FuSa SW Tool - Jherrod Thomas

Secure application routes based on user authentication and permissions, and update the top navigation bar to display the logged-in user’s name instead of Login / Sign Up actions.

Scope & Requirements¶

1. Route Protection (Permission-Based Access)¶

• Secure the following routes using authentication & role/permission checks:

  • Dashboard
  • Projects
  • Work Products
  • Team
  • Analytics
  • Tool Integrations
  • Settings

• Unauthorized users:

  • Redirect to Login page
  • Or show Access Denied page (based on permission failure)

2. Header Navigation Update¶

• When user is not authenticated:

  • Show Login and Sign Up buttons

• When user is authenticated:

  • Replace Login / Sign Up with:

    • Welcome, {User Name}

    • Dropdown menu with:

      • Profile
      • Logout

3. Authentication State Handling¶

• Persist user session across refresh (token/session-based)

• Handle expired sessions:

  • Auto logout
  • Redirect to Login

• Prevent access to protected routes via direct URL entry

UI Changes¶

• Replace Login | Sign Up with:

  • 👤 Welcome, John
  • Dropdown menu

• Hide unauthorized menu items dynamically
