Issues Found

Issue #1: Missing Roles (Expected vs Actual)

Severity: P3 - Minor (Documentation/Expectation Mismatch)

Description:

Test plan expects 11 roles including:

SUPER_ADMIN
EXPIRED_MEMBER
PENDING_PAYMENT

Only 9 roles are displayed in the tenant-level Roles & Permissions page.

Analysis:

SUPER_ADMIN is likely platform-level and not shown in tenant settings (expected behavior)
EXPIRED_MEMBER not present - unclear if this is by design or missing
PENDING_PAYMENT appears to be named PENDING_MEMBER instead (naming inconsistency)

Recommendation:

Clarify role naming conventions in documentation
Confirm if EXPIRED_MEMBER role is intentionally excluded or missing

Issue #2: Quick Login Doesn't Apply Role Changes

Severity: P3 - Minor (UX Issue)

Description:

When using Quick Login buttons after role assignment, role changes don't take effect. Users must manually log in with email and password for role changes to apply.

Steps to Reproduce:

Admin assigns EVENT_MANAGER role to a user
Log out
Use "Member" Quick Login button
Result: User does not see Events admin section

Workaround:

Expected Behavior:

Quick Login should respect current user roles in database

Actual Behavior:

Quick Login appears to use cached/preset role configuration

Recommendation:

Investigate Quick Login authentication mechanism
Ensure Quick Login queries current database state for roles
Or add UI warning that Quick Login uses demo/cached credentials

Observations

Positive Findings

Immediate Role Effect: Role changes take effect immediately after login (no cache issues)
Clean UI: Manage Roles dialog is intuitive with clear checkbox interface
Role Badges: Visual role badges on profile make it easy to see current roles
No Data Loss: Role assignment/removal doesn't affect user data
Multi-Role Support: Users can have multiple roles simultaneously (tested member + event_manager)

Areas Not Covered (Out of Scope for TC_RBAC_001)

Permission matrix modification (covered in TC_RBAC_002)
Full access control matrix testing (covered in TC_RBAC_003)
Direct URL bypass testing
API authorization testing
Cross-tenant isolation

Recommendations for Phase 3 Continuation

Priority 1: Complete TC_RBAC_002 (Permission Assignment)

Test the permission matrix interface:

Assign specific permissions to roles
Remove permissions from roles
Verify lower roles cannot modify permissions

Priority 2: Complete TC_RBAC_003 (Full Access Control Matrix)

Systematically test all 9 roles against all 6 admin pages:

Dashboard access
Members access
Invoices access
Events access
Broadcasts access
Settings access

Test security:

Direct URL bypass attempts
API authorization with various role tokens
Cross-tenant isolation

Sign-Off

Test Execution: ✅ Complete

Test Result: ✅ PASS (4/4 scenarios)

Issues Logged: 2 (Minor)

Ready for: TC_RBAC_002 & TC_RBAC_003

Notes:

Core role management functionality works correctly. Minor issues found are UX-related and do not block production use. Recommend documenting Quick Login limitation in user guide.
