Role & Group Definition

[Yousuf24100286]

Description

In user authentication we are using two different variables to differentiate users

• role - to define the role of the user which is either admin, student or tutor
• group - is to define which category of the provided role does the user belongs to

Concerns

Raised for @adeel838 to answer

• what values of group variable should be used for student role ? parent and student
• what values of group variable should be used for tutor role ? alumni and student
• if above is the case how to differentiate between the tutor => student and student => student group
• what values should be used for admin, since we are not using any differentiation within admin users

Raised for @hammadtariq838 to answer

• should we be hardcoding these values into schema or making these dynamic into database for catering future changes

role definition has been hardcoded into the schema in #3

Waiting for clarification on group

[adeel838]

For student role, clarification is needed from business end. If law requires to identify between under 18 students, we can automatically link underage students with parents' account.

Values of group variable for student are parent and student. Values of group variable for tutor are enrolled and alumni. Values of group variable for Admin is empty string.
