## VALIDATION RULES
### Role Changes
- βœ… Platform admin can assign any role
- βœ… Org admins can assign org roles (not platform_admin)
- βœ… Role must match organization type:
- `client_admin` requires `client_id`
- `contractor_admin` requires `contractor_id`
### Organization Changes
- βœ… User can be in client OR contractor (not both)
- βœ… Client must exist and be active
- βœ… Contractor must exist and be active
- βœ… Role must be compatible:
- Can't assign `contractor_admin` to client
- Can't assign `client_admin` to contractor
### Status Changes
- βœ… Valid statuses: invited, pending_setup, active, suspended
- βœ… Suspended users have `is_active=False`
- βœ… Active users have `is_active=True`
### Deletion
- βœ… Only platform admin can delete
- βœ… Cannot delete yourself
- βœ… Soft delete preserves data
- βœ… Deleted users have `deleted_at` timestamp
---
## AUDIT LOGGING
All operations are logged with:
- βœ… Action type (update, status_change, role_change, etc.)
- βœ… User who performed the action
- βœ… Target user
- βœ… Changes made (old vs new values)
- βœ… Reason (when provided)
- βœ… Timestamp
- βœ… IP address and user agent
**Example Audit Log:**
```json
{
"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"
}
```

## MIGRATION NOTES
### Breaking Changes
- ❌ None - All changes are additive
### New Dependencies
- ❌ None - Uses existing dependencies
### Database Changes
- ❌ None - Uses existing schema
### Configuration Changes
- ❌ None
---
## PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS
### Optimizations Implemented
- βœ… Efficient database queries with proper filtering
- βœ… Pagination to handle large user lists
- βœ… Index usage on common filter fields
- βœ… Minimal database round trips
### Recommended Indexes (Already Exist)
```sql
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
- βœ… Hierarchical permission checks
- βœ… Cannot delete yourself
- βœ… Cannot escalate own privileges
- βœ… Org admins cannot assign platform_admin role
- βœ… Org admins cannot change organizations
- βœ… All operations are audit logged
- βœ… 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
