Test Coverage

Protected Endpoints

All three Role Management endpoints now have cross-tenant security validation:

1. GET /api/tenants/{tenantId}/users - ListUsers

   • ✅ Returns 403 Forbidden for cross-tenant access
   • ✅ Returns 200 OK for same-tenant access
   • ✅ Error message: "Access denied: You can only manage users in your own tenant"

2. POST /api/tenants/{tenantId}/users/{userId}/role - AssignRole

   • ✅ Returns 403 Forbidden for cross-tenant access
   • ✅ Returns 200 OK for same-tenant access
   • ✅ Error message: "Access denied: You can only manage users in your own tenant"

3. DELETE /api/tenants/{tenantId}/users/{userId} - RemoveUser

   • ✅ Returns 403 Forbidden for cross-tenant access
   • ✅ Returns 200 OK for same-tenant access
   • ✅ Error message: "Access denied: You can only manage users in your own tenant"

Test Scenarios

Scenario 1: Cross-Tenant ListUsers (BLOCKED ✅)

Tenant A Admin (tenant_id = "aaaa-1111")
→ GET /api/tenants/bbbb-2222/users
→ Result: 403 Forbidden
→ Error: "Access denied: You can only manage users in your own tenant"

Scenario 2: Cross-Tenant AssignRole (BLOCKED ✅)

Tenant A Admin (tenant_id = "aaaa-1111")
→ POST /api/tenants/bbbb-2222/users/{userId}/role
→ Result: 403 Forbidden
→ Error: "Access denied: You can only manage users in your own tenant"

Scenario 3: Cross-Tenant RemoveUser (BLOCKED ✅)

Tenant A Admin (tenant_id = "aaaa-1111")
→ DELETE /api/tenants/bbbb-2222/users/{userId}
→ Result: 403 Forbidden
→ Error: "Access denied: You can only manage users in your own tenant"

Scenario 4: Same-Tenant Access (ALLOWED ✅)

Tenant A Admin (tenant_id = "aaaa-1111")
→ GET /api/tenants/aaaa-1111/users
→ Result: 200 OK
→ Returns: Paged list of users in Tenant A

Scenario 5: Consistent Protection Across All Endpoints (VERIFIED ✅)

Tenant A Admin tries to access Tenant B resources:
→ ListUsers: 403 Forbidden ✅
→ AssignRole: 403 Forbidden ✅
→ RemoveUser: 403 Forbidden ✅
→ Same-tenant access still works: 200 OK ✅

Test Implementation Details

Test Structure

#region Category 5: Cross-Tenant Protection Tests (5 tests)

1. ListUsers_WithCrossTenantAccess_ShouldReturn403Forbidden
   - Creates two separate tenants
   - Tenant A admin tries to list Tenant B users
   - Asserts: 403 Forbidden + error message

2. AssignRole_WithCrossTenantAccess_ShouldReturn403Forbidden
   - Creates two separate tenants
   - Tenant A admin tries to assign role in Tenant B
   - Asserts: 403 Forbidden + error message

3. RemoveUser_WithCrossTenantAccess_ShouldReturn403Forbidden
   - Creates two separate tenants
   - Tenant A admin tries to remove user from Tenant B
   - Asserts: 403 Forbidden + error message

4. ListUsers_WithSameTenantAccess_ShouldReturn200OK
   - Registers a single tenant
   - Tenant admin accesses their own tenant's users
   - Asserts: 200 OK + paged result with users

5. CrossTenantProtection_WithMultipleEndpoints_ShouldBeConsistent
   - Creates two separate tenants
   - Tests all three endpoints consistently block cross-tenant access
   - Verifies same-tenant access still works
   - Asserts: All return 403 for cross-tenant, 200 for same-tenant

Helper Methods Used

• RegisterTenantAndGetTokenAsync() - Creates tenant, returns access token and tenant ID
• RegisterTenantAndGetDetailedTokenAsync() - Returns token, tenant ID, and user ID
• _client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization - Sets Bearer token for authentication

Test Isolation

• Each test registers fresh tenants to avoid interference
• Tests use in-memory database (cleaned up between tests)
• Unique tenant slugs ensure no conflicts

Security Fix Verification

Validation Logic

The tests verify the following security logic in TenantUsersController.cs:

// SECURITY: Validate user belongs to target tenant
var userTenantIdClaim = User.FindFirst("tenant_id")?.Value;
if (userTenantIdClaim == null)
    return Unauthorized(new { error = "Tenant information not found in token" });

var userTenantId = Guid.Parse(userTenantIdClaim);
if (userTenantId != tenantId)
    return StatusCode(403, new { error = "Access denied: You can only manage users in your own tenant" });

Verification Results

✅ JWT Claim Extraction: Tests confirm tenant_id claim is correctly extracted ✅ Tenant Matching: Tests verify route tenantId is matched against JWT claim ✅ 403 Forbidden Response: Tests confirm correct HTTP status code ✅ Error Messages: Tests verify descriptive error messages are returned ✅ Same-Tenant Access: Regression tests confirm authorized access still works ✅ Consistent Behavior: All three endpoints have identical protection logic

Improvements Over Previous Implementation

The previous ListUsers_CrossTenant_ShouldFail test was skipped with this comment:

[Fact(Skip = "Cross-tenant protection not yet implemented - security gap identified")]

The new tests:

1. ✅ Remove Skip attribute - Security fix is now implemented
2. ✅ Add 4 additional tests - Comprehensive coverage of all endpoints
3. ✅ Verify error messages - Assert on specific error text
4. ✅ Add regression test - Ensure same-tenant access still works
5. ✅ Add consistency test - Verify all endpoints behave identically

Quality Metrics

Test Quality Indicators

✅ Clear Test Names: Follow {Method}_{Scenario}_{ExpectedResult} convention ✅ Comprehensive Assertions: Verify status code AND error message content ✅ Test Isolation: Each test creates fresh tenants ✅ Regression Coverage: Same-tenant access regression test included ✅ Consistency Verification: Multi-endpoint consistency test added ✅ Production-Ready: Tests verify real HTTP responses, not mocked behavior

Security Coverage

✅ Tenant Isolation: All endpoints block cross-tenant access ✅ Authorization: Tests verify 403 Forbidden (not 401 Unauthorized) ✅ Error Messages: Descriptive messages explain tenant isolation ✅ Positive Cases: Regression tests ensure authorized access works ✅ Negative Cases: All three endpoints tested for cross-tenant blocking

Recommendations

Immediate Actions

✅ COMPLETED: Cross-tenant security tests implemented and passing ✅ COMPLETED: Security fix verified effective ✅ COMPLETED: Regression tests confirm authorized access works

Future Enhancements

1. Missing Tenant Claim Test: Add edge case test for malformed JWT without tenant_id claim
2. Performance Testing: Measure impact of cross-tenant validation on API response time
3. Audit Logging: Consider logging all 403 Forbidden responses for security monitoring
4. Rate Limiting: Add rate limiting on 403 responses to prevent tenant enumeration
