β¨ Feature Description
Add JWT-based authentication and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to secure SecuScan deployments in multi-user environments.
π€ Problem It Solves
Currently, SecuScan operates without authentication. If deployed on a shared lab server or cloud VM, any user with access to the port can execute intrusive scans or view sensitive reports.
This creates major security risks for teams and enterprise environments.
π‘ Proposed Solution
Backend
- Implement JWT-based authentication using FastAPI
- Add secure login/logout endpoints
- Add password hashing and token validation
RBAC Roles
Admin
- Run scans
- Manage plugins
- Manage users
- View reports/history
Viewer
- View reports/history only
- No scan execution permissions
Frontend
- Add login page
- Add protected routes
- Add role-based UI rendering
π Alternatives Considered
- API-key authentication
- Reverse proxy authentication
- Local-only deployments
However, JWT + RBAC provides proper scalability and secure access isolation.
πΈ Mockups / Examples
Similar Platforms
- GitLab RBAC
- Grafana Authentication
- SonarQube Role Management

Acceptance Criteria
Authentication
RBAC
Frontend
π Additional Context
This feature is essential before deploying SecuScan in shared lab or cloud environments where multiple users may access the platform.
