# Permission Enforcement - Complete Deployment Guide

## System Overview

You now have a complete permission enforcement system ready to integrate into your admin pages. The system ensures that:

✅ **No unauthorized access** - Sub-admins can only access what admins grant them
✅ **No privilege escalation** - Sub-admins cannot bypass restrictions  
✅ **No data modification** - Actions (delete, create, edit) are enforced at the backend
✅ **Clean UI** - Restricted buttons/features are hidden from unauthorized users

## Files Created

## Quick Start - 3 Steps

### Step 1: Add to Page Header (5 seconds)

Add this at the **very top** of any admin page (after `<?php` and `session_start()`):

```php
<?php
session_start();
require_once __DIR__ . '/helpers/enforce_init.php';

// Ensure user has access to this feature
EnforceInit::checkFeature('manage_products');

// Get capabilities for UI rendering
$caps = EnforceInit::getCapabilities('manage_products');
```

### Step 2: Hide/Disable UI Elements (based on permissions)

```php
<?php if ($caps['can_delete']): ?>
    <button onclick="deleteItem(...)">Delete</button>
<?php else: ?>
    <button disabled>Delete (Not Allowed)</button>
<?php endif; ?>
```

### Step 3: Protect API Handlers (prevents backend bypass)

```php
<?php
// In your delete/create/edit action handler
if ($_POST['action'] === 'delete') {
    EnforceInit::checkAction('manage_products', 'delete');
    // Only admins or admin-authorized sub-admins reach here
    // Delete logic continues...
}
```

## Page-by-Page Integration

### 1. **admin_products.php** (Highest Priority)

**Location:** Top of file, after session_start()

```php
<?php
session_start();
require_once __DIR__ . '/helpers/enforce_init.php';
EnforceInit::checkFeature('manage_products');
$caps = EnforceInit::getCapabilities('manage_products');

// Existing database connection code...
// ... rest of page ...
```

**In HTML (find delete/edit/create buttons):**

```php
<?php if ($caps['can_delete']): ?>
    <button onclick="deleteProduct(<?php echo $id; ?>)">Delete</button>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if ($caps['can_edit']): ?>
    <button onclick="editProduct(<?php echo $id; ?>)">Edit</button>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if ($caps['can_create']): ?>
    <button onclick="newProduct()">+ Add Product</button>
<?php endif; ?>
```

**In API Handler (if exists):**

```php
if ($_POST['action'] === 'delete_product') {
    EnforceInit::checkAction('manage_products', 'delete');
    // Delete logic...
}
```

### 2. **admin_blogs.php** (High Priority)

Same pattern as products - replace feature name:

```php
EnforceInit::checkFeature('manage_blogs');
$caps = EnforceInit::getCapabilities('manage_blogs');
```

### 3. **admin_manage_news.php** (High Priority)

```php
EnforceInit::checkFeature('manage_news');
$caps = EnforceInit::getCapabilities('manage_news');
```

### 4. **admin_manage_users.php** (CRITICAL)

THIS IS CRITICAL - Prevents unauthorized user deletion and privilege escalation:

```php
EnforceInit::checkFeature('manage_users');
$caps = EnforceInit::getCapabilities('manage_users');

// Hide admin/subadmin buttons unless user is admin
// Hide delete button unless has delete permission
```

### 5. **admin_orders.php** (High Priority)

```php
EnforceInit::checkFeature('manage_orders');
$caps = EnforceInit::getCapabilities('manage_orders');

// Editors can view but not edit order details
```

## Permission Levels & What They Can Do

### Viewer (Read-Only)
```
✅ View products/blogs/news
❌ Cannot create new items
❌ Cannot edit items
❌ Cannot delete items
```

### Editor (Create & Modify)
```
✅ View products/blogs/news
✅ Create new items
✅ Edit existing items
❌ Cannot delete items
```

### Administrator (Full Control)
```
✅ View products/blogs/news
✅ Create new items
✅ Edit existing items
✅ Delete items
```

### None (No Access)
```
❌ Cannot access page at all
```

## Testing Your Implementation

### Test 1: Viewer Sub-Admin
1. Create sub-admin with **Viewer** permission for Products
2. Login as that sub-admin
3. Go to Products page
4. ✅ Should see products (view works)
5. ✅ Delete/Edit/Create buttons should be **hidden**
6. Try API call with delete action → ✅ Should get 403 error

### Test 2: Editor Sub-Admin
1. Create sub-admin with **Editor** permission for Products
2. Login as that sub-admin
3. Go to Products page
4. ✅ Should see products
5. ✅ Should see Create and Edit buttons
6. ❌ Delete button should be **hidden**
7. Try to delete via API → ✅ Should get 403 error
8. Try to create item → ✅ Should work

### Test 3: Administrator Sub-Admin
1. Create sub-admin with **Administrator** permission for Products
2. Login as that sub-admin
3. All buttons visible and functional

### Test 4: No Permission Sub-Admin
1. Create sub-admin with **None** permission for Products
2. Login as that sub-admin
3. Try to visit Products page
4. ✅ Should redirect to dashboard with error message

## Troubleshooting

### Issue: Sub-admin can still delete via direct API call
**Solution:** Add `EnforceInit::checkAction('manage_products', 'delete');` to your API handler

### Issue: Delete button still showing for Viewers
**Solution:** Wrap button in `<?php if ($caps['can_delete']): ?>...<?php endif; ?>`

### Issue: "Access denied" error when accessing page
**Solution:** Check that admin granted 'view' permission for the feature

### Issue: Permission changes not reflected immediately
**Cause:** Browser cache and PHP session cache
**Solution:** Logout and login again to refresh session

---

## Security Best Practices

1. **ALWAYS check on backend** - Never trust client-side permission checks alone
2. **Hide when not allowed** - Hide buttons if user doesn't have permission
3. **Check before processing** - Use `EnforceInit::checkAction()` before delete/create/edit
4. **Log sensitive actions** - Consider logging permission denials for audit trail
5. **Test with each permission level** - Don't assume what works for admin works for viewers
