/** * Playwright RBAC matrix (P1-7b) — walks the SCREENS.md permission * grid at the HTTP layer through the real Express app. * * Companion to server/tests/rbac-matrix.test.js, which exercises the * requireRole middleware on a mocked Express fixture. This file goes * through the real /api/* endpoints, so it also exercises JWT, RBAC * predicates in controllers, and route plumbing. * * Cells asserted (SCREENS.md §Role Permissions Matrix): * row admin principal teacher student parent * /api/users ✓ View ✓ View 403 403 403 * /api/departments ✓ View ✓ View 403 403 403 * /api/hr/management ✓ CRUD ✓ CRUD 403 403 403 * /api/finance/payroll 403 403 403 403 403 * ✓ CRUD (bursar) * /api/fees ✓ CRUD 403 403 ✓ View ✓ Pay * /api/exams/take 403 403 403 ✓ Exec 403 * /api/clubs-management 403 403 403 403 403 * ✓ CRUD (clubs_head) * * The matrix below uses the {role: status} tuple to keep the test * self-documenting.
