On current condition, user's data can only be modified by their managers (the one whom user ID stored on users.manager_id column). So we want to create a feature which allow us to set some users to be an admin.
Here is a possible solution without changing any DB structure:
We have a env var and config to store array of user emails
We take the user emails on the config to determine the system's admin.
Config key: config('app.system_admins');
Config value data type: array (of email addresses).
For example:
We have User A, user B and User C
User A is manager of User B, but not User C
User A can edit User B data, but cannot edit user C data.
We add user A email address on the app.system_admins config
User A now can edit all user's data the system (not only User B).
This feature resolves this problem:
Any user can be assigned as system admin to edit any user's data.
