Summary

Closes #32

• Adds persisted admin, operator, and viewer roles to the Better Auth user model.
• Adds a migration that promotes the earliest existing account to admin and defaults other/current new accounts to viewer.
• Enforces API permissions centrally: read/write permissions for domains, servers, proxy/config, logs, settings, and users.
• Makes authorization deny-by-default for unclassified API routes and removes unauthenticated access to proxy status.
• Adds admin-only user listing and role assignment endpoints (GET /api/users, PATCH /api/users/:id/role).
• Prevents demotion of the final administrator and reads role from DB on every request so changes apply immediately.
• Adds role matrix, migration and API documentation plus unit tests for role/route policy.

Roles

Capability	Admin	Operator	Viewer
Domains and server inventory	Read/write	Read/write	Read-only
Proxy config/status/certificates	Read/write	Read/write	Read-only
Logs	Read	Read	Read
Global SMTP/auth settings	Read/write	No access to write	Read-only
User/role management	Read/write	No	No

Verification

• Added Bun tests for role permissions and API route method mapping.
• Added a Drizzle migration and updated schema/journal.
• Build and database migration integration tests have not been executed in this connector environment; GitHub Actions should verify the branch after opening this PR.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added role-based access for administrators, operators, and viewers, with permissions applied to API actions.
  • Administrators can view users and their permissions, and change user roles. The last administrator cannot demote themselves.
  • Existing installations assign administrator access to the earliest-created account; other existing accounts and new accounts default to viewer. Sign-up cannot choose a role.
  • Proxy status now requires authentication and proxy-read access.
• Documentation
  • Added guidance on roles, permissions, account defaults, and user management.

Review comments at @drizzle/0004_add_user_roles.sql:
- Around line 3-4: Update the fresh-install bootstrap so the first account
receives the admin role; the first_user CTE in this migration runs before any
account exists and cannot provide that behavior. Implement the assignment in the
user-creation flow, such as user.create.before in buildBetterAuth, only after
confirming the returned role is persisted by Better Auth, and preserve viewer
for subsequent signups.

Review comments at @drizzle/meta/_journal.json:
- Line 9: Add the missing 0003_snapshot.json and 0004_snapshot.json for the
0003_domain_check_runs and 0004_add_user_roles journal entries, matching each
entry’s schema state. Set their id and prevId fields to form the correct
snapshot chain so 0004 includes user.role and future generation does not re-add
it.

Review comments at @src/__tests__/roles.test.ts:
- Around line 7-9: Add API-level denial tests in the roles test suite by sending
requests through createApp as a viewer to POST /api/domains and as an operator
to PUT /api/settings/app. Assert that both responses return status 403 with the
FORBIDDEN code, exercising the apiAuthGuard hook rather than only hasPermission
or permissionForApiRequest.

Review comments at @src/auth/roles.ts:
- Line 13: Update the pathname permission mapping in the roles logic to classify
the exact /api/domains/export route as domains:write before the broader
/api/domains prefix rule; preserve the existing method-based permissions for
other domain routes.

Review comments at @src/controllers/user.controller.ts:
- Around line 25-31: Update the self-demotion check and role update in the
controller so they execute within one `db.transaction`; lock the administrator
rows during the count using the database’s supported `SELECT ... FOR UPDATE`
mechanism, then preserve the 409 response when only one administrator remains
and perform the role update in that transaction.

Walkthrough

This change adds admin, operator, and viewer roles to the API. It stores roles on user records, checks route permissions, adds administrator user-management endpoints, and documents the role policy and migration behavior.

Changes

Role-based access control

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Role data and session identity src/db/schema.ts, drizzle/0004_add_user_roles.sql, drizzle/meta/_journal.json, src/auth/middleware.ts	User records gain a role that defaults to viewer. The migration promotes the earliest existing account to admin. Database-backed session lookup includes the user’s role.
Permission mapping and enforcement src/auth/roles.ts, src/middleware/apiAuthGuard.ts, src/http/constants.ts, src/controllers/appSettings.controller.ts, src/controllers/system.controller.ts, src/__tests__/roles.test.ts, docs/rbac.md	API requests map to role permissions, and the guard denies requests without the required permission. Proxy status is no longer public, and app settings updates require admin. The tests cover role permissions and request mapping.
Administrator user management src/controllers/user.controller.ts, src/routes/createApp.ts, docs/rbac.md, README.md	The new user routes list users and update roles. They validate requested roles and prevent the only administrator from demoting themselves. The application registers the routes, and the documentation describes role management and migration behavior.

Possibly related issues

• Issue 33 asks how the first administrator is selected and how later signups are assigned roles. This change promotes the earliest existing account and assigns viewer to new accounts.
• Issue 37 asks for fresh-install setup and login tests. The migration’s first-admin behavior is relevant, but this change does not add end-to-end tests.

Possibly related PRs

• zhravan/proxydeck#10: This change extends the persisted user record and migration system introduced there.
• zhravan/proxydeck#13: This change updates the public API surface and adds role-based checks to the authentication guard.

Merge Risk: High · up to 318b3

Resolve administrator bootstrapping and concurrent demotion before merging: fresh installations cannot administer settings, and simultaneous demotions can leave existing installations without an administrator. Export permissions and migration metadata also need correction.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "security: add role-based access control" matches the main change in the changeset. The PR adds persisted admin, operator, and viewer roles, a migration that assigns roles to existing and new users, role-based permission checks in the API middleware, and admin-only user-management endpoints. The conventional-commit prefix "security:" is accurate for an access-control change. The title is specific and concise, and it does not contain file lists or vague wording.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #32 requires initial roles, role-based API restrictions, enforcement for proxy, domain, and server operations, and tests for allowed and denied actions. src/auth/roles.ts defines admin, operator, and viewer, maps API methods and paths to permissions, and fails closed for unknown API routes. src/middleware/apiAuthGuard.ts applies the policy to authenticated requests. The policy covers proxy, domain, and server paths. src/__tests__/roles.test.ts tests role permissions, read/write mappings, denied operations, and unknown-route handling.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The migration, persisted user role, live role lookup, centralized API guard, user role-management routes, documentation, and tests support the RBAC objective in issue #32. The changes do not show a demonstrated unrelated feature or unrelated modification.

I found and fixed a TypeScript compile issue from the first CI run (admin:only was not included in the permission union). A new commit is now on the PR branch; GitHub should start a fresh CI run. The existing CI failure belongs to the previous head SHA.

Give the first account an admin role on fresh installs.

On a fresh install, the migration promotes no account. The first signup receives the viewer default, and no other code assigns admin. The admin-only settings and PATCH /api/users/:id/role endpoints then stay unreachable without a direct database update.

Suggested direction

Assign admin when the user count is zero, for example in the user.create.before hook in src/auth/buildBetterAuth.ts. Document this bootstrap in docs/rbac.md. I did not verify a diff: the hook must return a role value that Better Auth persists, and that behavior is not established from the repository.

Add the snapshots for journal entries 3 and 4.

The 0004_add_user_roles entry has no drizzle/meta/0004_snapshot.json. The 0003_domain_check_runs entry has no 0003_snapshot.json either. drizzle-kit generate compares the schema against the most recent snapshot, which is 0002_snapshot.json. That snapshot has no user.role column, so the next generated migration may add role again. Add 0003_snapshot.json and 0004_snapshot.json that match the current schema, and link them through id and prevId.

Add API-level tests for denied role requests.

The new tests call only hasPermission and permissionForApiRequest. No test sends a request through createApp, so removing the apiAuthGuard hook would not fail this suite. Add requests as a viewer to POST /api/domains and as an operator to PUT /api/settings/app. Assert 403 with the FORBIDDEN code.

Why this matters

Issue #32 asks for tests for allowed and denied actions. The denied cases here are checked only at the policy-helper level.

Classify GET /api/domains/export as a write permission.

The export route is a GET, so the guard maps it to domains:read, which viewers hold. The export handler performs no role check, so viewers can download the portfolio. The documented matrix denies viewers domain export.

Lock the admin count and the role update in one transaction.

The last-administrator check runs as a separate query before the role update, and neither runs inside a transaction. Two admins who demote themselves at the same time can both pass the count check, which leaves no administrator. Wrap the count and update in db.transaction, lock the admin rows with SELECT ... FOR UPDATE, and return 409 when only one admin remains.
