Authentication

All ProjectManagement API endpoints require JWT authentication.

How to Authenticate

Include the JWT token in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer <your-jwt-token>

Obtaining JWT Token

Use the Authentication API to log in and get a token:

POST /api/Auth/login
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "tenantSlug": "your-tenant",
  "email": "user@example.com",
  "password": "your-password"
}

Response:

{
  "accessToken": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIs...",
  "refreshToken": "def50200...",
  "expiresIn": 900
}

JWT Claims

The token contains:

• tenant_id: The current tenant ID (Guid) - CRITICAL for multi-tenancy
• sub: The user ID (Guid)
• email: The user's email address
• role: User role (TenantOwner, TenantAdmin, TenantMember, Guest, AIAgent)

---

Common Response Codes

Status Code	Description
200 OK	Request successful
201 Created	Resource created successfully
204 No Content	Resource deleted successfully
400 Bad Request	Invalid request parameters or validation error
401 Unauthorized	Missing or invalid JWT token
403 Forbidden	User lacks permission (RBAC)
404 Not Found	Resource not found or not accessible (multi-tenant isolation)
500 Internal Server Error	Server error

---

Error Response Format

All error responses follow RFC 7807 Problem Details format:

{
  "type": "https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-6.5.4",
  "title": "Not Found",
  "status": 404,
  "detail": "Project with ID 'xxx' not found",
  "instance": "/api/v1/Projects/xxx"
}

---

Multi-Tenant Security

How It Works

1. JWT Token: Every request must include a JWT token with tenant_id claim
2. Automatic Filtering: All queries automatically filter by current tenant ID
3. 404 on Cross-Tenant Access: Accessing another tenant's resources returns 404 (not 403)
   • This prevents information leakage about whether the resource exists
4. Defense in Depth: Two layers of security:
   • Layer 1: EF Core global query filters (database level)
   • Layer 2: Application-level explicit TenantId validation

Security Guarantees

• 100% Tenant Isolation: You can ONLY access data belonging to your tenant
• Production Ready: Verified by 7 integration tests
• No TenantId in Request Body: The tenantId is automatically extracted from JWT token

Example

# Tenant A's request
GET /api/v1/Projects/tenant-b-project-id
Authorization: Bearer <tenant-a-token>

# Response: 404 Not Found (not 403 Forbidden)
# This prevents information leakage

  }
]

TypeScript Interface:

interface ProjectDto {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  key: string;
  description?: string;
  status: 'Active' | 'Archived' | 'OnHold';
  ownerId: string;
  createdAt: string; // ISO 8601

  epics: EpicDto[];
}

Rate Limiting

Currently no rate limiting is implemented.

Future plans: 1000 requests per minute per tenant.

---

API Versioning

Current version: v1

All endpoints are prefixed with /api/v1/

Future versions will use /api/v2/, etc.

---

Testing the API

Using Scalar UI (Recommended)

1. Go to http://localhost:5167/scalar/v1
2. Click "Authenticate" button
3. Enter: Bearer <your-jwt-token>
4. Try out API endpoints

Using curl

# Get all projects
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
     http://localhost:5167/api/v1/Projects

# Create project
curl -X POST \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"name":"Test Project","key":"TEST","ownerId":"user-guid"}' \
     http://localhost:5167/api/v1/Projects

# Get project by ID
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
     http://localhost:5167/api/v1/Projects/project-guid

Using Postman

1. Import OpenAPI JSON: http://localhost:5167/openapi/v1.json
2. Set Authorization: Bearer Token
3. Set token value
4. Test endpoints

---

Frontend Integration Tips

1. Generate TypeScript Types

Use openapi-typescript to auto-generate types from the OpenAPI spec:

npm install --save-dev openapi-typescript
npx openapi-typescript http://localhost:5167/openapi/v1.json --output ./src/types/api.ts

2. API Client Example

// src/api/client.ts
const BASE_URL = 'http://localhost:5167/api/v1';

export async function fetchProjects(token: string): Promise<ProjectDto[]> {
  const response = await fetch(`${BASE_URL}/Projects`, {
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}`,
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    }
  });

  if (!response.ok) {
    const error: ProblemDetails = await response.json();
    throw new Error(error.detail || 'Failed to fetch projects');
  }

  return response.json();
}

export async function createProject(
  token: string,
  data: CreateProjectCommand
): Promise<ProjectDto> {
  const response = await fetch(`${BASE_URL}/Projects`, {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}`,
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    body: JSON.stringify(data)
  });

  if (!response.ok) {
    const error: ProblemDetails = await response.json();
    throw new Error(error.detail || 'Failed to create project');
  }

  return response.json();
}

3. React Query Example

// src/hooks/useProjects.ts
import { useQuery, useMutation, useQueryClient } from '@tanstack/react-query';

export function useProjects(token: string) {
  return useQuery({
    queryKey: ['projects'],
    queryFn: () => fetchProjects(token)
