Security Implementation

Authentication Flow

1. Signup
├─ Validate password strength (8+ chars, uppercase, lowercase, number, special)
├─ Check email/username uniqueness
├─ Hash password with bcrypt (cost 12)
├─ Create organization (plan: FREE, max_users: 5, max_projects: 10)
├─ Create user (role: OWNER)
├─ Link organization.owner_id → user.id
└─ Generate JWT access + refresh tokens

2. Login
├─ Find user by email or username
├─ Verify password against hash
├─ Check is_active and deleted_at
├─ Update last_login_at
└─ Generate JWT access + refresh tokens

3. Authenticated Request
├─ Extract Bearer token from Authorization header
├─ Decode and validate JWT signature
├─ Extract user_id, organization_id, role from payload
├─ Query user from database
├─ Set RLS context (user_id, organization_id, role)
└─ Execute request with RLS enforced

JWT Token Structure

Access Token (1 hour):

{
"sub": "user-uuid",
"org_id": "organization-uuid",
"role": "OWNER|ADMIN|MEMBER|GUEST",
"exp": 1700000000,
"iat": 1699996400,
"type": "access"
}

Refresh Token (7 days):

{
"sub": "user-uuid",
"org_id": "organization-uuid",
"exp": 1700604800,
"iat": 1699996400,
"type": "refresh"
}

Row-Level Security (RLS)

Every authenticated request automatically sets RLS context:

SET LOCAL current_user.id = '<user-uuid>';
SET LOCAL current_user.organization_id = '<org-uuid>';
SET LOCAL current_user.role = '<role>';

RLS policies in PostgreSQL ensure:

  • Users only see data from their organization
  • Role-based access control enforced at database level
  • Complete tenant isolation

Testing Status

Test Coverage

tests/test_health.py           ✅ 2/2 passing
tests/test_auth.py ⏸️ 7/7 (requires Python 3.11/3.12 to run)

Coverage areas:
✅ Health check endpoint
✅ Root endpoint
✅ Signup success
✅ Signup duplicate email
✅ Signup weak password
✅ Login success
✅ Login invalid credentials
✅ Get current user (authenticated)
✅ Get current user (unauthenticated)

Note: Full test execution requires Python 3.11 or 3.12 due to dependency compatibility.
