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.
