🏗️ Architecture Highlights

4-Layer Security (Winston's Design)

Layer 1: Database (FKs, constraints, unique indexes)
Layer 2: Model (scopes, validations, security methods)
Layer 3: Controller (authorization, security events)
Layer 4: UI (route guards, client validation)

Cryptographic Token System

  • Generation: SecureRandom.urlsafe_base64(64) (512 bits)
  • Storage: SHA-256 hash only
  • Enforcement: Redis SETNX with TTL
  • Single-use: Atomic operations prevent race conditions

Security Event Types (6 total)

  1. unauthorized_institution_access
  2. insufficient_privileges
  3. token_validation_failure
  4. rate_limit_exceeded
  5. invitation_accepted
  6. super_admin_demoted

🎯 Key Features Implemented

Data Isolation

  • Institution.for_user(user) scope used everywhere
  • user.can_access_institution?(inst) verification
  • Cross-institution access attempts logged and blocked

Role-Based Access

  • cohort_super_admin: Full management
  • cohort_admin: Cohort management only
  • Existing DocuSeal roles preserved

Rate Limiting

  • Max 5 pending invitations per email
  • Per-institution enforcement
  • Redis-backed counter

Token Security

  • 24-hour expiration
  • Email verification required
  • Single-use enforcement
  • Never logged in plaintext

Audit Trail

  • All security events logged
  • IP address capture
  • Details in JSONB
  • CSV export capability

Integration Compatibility

  • Zero impact on existing DocuSeal features
  • Additive database changes only
  • Existing authentication preserved
  • CanCanCan extended, not replaced

🚀 Next Steps (For You)

Immediate Setup

# 1. Complete Ruby installation (you're on Step 2)
