Overview

Complete user management system with dedicated admin interface, user creation, role management, and comprehensive API endpoints.

What Was Completed

User Management Page

• Created dedicated /admin/users route
• Separate page from main admin dashboard
• Clean, organized interface for user administration

Features Implemented

User Creation

• Inline user creation form
• Fields: username, email, password, role
• Real-time validation
• Success/error messaging

User Display

• List all users with key information
• Shows: username, email, role, status, creation date
• Clean table layout with proper formatting

User Statistics

• Total user count
• Active/inactive breakdown
• Role distribution

Role Management

• Listener role (default)
• DJ role (content creators)
• Admin role (full access)

User Actions

• Activate/deactivate users
• Role assignment
• User deletion (future enhancement)

API Endpoints

GET /api/users

Returns all users in the system

{
  "status": "success",
  "users": [
    {
      "id": 2,
      "username": "admin",
      "email": "admin@asteroid.radio",
      "role": "admin",
      "active": true,
      "created-date": 1759214069
    }
  ]
}

GET /api/users/stats

{
  "status": "success",
  "total-users": 6,
  "active-users": 6,
  "roles": {
    "admin": 2,
    "listener": 4
  }
}

POST /api/users/create

POST /asteroid/api/users/create
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

username=newuser&email=user@example.com&password=pass123&role=listener

Files Created/Modified

New Files

• template/users.chtml - User management template
• test-user-api.sh - API testing script

Modified Files

• asteroid.lisp - Added user management routes
• auth-routes.lisp - Enhanced authentication
• user-management.lisp - Core user functions

Technical Implementation

Authentication & Authorization

• Requires admin role for user management
• Session-based authentication
• Role-based access control (RBAC)

Database Schema

Users stored in USERS collection with fields:

• _id - Unique identifier
• username - Unique username
• email - Email address
• password-hash - Bcrypt hashed password
• role - User role (listener/DJ/admin)
• active - Active status (boolean)
• created-date - Unix timestamp
• last-login - Unix timestamp

Security Features

• Password hashing with bcrypt
• Session management
• CSRF protection (via Radiance)
• Role-based access control

Testing

API Testing Script

Created test-user-api.sh for comprehensive testing:

# Test user statistics
curl -s http://localhost:8080/asteroid/api/users/stats | jq .

# Test user creation (with authentication)
curl -s -b cookies.txt -X POST http://localhost:8080/asteroid/api/users/create \
  -d "username=testuser" \
  -d "email=test@example.com" \
  -d "password=testpass123" \
  -d "role=listener" | jq .

Test Results

• ✅ All API endpoints working
• ✅ User creation successful
• ✅ Authentication working
• ✅ Role assignment working
• ✅ 6 users created and tested

Usage

5. User appears in the list immediately

Managing Users

Integration

• Integrated authentication

With Authentication System

• Uses existing auth-routes.lisp
• Leverages session management
• Integrates with role system

Future Enhancements (Requires PostgreSQL)
