Refactor/implement the required user management capabilities for administrators #88
Conversation
- Add 'user.create' permission for creating new users (admin-only) - Add 'user.update' permission for updating any user's profile (admin-only) - Add 'user.delete' permission for deleting any user's account (admin-only)
- Add user management permissions (create, update, delete) to dashboard admins - Update comment for userRead permission to clarify its purpose
- Add create user permission for admins - Implement update and delete permissions for both admins and regular users - Add detailed comments explaining the permission logic
Adds and refactors data operations for the user model. - Create: A new entry in _itemCreators is added for 'user', enabling user creation through the generic data endpoint. - Update: The updater for 'user' is refactored to be more secure and flexible. It now accepts a raw Map<String, dynamic> from the request body and selectively applies changes for appRole, dashboardRole, and feedDecoratorStatus. This approach prevents mass assignment vulnerabilities while allowing both admins and users to perform their permitted updates.
Updates the _handlePost function in the generic data endpoint to include a specific validation check for modelName == 'user'. This ensures that any request to create a user includes a non-empty email field, preventing the creation of invalid user records.
Modifies the _handlePut function to introduce special handling for the 'user' model. When updating a user, the raw request body map is now passed directly to the _updateItem function, bypassing the standard fromJson deserialization. This change enables the custom user updater in the DataOperationRegistry to perform a secure, selective merge of updatable fields (like roles), preventing mass assignment vulnerabilities. For all other models, the behavior remains unchanged.
Summary of ChangesHello @fulleni, I'm Gemini Code Assist1 ! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed! This pull request significantly enhances the administrative user management capabilities within the system. It introduces dedicated permissions for creating, updating, and deleting user accounts, assigning these to dashboard administrators. Concurrently, it refactors the user update mechanism to securely handle both administrative role changes and user-initiated profile updates, preventing mass assignment vulnerabilities. The changes also activate a data API endpoint for admin-driven user creation and enforce essential validation for new user entries. Highlights

Code Review
This pull request effectively refactors and implements administrator capabilities for user management. The changes are well-structured, introducing new permissions and updating the data registries and route handlers accordingly. The use of a raw map for user updates is a good security measure to prevent mass assignment vulnerabilities.
My review includes two main suggestions for improvement in lib/src/registry/data_operation_registry.dart: one to add robust error handling for parsing user roles to prevent server errors from invalid input, and another to refactor the parsing of feedDecoratorStatus for better efficiency and code clarity. Overall, this is a solid contribution.
Adds try-catch blocks around the byName() enum parsing for appRole and dashboardRole in the user updater logic. This prevents unhandled ArgumentError exceptions when a client provides an invalid role string. Instead of causing a 500 Internal Server Error, the API will now correctly return a 400 Bad Request with a clear error message, improving client-side error handling and API robustness.
