Database Schema

New Table: identity.user_tenant_roles

CREATE TABLE identity.user_tenant_roles (
    id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
    user_id UUID NOT NULL,
    tenant_id UUID NOT NULL,
    role VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,  -- TenantOwner, TenantAdmin, TenantMember, TenantGuest, AIAgent

Role Definitions

Role	ID	Description	Permissions
TenantOwner	1	Tenant owner	Full control: billing, settings, users, projects
TenantAdmin	2	Tenant administrator	Manage users, projects (no billing)
TenantMember	3	Tenant member (default)	Create/manage own projects, view all
TenantGuest	4	Guest user	Read-only access to assigned resources
AIAgent	5	AI Agent (MCP)	Read all + Write with preview (human approval)

JWT Token Structure (Updated)

{
  "sub": "user-guid",
  "email": "user@example.com",
  "jti": "unique-token-id",
  "user_id": "user-guid",
  "tenant_id": "tenant-guid",
  "tenant_slug": "tenant-slug",
  "tenant_plan": "Professional",
  "full_name": "User Full Name",
  "auth_provider": "Local",

  // NEW: Role claims
  "tenant_role": "TenantOwner",
  "role": "TenantOwner",

  "iss": "ColaFlow.API",
  "aud": "ColaFlow.Web",
  "exp": 1762125000
}

Role claims explanation:

• tenant_role: Custom claim for application logic (used in policies)
• role: Standard ASP.NET Core claim (used with [Authorize(Roles = "...")])

---

Authorization Policies

Policy Configuration (Program.cs)

builder.Services.AddAuthorization(options =>
{
    // Tenant Owner only
    options.AddPolicy("RequireTenantOwner", policy =>
        policy.RequireRole("TenantOwner"));

    // Tenant Owner or Tenant Admin
    options.AddPolicy("RequireTenantAdmin", policy =>
        policy.RequireRole("TenantOwner", "TenantAdmin"));

    // Tenant Owner, Tenant Admin, or Tenant Member (excludes Guest and AIAgent)
    options.AddPolicy("RequireTenantMember", policy =>
        policy.RequireRole("TenantOwner", "TenantAdmin", "TenantMember"));

    // Human users only (excludes AIAgent)
    options.AddPolicy("RequireHumanUser", policy =>
        policy.RequireAssertion(context =>
            !context.User.IsInRole("AIAgent")));

    // AI Agent only (for MCP integration testing)
    options.AddPolicy("RequireAIAgent", policy =>
        policy.RequireRole("AIAgent"));
});

Usage Examples

// Controller-level protection
[ApiController]
[Route("api/tenants")]
[Authorize(Policy = "RequireTenantAdmin")]
public class TenantManagementController : ControllerBase { }

// Action-level protection
[HttpDelete("{userId}")]
[Authorize(Policy = "RequireTenantOwner")]
public async Task<IActionResult> DeleteUser(Guid userId) { }

// Multiple roles
[HttpPost("projects")]
[Authorize(Roles = "TenantOwner,TenantAdmin,TenantMember")]
public async Task<IActionResult> CreateProject(...) { }

// Check role in code
if (User.IsInRole("TenantOwner"))
{
    // Owner-specific logic
}

Manual Testing Scenarios

Scenario 1: Register and Verify Role

# Register tenant
$body = @{
    tenantName = "Test Corp"
    tenantSlug = "test-corp-$(Get-Random)"
    subscriptionPlan = "Professional"
    adminEmail = "admin@test.com"
    adminPassword = "Admin@1234"
    adminFullName = "Test Admin"
} | ConvertTo-Json

$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "http://localhost:5167/api/tenants/register" `
    -Method Post -ContentType "application/json" -Body $body

# Verify token contains role
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $($response.accessToken)" }
$me = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "http://localhost:5167/api/auth/me" -Headers $headers
$me.tenantRole  # Should output: TenantOwner
$me.role        # Should output: TenantOwner

Scenario 2: Login and Verify Role Persistence

$loginBody = @{
    tenantSlug = "test-corp-1234"
    email = "admin@test.com"
    password = "Admin@1234"
} | ConvertTo-Json

$loginResponse = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "http://localhost:5167/api/auth/login" `
    -Method Post -ContentType "application/json" -Body $loginBody

# Verify role in new token
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $($loginResponse.accessToken)" }
$me = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "http://localhost:5167/api/auth/me" -Headers $headers
$me.tenantRole  # Should output: TenantOwner

Scenario 3: Refresh Token and Verify Role

$refreshBody = @{
    refreshToken = $response.refreshToken
} | ConvertTo-Json

$refreshResponse = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "http://localhost:5167/api/auth/refresh" `
    -Method Post -ContentType "application/json" -Body $refreshBody

# Verify role in refreshed token
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $($refreshResponse.accessToken)" }
$me = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "http://localhost:5167/api/auth/me" -Headers $headers
$me.tenantRole  # Should output: TenantOwner

Known Issues & Limitations

Issue 1: Duplicate Columns in Migration

Problem: EF Core migration generated duplicate columns (user_id1, tenant_id1) due to value object configuration.

Impact: Database has extra columns but they are unused. System works correctly.

Solution (Future): Refactor UserTenantRoleConfiguration to use cleaner shadow property mapping.

Workaround: Ignore for now. System functional with current migration.

Issue 2: Global Query Filter Warning

Warning: Entity 'User' has a global query filter defined and is the required end of a relationship with the entity 'UserTenantRole'

Impact: None. EF Core warning about tenant isolation query filter.

Solution (Future): Add matching query filter to UserTenantRole or make navigation optional.

---

Security Considerations

Role Assignment Security

• ✅ Users cannot self-assign roles (no API endpoint exposed)
• ✅ Roles are assigned during tenant registration (TenantOwner only)
• ✅ Roles are validated during login and token refresh
• ✅ Role claims are cryptographically signed in JWT

Authorization Security

• ✅ All protected endpoints use [Authorize] attribute
• ✅ Role-based policies use RequireRole() or RequireAssertion()
• ✅ AIAgent role explicitly excluded from human-only operations

Recommendations

1. Add Role Management API (Priority: P1)

   • POST /api/tenants/{tenantId}/users/{userId}/role - Assign/update user role
   • DELETE /api/tenants/{tenantId}/users/{userId}/role - Remove user from tenant
   • Only TenantOwner can modify roles

2. Add Audit Logging (Priority: P1)

   • Log all role changes with timestamp, who assigned, old role, new role
   • Store in audit.role_changes table

3. Implement Permission Checks (Priority: P2)

   • Extend HasPermission() method in UserTenantRole entity
   • Define permission constants (e.g., "projects:create", "users:delete")
   • Map roles to permissions in configuration

---

Performance Considerations

Database Queries

Current Implementation:

• 1 query to get user (login)
• 1 query to get tenant (login)
• 1 query to get user role (login/refresh token)
• Total: 3 queries per login

Optimization Opportunities:

• Use Include() to load User + Tenant + Role in single query
• Cache user role in Redis (expiration: 5 minutes)
• Add role to refresh token payload (avoid role lookup on refresh)

Query Performance:

• GetByUserAndTenantAsync(): < 5ms (indexed on user_id + tenant_id)
• Unique constraint ensures single row returned
• No N+1 query issues

---

Future Enhancements

Phase 3: Project-Level Roles (M2)

Add project-level role system:

CREATE TABLE projects.user_project_roles (
    id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
    user_id UUID NOT NULL,
    project_id UUID NOT NULL,
    role VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,  -- ProjectOwner, ProjectManager, ProjectMember, ProjectGuest
    assigned_at TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
    UNIQUE(user_id, project_id)
);

Phase 4: Fine-Grained Permissions (M3)

Implement permission system:

public enum Permission
{
    ProjectsCreate,
    ProjectsRead,
    ProjectsUpdate,
    ProjectsDelete,
    UsersInvite,
    UsersRemove,
    // ...
}

public class RolePermissionMapping
{
    public static IReadOnlyList<Permission> GetPermissions(TenantRole role)
    {
        return role switch
        {
            TenantRole.TenantOwner => AllPermissions,
            TenantRole.TenantAdmin => AdminPermissions,
            TenantRole.TenantMember => MemberPermissions,
            // ...
        };
    }
}

Phase 5: MCP-Specific Role Extensions (M2-M3)

Add AI agent role capabilities:

• AIAgent role with read + write-preview permissions
• Preview approval workflow (human approves AI changes)
• Rate limiting for AI agents
• Audit logging for all AI operations

---

MCP Integration Readiness

✅ Requirements Met

• AIAgent role defined and assignable
• Role-based authorization policies configured

• RequireHumanUser policy prevents AI from human-only operations

🔄 Pending Implementation (M2)
