businesses can add users who are granted access to
specific products.

Super Admin (Owner)

1. User Management: The Super Admin can create, read, update, and delete user accounts,
including assigning roles and permissions. This allows for greater flexibility in user management
and onboarding.
2. License Management: Implement a license management system where the Super Admin can
control the number of licenses or subscriptions available for buyers and businesses. They can
revoke or extend licenses as needed.
3. Billing and Subscription: Super Admin can handle billing and subscriptions for the product.
They can set pricing plans and manage payments from buyers and businesses.
4. Activity Logs: Super Admin can access comprehensive activity logs, tracking all changes and
actions within the application, enhancing security and audit capabilities.

Admin
1. Reporting and Analytics: Admins can access detailed reports and analytics on user activities,
product usage, and business performance. They can generate customized reports to gain
insights into the system's performance.
2. Content Management: Admins can manage content within the application, such as adding,
updating, or removing product information, documentation, and marketing materials.
3. Integration Management: Admins can configure and manage integrations with third-party tools,
enabling seamless data exchange and enhancing the application's capabilities.
4. Support and Helpdesk: Admins can provide customer support, responding to user inquiries and
troubleshooting issues. This role ensures that users receive prompt assistance.

Business
 1. Product Customization: Businesses can customize the appearance and functionality of the
application to align with their brand and specific needs.
2. Inventory Management: If applicable, businesses can manage product inventory, ensuring they
have sufficient product quantities to meet customer demands.
3. Customer Relationship Management (CRM): Businesses can access CRM tools to manage
and track customer interactions, improving customer service and relationship building.
4. Order Management: Businesses can process and manage customer orders directly within the
application, streamlining the order fulfillment process.
5. Feedback and Feature Requests: Businesses can submit feedback and feature requests,
helping to shape the application's future development.

Users
1. Notifications and Alerts: Users receive notifications and alerts relevant to their role and
activities within the application, such as order updates, important announcements, or product
availability.
2. Profile Customization: Users can customize their profiles, including setting preferences,
notifications, and personalizing the user interface.
3. Collaboration Tools: Implement collaboration features for users to work together on projects or
tasks within the application, promoting teamwork and productivity.
4. Data Import/Export: Users can import and export data, making it easier to migrate data into the
application or analyze it outside the platform.
5. Product Recommendations: Provide personalized product recommendations to users based on
their activity and preferences, enhancing user engagement.

Main Features

User Authentication and Authorization

1. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Implement 2FA to enhance security. Users can enable 2FA
for their accounts to add an extra layer of protection.
2. Role Customization: Allow Super Admin and Admins to customize roles and permissions for a
more granular control over who can access what.
3. Access Control Lists (ACLs): Extend the attribute-based access control by implementing ACLs,
enabling even more detailed access restrictions.
4. Single Sign-On (SSO): Offer SSO integration for businesses that want to manage user access
through their own identity providers.

CRUD Operations
 1. Version Control: For products that require it, implement version control for CRUD operations.
Users can track changes and revert to previous versions when necessary.
2. Collaborative Editing: Enable simultaneous collaborative editing for certain types of content,
such as documents and spreadsheets, allowing multiple users to work together in real-time.
3. Audit Trails: Maintain detailed audit trails for all CRUD operations, giving administrators insights
into who made what changes and when.

Attribute-Based Access Control

1. Dynamic Attributes: Make attributes dynamic, allowing Super Admins to define new attributes
on the fly as business requirements evolve.
2. Attribute Inheritance: Implement attribute inheritance, so when a user is assigned an attribute,
they inherit permissions associated with that attribute.
3. Rule-Based Attributes: Add rule-based attributes, allowing complex logic to determine access
based on various conditions.

User and Product Management

1. User Import/Export: Enhance user management by enabling the bulk import and export of user
data, simplifying the onboarding process.
2. User Grouping: Allow Admins and Super Admins to create user groups and assign permissions
to entire groups, streamlining access management.
3. Product Bundles: Introduce product bundling, where businesses can create bundles of multiple
products and offer them as a package.
4. Trial Period Management: For subscription-based products, implement a trial period
management system, allowing users to test products before making a purchase.
5. User Feedback Integration: Include a feature for users to submit feedback and feature requests
directly from the application, facilitating user-driven product improvement.
