✅ Implemented Features
Added a workspace dropdown in the navigation bar that shows:
Current active workspace with avatar and name
Option to switch between personal account and shared workspaces
Workspace creation option
Created a dedicated settings section (#settings) with:
Workspace Settings Card: Shows workspace info, member count, and user role
Members Management: List of all workspace members with their roles
Role-based Permissions Display: Clear explanation of what each role can do
Invite Members: Modal for inviting new members with role selection
Change Member Roles: Dropdown to change existing member roles
Remove Members: Ability to remove members from workspace
Permission-based UI: Buttons and options only show for users with appropriate permissions
Updated the role system to use proper hierarchy:
Owner: Full control, can manage everything
Admin: Can manage members and all workspace data
Manager: Can manage budgets and approve expenses
Member: Can add/edit expenses and view reports
Viewer: Read-only access to expenses and reports
5. Backend Integration
Updated RBAC middleware to support the new role structure
Modified API routes to allow owners and admins to manage members
Updated workspace service functions for proper permission checking
Fixed server.js async/await syntax issue
6. UI/UX Enhancements
Responsive Design: Works on mobile and desktop
Visual Role Indicators: Color-coded role badges
Permission Explanations: Clear descriptions of what each role can do
Smooth Navigation: Settings section integrates with existing navigation
Real-time Updates: Member list updates after role changes
Key Files Modified:
rbac.js - Updated role constants
workspaces.js - Updated route permissions
workspaceService.js - Enhanced member management functions
index.html - Added workspace selector, settings section, and invite modal
expensetracker.css - Added comprehensive styling for workspace and settings UI
workspace-feature.js - Complete member management functionality
server.js - Fixed async syntax issue
How It Works:
Workspace Selection: Users can switch between personal account and shared workspaces
Access Settings: Click "Settings" in navigation to access workspace management
Invite Members: Owners/Admins can invite new members with specific roles
Manage Roles: Change member roles using dropdown menus
Remove Members: Remove members who no longer need access
Permission Enforcement: All actions are properly permission-checked on both frontend and backend
The implementation provides a complete admin panel for managing roles and permissions dynamically, addressing the original issue where there was RBAC middleware but no UI for managing it. Users with appropriate permissions can now easily manage workspace membership and roles through an intuitive interface.
