{
  "client_id": "123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000",
  "contractor_id": null,
  "reason": "Transferred to new client"
}

VALIDATION RULES

Role Changes

✅ Platform admin can assign any role
✅ Org admins can assign org roles (not platform_admin)
✅ Role must match organization type:
- client_admin requires client_id
- contractor_admin requires contractor_id

Organization Changes

✅ User can be in client OR contractor (not both)
✅ Client must exist and be active
✅ Contractor must exist and be active
✅ Role must be compatible:
- Can't assign contractor_admin to client
- Can't assign client_admin to contractor

Status Changes

✅ Valid statuses: invited, pending_setup, active, suspended
✅ Suspended users have is_active=False
✅ Active users have is_active=True

Deletion

✅ Only platform admin can delete
✅ Cannot delete yourself
✅ Soft delete preserves data
✅ Deleted users have deleted_at timestamp

AUDIT LOGGING

All operations are logged with:

✅ Action type (update, status_change, role_change, etc.)
✅ User who performed the action
✅ Target user
✅ Changes made (old vs new values)
✅ Reason (when provided)
✅ Timestamp
✅ IP address and user agent

Example Audit Log:

{
  "action": "role_change",
  "entity_type": "user",
  "entity_id": "user-uuid",
  "performed_by": "admin-uuid",
  "description": "User role changed from field_agent to dispatcher",
  "changes": {
    "old_role": "field_agent",
    "new_role": "dispatcher",
    "reason": "Promoted due to excellent performance"
  },
  "timestamp": "2025-11-16T10:30:00Z",
  "ip_address": "192.168.1.1"
}

New Dependencies

❌ None - Uses existing dependencies

Database Changes

❌ None - Uses existing schema

Configuration Changes

❌ None

PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS

Optimizations Implemented

✅ Efficient database queries with proper filtering
✅ Pagination to handle large user lists
✅ Index usage on common filter fields
✅ Minimal database round trips

Recommended Indexes (Already Exist)

CREATE INDEX idx_users_contractor ON users (contractor_id) WHERE contractor_id IS NOT NULL AND deleted_at IS NULL;
CREATE INDEX idx_users_client ON users (client_id) WHERE client_id IS NOT NULL AND deleted_at IS NULL;
CREATE INDEX idx_users_role ON users (role) WHERE deleted_at IS NULL;
CREATE INDEX idx_users_status ON users (status) WHERE deleted_at IS NULL;
CREATE INDEX idx_users_email ON users (email) WHERE deleted_at IS NULL;

SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS

Implemented Security Measures

✅ Hierarchical permission checks
✅ Cannot delete yourself
✅ Cannot escalate own privileges
✅ Org admins cannot assign platform_admin role
✅ Org admins cannot change organizations
✅ All operations are audit logged
✅ Soft delete preserves data for compliance

Future Enhancements

Rate limiting on user operations
Email notification on role/status changes
Require password confirmation for sensitive operations
Multi-factor authentication for admin operations
