Yes, I have worked with permissions in various systems.

Main types of permissions:

  • Role-based Access Control (RBAC): rights are assigned to roles, and users acquire roles.
  • Discretionary Access Control (DAC): the resource owner determines who can do what.
  • Mandatory Access Control (MAC): rights are defined by security policies and do not depend on the owner.

Features of permission testing:

  • Check access for different roles and users.
  • Test both positive scenarios (access granted) and negative ones (access denied).
  • Ensure there are no bypasses through other interfaces or APIs.
  • Automate tests to quickly verify changes in access logic.

Example: if there is an "administrator" role, the test should confirm that the administrator can create and delete records, while a regular user cannot.
