Dependency

• We are implementing FastAPI: Initial Scaffold for FastAPI Implementation #788. Once the basic implementation is complete we will have clarity on how to implement RBAC.

• Parent Issue Enhance Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) with Terraform and Python for Improved Codebase Accessibility #774

Overview

This issue focuses on managing and refactoring Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) within the application code using Python. The aim is to simplify the RBAC logic, improve code readability, and create comprehensive documentation that supports junior developers in contributing to the codebase.

Action Items

1. Review and Refactor Existing RBAC Logic

   • Analyze the current RBAC implementation in the Python codebase.
   • Refactor the code to improve readability, maintainability, and clarity.

2. Enhance Code Documentation

   • Add comprehensive comments and explanations within the Python code to make the RBAC logic easier to understand.
   • Ensure that the documentation is beginner-friendly and accessible to junior developers.

3. Testing and Validation

   • Validate that the refactored RBAC logic functions correctly and integrates smoothly with other parts of the application.
   • Conduct unit tests to cover various roles and permissions scenarios.

4. **Integration with Terraform

   • Ensure that the Python-based RBAC logic is consistent with any Terraform-based configurations.
   • Document how the application-level RBAC integrates with the infrastructure-level RBAC, if relevant.

Resources/Instructions

A well-documented and refactored Python-based RBAC system that is easy for junior developers to navigate and contribute to, ensuring consistency with any Terraform configurations.
