RBAC UI

A comprehensive Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) administration interface built with Next.js 15 and TypeScript. Provides intuitive user, role, and permission management with a modern, accessible UI powered by shadcn/ui components.

The Problem & User Needs

Managing complex user permissions and roles in enterprise applications is notoriously difficult and prone to security errors. Administrators needed an intuitive, visual interface to manage these permissions securely without diving into raw databases.

Role & Contributions

Role

Frontend Architect & UI Developer

Responsibilities

Designing the dashboard layout, implementing complex state management for permissions, and integrating accessible shadcn/ui components.

Research Methods

Analyzed administrative dashboards in AWS IAM and Google Workspace. Identified that hierarchical permission displays and bulk assignment tools were critical for reducing cognitive load on administrators.

Design Process

01. UX Workflows

Created user flows for common administrative tasks (e.g., onboarding a new employee, revoking access).

02. UI Components

Utilized shadcn/ui to build accessible data tables, complex nested forms, and confirmation dialogs.

03. Data Handling

Implemented strict TypeScript interfaces to map roles and permissions, ensuring UI state matches the backend contract.
