Phase 2.5: Access Control - COMPLETE! ✅

Completion Date: 2026-02-15 21:14:00 UTC

What Was Accomplished

Four Major Components Implemented

1. ✅ Permission System

   • Permission model with resource-based access control
   • Three permission levels: Read, Write, Admin
   • Support for multiple resource types (profiles, health data, lab results, medications)
   • Audit trail (granted_by tracking)

2. ✅ Share Management

   • Share model for resource sharing between users
   • Expiration support for temporary shares
   • Active/inactive status tracking
   • Full CRUD API endpoints

3. ✅ Permission Middleware

   • has_permission() middleware for route protection
   • Automatic permission checking based on JWT claims
   • Resource ID extraction from URL paths
   • Support for both direct permissions and shares

4. ✅ Permission Check API

   • Check permissions programmatically
   • Support for all permission levels
   • Consolidated permission checking (direct + shared)

API Endpoints

Share Management (5)

• POST /api/shares - Create share
• GET /api/shares - List shares
• GET /api/shares/:id - Get share details
• PUT /api/shares/:id - Update share
• DELETE /api/shares/:id - Revoke share

Permission Check (1)

• GET /api/permissions/check - Check if user has permission

Security Features

• JWT-based authentication required for all endpoints
• Only resource owners can create/update/delete shares
• Share recipients can view their shares
• Permission middleware enforces access control
• Audit trail for all permission grants
