Privilege System Reference

Core Principles

• Declare privileges in Privileges.java - append to enum without reordering
• Check in controllers via webUserController.hasPrivilege(...)
• Assign through UI via User Privileges admin interface; never seed in database
• Name descriptively so usage is obvious from enum value

Common Privileges

Adding a New Privilege

1. Check src/main/java/com/divudi/core/data/Privileges.java - reuse existing if matching behavior exists
2. Never rename or edit legacy enum values (backward compatibility)
3. Add to most relevant section, keeping existing grouping
4. Update src/main/webapp/admin/users/user_privileges.xhtml for UI assignment
5. Extend UserPrivilageController.createPrivilegeHolderTreeNodes() for tree rendering

Usage in XHTML

<p:column rendered="#{webUserController.hasPrivilege('PharmacyTransferViewRates')}">
    <h:outputText value="#{item.rate}" />
</p:column>

Testing Checklist

• Log in WITHOUT the privilege - confirm UI element is hidden/disabled
• Log in WITH the privilege - verify workflow succeeds end-to-end
• Document new privilege in release notes
