hermes - 💡(How to fix) Fix feat(admin): add ability to change user role (admin ↔ agent) [1 participants]

TL;DR

Implementing a PUT /api/admin/users/{id}/role API endpoint and adding a "Change Role" button to the User Management UI will allow administrators to change a user's role after creation.

Guidance

• Create a new API endpoint PUT /api/admin/users/{id}/role that accepts a JSON body with a role property, which can be either "admin" or "agent".
• Add a "Change Role" button to the Actions column in the User Management table, which opens a modal with a role dropdown menu.
• Implement validation to prevent an admin from demoting themselves to an agent, to avoid lockout.
• Ensure the API endpoint and UI button are properly secured with authentication and authorization checks.

Example

// Example API request body
{
  "role": "agent"
}

Notes

The implementation details of the API endpoint and UI button may vary depending on the specific technology stack and framework being used. Additionally, proper error handling and validation should be implemented to ensure the security and integrity of the system.

Recommendation

Apply workaround by implementing the required API endpoint and UI changes, as this will provide a direct solution to the problem and allow administrators to change a user's role after creation.
