## System Overview

MedhaOneAccess is a comprehensive access control management system designed to handle complex permissions and hierarchical structures for users and resources. The system provides granular access control through expressions and follows BODMAS-based resolution for determining effective permissions.

### Architecture

The system provides dual architecture options:

#### Synchronous Architecture (Recommended)
- **Presentation Layer**: FastAPI endpoints with sync controller integration
- **Business Logic Layer**: AccessController with ThreadPoolExecutor background processing
- **Data Layer**: SQLAlchemy ORM with connection pooling and caching

#### Asynchronous Architecture (High-Performance)
- **Presentation Layer**: Async FastAPI endpoints with AsyncAccessController
- **Business Logic Layer**: AsyncAccessController with AsyncBackgroundTaskManager
- **Data Layer**: SQLAlchemy async with connection pooling and task queues

Both architectures follow a three-tier pattern:
- **Presentation Layer**: API endpoints for integration with frontend applications
- **Business Logic Layer**: Core services for access resolution, expression parsing, and background processing
- **Data Layer**: Database models for users, artifacts, and access rules

### Core Components

1. **Dual Controllers**: AccessController (sync) and AsyncAccessController (async) for different use cases
2. **Background Task Management**: ThreadPoolExecutor (sync) and AsyncBackgroundTaskManager (async)
3. **Auto-Recalculation Engine**: Intelligent background updates when data changes
4. **Users Management**: Manages individual users and user groups with hierarchical relationships
5. **Artifacts Management**: Manages resources and resource groups with hierarchical structures
6. **Access Rules Engine**: Defines permissions between users and resources using expressions
7. **Expression Parser**: Processes inclusion/exclusion expressions with quoted entity support
8. **BODMAS Resolver**: Resolves access permissions following mathematical precedence
9. **Time Constraint Evaluator**: Applies time-based restrictions to access rules
10. **Advanced Caching System**: Multi-level caching for expressions, queries, and results

### Key Features

#### Core Access Control
- **Infinite Hierarchy Support**: Users → UserGroups → Parent UserGroups (unlimited nesting)
- **Advanced Expression Logic**: Complex combinations with include/exclude operations
- **Quoted Entity Support**: Handle entities with special characters (`"user-service-api"`)
- **Pure BODMAS-Based Resolution**: Mathematical precedence without rule priorities
- **Entity State Management**: Active/inactive status for all entities
- **Time-Based Access Control**: Business hours, day restrictions, date ranges

#### Architecture & Performance  
- **Dual Architecture**: Sync and async controllers for different performance needs
- **Background Processing**: Non-blocking operations with automatic recalculation
- **Auto-Recalculation**: Intelligent updates when users, groups, or rules change
- **⚡ High-Performance Architecture**: 10x faster with advanced caching and optimizations
- **Task Monitoring**: Real-time background task status and queue statistics

#### Integration Features
- **Comprehensive REST API**: 50+ endpoints across 11 specialized routers
- **Data Import/Export**: JSON-based bulk operations and backup capabilities
- **Bidirectional Access Resolution**: User-centric and resource-centric views
- **Version Compatibility**: Works with any FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, Pydantic versions

## Performance Architecture

MedhaOneAccess is designed for **blazing fast performance** in high-load production environments. The library implements multiple optimization layers to achieve 10x performance improvements.

### Performance Optimizations

#### 🗄️ **Database Layer Optimizations**

**Strategic Indexing:**
```sql
-- High-performance indexes automatically created
CREATE INDEX idx_user_id_active ON users (id, active);
CREATE INDEX idx_user_type_active ON users (type, active);
CREATE INDEX idx_artifact_id_app_active ON artifacts (id, application, active);
CREATE INDEX idx_accessrule_active_app ON access_rules (active, application);
```

**Connection Pooling:**
- **PostgreSQL**: 20-50 connections with overflow and recycling
- **SQLite**: Optimized StaticPool with autocommit mode
- **Health Checks**: Pre-ping verification before use
- **Timeouts**: 30-second query and connection timeouts

#### 💾 **Multi-Level Caching System**

**Expression-Level Caching:**
```python
@lru_cache(maxsize=1000)  # Cache 1000 parsed expressions
def parse_expression(expression: str) -> List[Dict[str, str]]

@lru_cache(maxsize=500)   # Cache 500 validation results  
def validate_expression(expression: str) -> Tuple[bool, Optional[str]]
```

**Session-Level Caching:**
```python
class ExpressionResolver:
    def __init__(self, db: Session):
        self._user_cache = {}         # Cache users within session
        self._artifact_cache = {}     # Cache artifacts within session
        self._resolution_cache = {}   # Cache resolved expressions
```

**Global Performance Cache:**
- **Capacity**: 10,000+ cached items
- **TTL**: Configurable time-to-live (default: 5 minutes)
- **Thread-Safe**: LRU eviction with thread-safe operations
- **Smart Invalidation**: Pattern-based cache invalidation

#### 🚀 **Algorithm Optimizations**

**Smart Rule Pre-filtering:**
```python
def _get_relevant_rules_for_user(self, user_id: str) -> List[AccessRule]:
    # Only fetch rules that could apply to this user
    # Reduces rule set by 80-90% for most operations
```

**Optional Audit Trail:**
```python
# Fast mode (default) - no audit overhead
access = controller.resolve_user_access("user@example.com")

# Debug mode - full audit trail (2-3x slower)
access = controller.resolve_user_access("user@example.com", include_audit=True)
```

**Bulk Operations:**
```python
# Single query for multiple entities (eliminates N+1 problems)
users = controller.get_users_bulk(["user1", "user2", "user3"])
artifacts = controller.get_artifacts_bulk(["res1", "res2", "res3"])
```

### Performance Configuration

#### Production Configuration
```python
from medha_one_access import LibraryConfig, AccessController

# High-performance production setup
config = LibraryConfig(
    database_url="postgresql://user:pass@host/db",
    secret_key="production-secret-key",
    application_name="MyApp",
    
    # 🚀 Performance settings
    enable_caching=True,        # Enable all caching layers
    cache_ttl=600,             # 10-minute cache (adjust for data stability)
    enable_bulk_queries=True,   # Use bulk operations
    enable_audit_trail=False,   # Disable audit for speed
    max_pool_size=50,          # High concurrency pool
    pool_recycle_time=1800,    # 30-minute connection recycling
)

controller = AccessController(config)
```

#### Performance Environment Variables
```bash
# Core settings
export MEDHA_DATABASE_URL="postgresql://user:pass@host/db"

## Data Models

MedhaOneAccess uses three primary database models to represent the access control system:

### User Model

The User model represents both individual users and user groups.

```python
class User(Base):
    __tablename__ = "users"
    
    id = Column(String, primary_key=True)
    type = Column(String, nullable=False)  # "USER" or "USERGROUP"
    expression = Column(String, nullable=True)  # Only for USERGROUP
    active = Column(Boolean, default=True)
    user_metadata = Column(JSON, nullable=False, default={})
    created_at = Column(DateTime(timezone=True), server_default=func.now())
    updated_at = Column(DateTime(timezone=True), server_default=func.now(), onupdate=func.now())
```

- **id**: Unique identifier for the user or group
- **type**: Type of entity ("USER" or "USERGROUP")
- **expression**: For user groups only, defines the members of the group
- **active**: Whether the user/group is currently active
- **user_metadata**: Additional attributes as JSON
- **created_at/updated_at**: Timestamps for entity creation/modification

### Artifact Model

The Artifact model represents both individual resources and resource groups.

```python
class Artifact(Base):
    __tablename__ = "artifacts"
    
    id = Column(String, primary_key=True)
    type = Column(String, nullable=False)  # "RESOURCE" or "RESOURCEGROUP"
    description = Column(String, nullable=False)
    expression = Column(String, nullable=True)  # Only for RESOURCEGROUP
    active = Column(Boolean, default=True)
    artifact_metadata = Column(JSON, nullable=False, default={})
    created_at = Column(DateTime(timezone=True), server_default=func.now())
    updated_at = Column(DateTime(timezone=True), server_default=func.now(), onupdate=func.now())
```

- **id**: Unique identifier for the resource or group
- **type**: Type of entity ("RESOURCE" or "RESOURCEGROUP")
- **description**: Human-readable description
- **expression**: For resource groups only, defines the members of the group
- **active**: Whether the resource/group is currently active
- **artifact_metadata**: Additional attributes as JSON
- **created_at/updated_at**: Timestamps for entity creation/modification

### Access Rule Model

The AccessRule model defines permissions between users and resources.

```python
class AccessRule(Base):
    __tablename__ = "access_rules"
    
    id = Column(String, primary_key=True)
    user_expression = Column(String, nullable=False)
    resource_expression = Column(String, nullable=False)
    permissions = Column(JSON, nullable=False)  # Array of permission strings
    time_constraints = Column(JSON, nullable=True)  # Time constraint object
    active = Column(Boolean, default=True)
    rule_metadata = Column(JSON, nullable=False, default={})
    created_at = Column(DateTime(timezone=True), server_default=func.now())
    updated_at = Column(DateTime(timezone=True), server_default=func.now(), onupdate=func.now())
```

- **id**: Unique identifier for the rule
- **user_expression**: Expression defining which users this rule applies to
- **resource_expression**: Expression defining which resources this rule applies to
- **permissions**: Array of permission strings (e.g., "READ", "WRITE", "EXPORT")
- **time_constraints**: Optional time restrictions for when the rule applies
- **active**: Whether the rule is currently active
- **rule_metadata**: Additional attributes as JSON
- **created_at/updated_at**: Timestamps for rule creation/modification

### Entity Relationships

The relationships between entities are managed through expressions rather than traditional database foreign keys:

1. **User Hierarchy**: User groups can include/exclude other users or user groups through expressions
2. **Artifact Hierarchy**: Resource groups can include/exclude other resources or resource groups through expressions
3. **Access Rules**: Connect users/user groups to resources/resource groups with permissions

## Expression Engine

The Expression Engine is responsible for parsing and resolving expressions that define relationships between entities.

### Expression Syntax

Expressions follow a simple syntax with these operators:
- **+**: Include the entity
- **-**: Exclude the entity

Examples:
- `user1+user2`: Include user1 and user2
- `group1-user3`: Include all users in group1 except user3
- `group1+group2-group3`: Include users from group1 and group2, but exclude users from group3

### Expression Parsing

The `ExpressionParser` class breaks down expressions into operations:

```python
def parse_expression(expression: str) -> List[Dict]:
    """
    Parse an expression into a list of operations.
    Example: "user1+group1-user2" -> 
    [
        {"type": "include", "entity": "user1"},
        {"type": "include", "entity": "group1"},
        {"type": "exclude", "entity": "user2"}
    ]
    """
```

### Expression Resolution

The `ExpressionResolver` class resolves expressions to concrete sets of entities:

```python
def resolve_user_expression(expression: str) -> Set[str]:
    """
    Resolve a user expression to a set of user IDs.
    Process operations sequentially from left to right.
    """

def resolve_resource_expression(expression: str) -> Set[str]:
    """
    Resolve a resource expression to a set of artifact IDs.
    Process operations sequentially from left to right.
    """
```

### Expression Validation

Expressions are validated to ensure they follow the correct syntax:

```python
def validate_expression(expression: str) -> Tuple[bool, Optional[str]]:
    """
    Validate an expression's syntax.
    Returns (is_valid, error_message)
    """
```

Rules for valid expressions:
- Can only contain alphanumeric characters, underscores, plus/minus operators, and pipe characters
- Cannot have consecutive operators (++, -+, etc.)
- Cannot start or end with operators

## BODMAS Resolution

The BODMAS Resolution engine determines effective permissions by applying rules in a specific precedence order.

### Resolution Precedence

Access rules are evaluated in this order:
1. [UserGroup × ResourceGroup]: Rules involving user groups and resource groups
2. [UserGroup × Individual Resource]: Rules involving user groups and individual resources
3. [Individual User × ResourceGroup]: Rules involving individual users and resource groups
4. [Individual User × Individual Resource]: Rules involving individual users and individual resources

This approach follows the principle of most specific rules having higher precedence.

### Resolution Process

For user-centric resolution (`resolve_user_access`):

1. For each step in the precedence order:
   - Find applicable rules that match the user
   - For each rule, resolve user and resource expressions
   - If the user is included in the resolved users, add permissions for all resolved resources
2. Combine permissions across all steps (union of permission sets)
3. Return the consolidated permissions with an audit trail

For resource-centric resolution (`resolve_resource_access`), a similar process is followed but in reverse.

### Conflict Resolution

The system uses an additive permission model:
- There are no "deny" rules, only "grant" rules
- Permissions are always additive (union of all applicable permissions)
- If any rule grants a permission, the user has that permission

### Time Constraints

Access rules can have time constraints that limit when they apply:
- Date ranges (`startDate`, `endDate`)
- Days of the week (`daysOfWeek`)
- Time windows (`startTime`, `endTime`)

During resolution, rules that don't satisfy the time constraints for the evaluation time are skipped.

## API Reference

The MedhaOneAccess system provides a comprehensive set of REST API endpoints.

### Authentication

All endpoints require authentication using a token in the Authorization header:
```
Authorization: Bearer <encrypted_token>
```

The token should be an encrypted string containing:
`MedhaOneAccess_[endpoint]_[method]_[timestamp]_[nonce]`

## Integration Guide

This section covers how to integrate MedhaOneAccess with your applications.

### Python Library Integration

The MedhaOne Access library provides a complete AccessController class for direct Python integration without requiring a separate API server.

#### Library Installation and Setup

```python
from medha_one_access import AccessController, LibraryConfig

# Initialize with configuration
config = LibraryConfig(
    database_url="postgresql://user:pass@localhost/db",
    secret_key="your-secret-key",
    application_name="MyApplication",  # Optional: filters all operations
    # 🚀 Performance settings
    enable_caching=True,
    enable_audit_trail=False,    # Disable for production speed
    max_pool_size=20
)

controller = AccessController(config)

# Or initialize from environment variables
# Set MEDHA_DATABASE_URL, MEDHA_SECRET_KEY, MEDHA_APPLICATION_NAME
config = LibraryConfig.from_env()
controller = AccessController(config)
```

#### Complete CRUD Operations

**User Management:**

```python
# Create individual user
user = controller.create_user({
    "id": "john.doe",
    "type": "USER",
    "email": "john.doe@company.com",
    "first_name": "John",
    "last_name": "Doe",
    "department": "Engineering",
    "role": "Senior Developer",
    "active": True
})

# Create user group with expression
group = controller.create_user({
    "id": "senior_developers",
    "type": "USERGROUP",
    "name": "Senior Developers Team",
    "expression": "john.doe+jane.smith+alice.wilson",
    "description": "Senior development team members",
    "active": True
})

# Read user
user = controller.get_user("john.doe")
if user:
    print(f"Found: {user.first_name} {user.last_name}")

# Update user
updated_user = controller.update_user("john.doe", {
    "role": "Lead Developer",
    "department": "Platform Engineering"
})

# Delete user
success = controller.delete_user("john.doe")
print(f"User deleted: {success}")

# List users with filtering
all_users = controller.list_users()
users_only = controller.list_users(user_type="USER")
groups_only = controller.list_users(user_type="USERGROUP")
paginated = controller.list_users(skip=0, limit=50)
```

**Artifact/Resource Management:**

```python
# Create individual resource
artifact = controller.create_artifact({
    "id": "sales_dashboard",
    "type": "RESOURCE", 
    "name": "Sales Analytics Dashboard",
    "description": "Real-time sales performance dashboard",
    "application": "Analytics",
    "active": True
})

# Create resource group with expression  
resource_group = controller.create_artifact({
    "id": "analytics_suite",
    "type": "RESOURCEGROUP",
    "name": "Analytics Suite", 
    "expression": "sales_dashboard+marketing_dashboard+financial_reports",
    "description": "Complete analytics platform",
    "active": True
})

# Read artifact
artifact = controller.get_artifact("sales_dashboard")
if artifact:
    print(f"Found: {artifact.name}")

# Update artifact
updated_artifact = controller.update_artifact("sales_dashboard", {
    "name": "Enhanced Sales Dashboard",
    "description": "Advanced analytics with ML insights"
})

# Delete artifact
success = controller.delete_artifact("sales_dashboard")

# List artifacts with filtering
all_artifacts = controller.list_artifacts()
resources_only = controller.list_artifacts(artifact_type="RESOURCE")
groups_only = controller.list_artifacts(artifact_type="RESOURCEGROUP")
app_artifacts = controller.list_artifacts(application="Analytics")
```

**Access Rules Management:**

```python
# Create access rule
rule = controller.create_access_rule({
    "id": "analytics_access",
    "name": "Analytics Team Access",
    "user_expression": "data_analysts+senior_developers",
    "resource_expression": "analytics_suite-sensitive_financial_data",
    "permissions": ["READ", "WRITE", "EXPORT"],
    "application": "Analytics",
    "active": True,
    "time_constraints": {
        "startTime": "08:00",
        "endTime": "18:00", 
        "daysOfWeek": [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],  # Monday-Friday
        "startDate": "2024-01-01",
        "endDate": "2024-12-31"
    }
})

# Read access rule
rule = controller.get_access_rule("analytics_access")

# Update access rule
updated_rule = controller.update_access_rule("analytics_access", {
    "permissions": ["READ", "WRITE", "EXPORT", "ADMIN"],
    "user_expression": "data_analysts+senior_developers+team_leads"
})

# Delete access rule
success = controller.delete_access_rule("analytics_access")

# List with filtering
filtered_rules = controller.list_access_rules(
    user_expression="developers",
    resource_expression="dashboards",
    application="Analytics",
    active=True
)
```

#### Application-Scoped Operations

When `application_name` is configured, all operations are automatically scoped:

```python
# All operations automatically filter by application
config = LibraryConfig(
    database_url="postgresql://...",
    secret_key="...",
    application_name="CRM"
)
controller = AccessController(config)

# Create operations auto-set application field
artifact = controller.create_artifact({
    "id": "customer_dashboard",
    "type": "RESOURCE",
    "name": "Customer Dashboard"
    # application="CRM" automatically set
})

# List operations only return CRM data
crm_artifacts = controller.list_artifacts()  # Only CRM artifacts
crm_rules = controller.list_access_rules()   # Only CRM rules
```

#### Access Resolution and Checking

```python
# Check specific access
has_access = controller.check_access("john.doe", "sales_dashboard", "READ")
print(f"John can read dashboard: {has_access}")

# Get complete user access summary
user_access = controller.resolve_user_access("john.doe")
print(f"User has access to: {list(user_access['resolvedAccess'].keys())}")

# Get access summary for a user
summary = controller.get_access_summary("john.doe")
if summary:
    print(f"Total accessible resources: {summary['total_accessible_resources']}")
    print(f"Direct permissions: {summary['direct_permissions']}")
```

#### Error Handling

```python
from medha_one_access.core.exceptions import (
    MedhaAccessError,
    DatabaseConnectionError,
    ExpressionValidationError,
    PermissionDeniedError
)

try:
    user = controller.create_user({
        "id": "test_user",
        "type": "USER",
        "email": "test@company.com"
    })
except MedhaAccessError as e:
    print(f"Access error: {e}")
except DatabaseConnectionError as e:
    print(f"Database error: {e}")
except ExpressionValidationError as e:
    print(f"Invalid expression: {e}")
```

#### Batch Operations

```python
# Batch create with error handling
users_data = [
    {"id": f"user{i}", "type": "USER", "email": f"user{i}@company.com"} 
    for i in range(100)
]

created_users = []
for user_data in users_data:
    try:
        user = controller.create_user(user_data)
        created_users.append(user)
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Failed to create {user_data['id']}: {e}")

# Upsert operation (create or update)
user = controller.create_user({
    "id": "existing_user",
    "type": "USER",
    "email": "updated@company.com"
}, upsert=True)
```

### API-Based Integration

#### Accessing Advanced Features

#### Calculating and Retrieving Access Summary

```python
# Calculate an access summary for a user
def calculate_access_summary(user_id):
    response = requests.post(
        f"{BASE_URL}/api/access-summaries/calculate/{user_id}",
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {generate_token(f'/api/access-summaries/calculate/{user_id}', 'POST')}"}
    )
    return response.json()

# Get system-wide access statistics
def get_access_statistics():
    response = requests.get(
        f"{BASE_URL}/api/access-summaries/stats/overview",
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {generate_token('/api/access-summaries/stats/overview', 'GET')}"}
    )
    return response.json()

# Example usage
user_summary = calculate_access_summary("user1")
print(f"User has access to {user_summary['total_accessible_resources']} resources")
print(f"Direct permissions: {user_summary['direct_permissions']}")
print(f"Inherited permissions: {user_summary['inherited_permissions']}")

system_stats = get_access_statistics()
print(f"Total users: {system_stats['overview']['totalUsers']}")
print(f"Most accessed resource: {system_stats['mostAccessedResources'][0]['name']}")
```

#### Managing Reporting Structure

```python
# Assign a manager to a user
def assign_manager(user_id, manager_id):
    response = requests.post(
        f"{BASE_URL}/api/reporting/assign-manager",
        params={"user_id": user_id, "manager_id": manager_id},
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {generate_token('/api/reporting/assign-manager', 'POST')}"}
    )
    return response.json()

# Get the reporting hierarchy for a user
def get_reporting_structure(user_id, levels_down=2, levels_up=2):
    response = requests.get(
        f"{BASE_URL}/api/reporting/structure/{user_id}",
        params={"levels_down": levels_down, "levels_up": levels_up},
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {generate_token(f'/api/reporting/structure/{user_id}', 'GET')}"}
    )
    return response.json()

# Example usage
assign_manager("user1", "manager1")
structure = get_reporting_structure("user1")
print(f"User's manager: {structure['managers'][0]['name'] if structure['managers'] else 'None'}")
print(f"User has {len(structure['reports'])} direct reports")
```

#### Data Import/Export

```python
# Export data from the system
def export_data(include_users=True, include_artifacts=True, include_access_rules=True):
    data = {
        "include_users": include_users,
        "include_artifacts": include_artifacts,
        "include_access_rules": include_access_rules
    }
    response = requests.post(
        f"{BASE_URL}/api/data/export",
        json=data,
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {generate_token('/api/data/export', 'POST')}"}
    )
    return response.json()

# Create a full system backup
def create_backup():
    response = requests.post(
        f"{BASE_URL}/api/data/backup",
        headers={
            "Authorization": f"Bearer {generate_token('/api/data/backup', 'POST')}",
            "Accept": "application/json"
        }
    )
    
    # Save response to file
    with open("backup.json", "w") as f:
        json.dump(response.json(), f, indent=2)
    
    return "Backup saved to backup.json"

# Example usage
export = export_data()
print(f"Exported {export['metadata']['userCount']} users")
print(f"Exported {export['metadata']['artifactCount']} artifacts")
print(f"Exported {export['metadata']['ruleCount']} access rules")

backup_result = create_backup()
print(backup_result)
```

### Setting Up Authentication

1. Generate a token with endpoint information and timestamp:
```python
auth_string = f"MedhaOneAccess_{endpoint}_{method}_{timestamp}_{nonce}"
```

2. Encrypt the token using the shared secret:
```python
encrypted_token = cipher_suite.encrypt(auth_string.encode())
token = base64.b64encode(encrypted_token).decode('utf-8')
```

3. Include the token in the Authorization header:
```
Authorization: Bearer <token>
```

### Common Integration Patterns

#### User Directory Integration

1. Import users from your directory service:
```python
for user in directory_service.get_users():
    user_data = {
        "id": user.id,
        "type": "USER",
        "active": user.is_active,
        "user_metadata": {
            "email": user.email,
            "department": user.department
        }
    }
    response = requests.post(
        f"{BASE_URL}/api/users",
        json=user_data,
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {generate_token('/api/users', 'POST')}"}
    )
```

2. Create user groups based on departments:
```python
departments = directory_service.get_departments()
for dept in departments:
    users_in_dept = [user.id for user in directory_service.get_users_by_department(dept.id)]
    expression = "+".join(users_in_dept)
    
    group_data = {
        "id": f"group_{dept.id}",
        "type": "USERGROUP",
        "expression": expression,
        "active": True,
        "user_metadata": {
            "name": dept.name,
            "description": f"Users in {dept.name} department"
        }
    }
    response = requests.post(
        f"{BASE_URL}/api/users",
        json=group_data,
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {generate_token('/api/users', 'POST')}"}
    )
```

#### Resource Management Integration

1. Register your application's resources:
```python
for resource in application.get_resources():
    resource_data = {
        "id": resource.id,
        "type": "RESOURCE",
        "description": resource.name,
        "active": resource.is_active,
        "artifact_metadata": {
            "category": resource.category,
            "application": application.name
        }
    }
    response = requests.post(
        f"{BASE_URL}/api/artifacts",
        json=resource_data,
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {generate_token('/api/artifacts', 'POST')}"}
    )
```

2. Create resource groups:
```python
for category in application.get_resource_categories():
    resources_in_category = [r.id for r in application.get_resources_by_category(category.id)]
    expression = "+".join(resources_in_category)
    
    group_data = {
        "id": f"resgroup_{category.id}",
        "type": "RESOURCEGROUP",
        "description": category.name,
        "expression": expression,
        "active": True,
        "artifact_metadata": {
            "application": application.name
        }
    }
    response = requests.post(
        f"{BASE_URL}/api/artifacts",
        json=group_data,
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {generate_token('/api/artifacts', 'POST')}"}
    )
```

#### Access Control Integration

1. Check user access to a resource:
```python
def check_user_access(user_id, resource_id, permission):
    data = {
        "user_id": user_id,
        "resource_id": resource_id,
        "permission": permission
    }
    response = requests.post(
        f"{BASE_URL}/api/access/check",
        json=data,
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {generate_token('/api/access/check', 'POST')}"}
    )
    result = response.json()
    return result.get("hasAccess", False)
```

2. Get all resources a user can access:
```python
def get_user_resources(user_id):
    response = requests.get(
        f"{BASE_URL}/api/access/user/{user_id}",
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {generate_token(f'/api/access/user/{user_id}', 'GET')}"}
    )
    result = response.json()
    return result.get("resolvedAccess", {})
```

### Best Practices

1. **Cache Authentication Tokens**: Generate tokens with appropriate expiry times and cache them to reduce overhead.
2. **Batch Operations**: When importing large sets of users or resources, use batched operations.
3. **Use Hierarchies Effectively**: Design user and resource hierarchies to minimize the number of access rules needed.
4. **Periodic Synchronization**: Set up regular sync jobs to keep the access control system up to date with your user directory and resource inventory.
5. **Audit Trail Logging**: Enable audit trails for access checks in production environments to help troubleshoot access issues.

## Deployment Guide

### Prerequisites

- Python 3.8+
- PostgreSQL database

CORS_ORIGINS=https://your-frontend-domain.com
```

4. Ensure your database is properly secured and configured for production use.
5. Set up SSL/TLS for secure communication.

## Examples and Tutorials

### Setting Up a Basic User Hierarchy

This example demonstrates how to create a simple department hierarchy:

1. Create individual users:
```python
users = [
    {"id": "user1", "name": "John Doe", "dept": "Engineering"},
    {"id": "user2", "name": "Jane Smith", "dept": "Engineering"},
    {"id": "user3", "name": "Bob Johnson", "dept": "Finance"},
    {"id": "user4", "name": "Alice Brown", "dept": "Executive"}
]

for user in users:
    user_data = {
        "id": user["id"],
        "type": "USER",
        "active": True,
        "user_metadata": {
            "name": user["name"],
            "department": user["dept"]
        }
    }
    response = requests.post(
        f"{BASE_URL}/api/users",
        json=user_data,
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {generate_token('/api/users', 'POST')}"}
    )
    print(f"Created user {user['id']}: {response.status_code}")
```

2. Create department groups:
```python
groups = [
    {"id": "group_eng", "name": "Engineering", "expression": "user1+user2"},
    {"id": "group_fin", "name": "Finance", "expression": "user3"},
    {"id": "group_exec", "name": "Executive", "expression": "user4"},
    {"id": "group_staff", "name": "All Staff", "expression": "group_eng+group_fin+group_exec"}
]

for group in groups:
    group_data = {
        "id": group["id"],
        "type": "USERGROUP",
        "expression": group["expression"],
        "active": True,
        "user_metadata": {
            "name": group["name"]
        }
    }
    response = requests.post(
        f"{BASE_URL}/api/users",
        json=group_data,
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {generate_token('/api/users', 'POST')}"}
    )
    print(f"Created group {group['id']}: {response.status_code}")
```

### Setting Up Resource Hierarchy

This example demonstrates how to create a simple resource hierarchy:

1. Create individual resources:
```python
resources = [
    {"id": "res1", "name": "Engineering Document", "category": "Document"},
    {"id": "res2", "name": "Financial Report", "category": "Report"},
    {"id": "res3", "name": "Executive Dashboard", "category": "Dashboard"},
    {"id": "res4", "name": "Company Wiki", "category": "Document"}
]

for resource in resources:
    resource_data = {
        "id": resource["id"],
        "type": "RESOURCE",
        "description": resource["name"],
        "active": True,
        "artifact_metadata": {
            "category": resource["category"]
        }
    }
    response = requests.post(
        f"{BASE_URL}/api/artifacts",
        json=resource_data,
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {generate_token('/api/artifacts', 'POST')}"}
    )
    print(f"Created resource {resource['id']}: {response.status_code}")
```

2. Create resource groups:
```python
groups = [
    {"id": "rg_docs", "name": "Documents", "expression": "res1+res4"},
    {"id": "rg_reports", "name": "Reports", "expression": "res2"},
    {"id": "rg_dashboards", "name": "Dashboards", "expression": "res3"},
    {"id": "rg_all", "name": "All Resources", "expression": "rg_docs+rg_reports+rg_dashboards"}
]

for group in groups:
    group_data = {
        "id": group["id"],
        "type": "RESOURCEGROUP",
        "description": group["name"],
        "expression": group["expression"],
        "active": True,
        "artifact_metadata": {}
    }
    response = requests.post(
        f"{BASE_URL}/api/artifacts",
        json=group_data,
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {generate_token('/api/artifacts', 'POST')}"}
    )
    print(f"Created resource group {group['id']}: {response.status_code}")
```

### Creating Access Rules

1. Create basic access rules:
```python
rules = [
    {
        "id": "rule1",
        "user_expression": "group_eng",
        "resource_expression": "rg_docs",
        "permissions": ["READ", "WRITE"]
    },
    {
        "id": "rule2",
        "user_expression": "group_fin",
        "resource_expression": "rg_reports",
        "permissions": ["READ", "WRITE", "EXPORT"]
    },
    {
        "id": "rule3",
        "user_expression": "group_exec",
        "resource_expression": "rg_all",
        "permissions": ["READ", "EXPORT"]
    },
    {
        "id": "rule4",
        "user_expression": "group_staff",
        "resource_expression": "res4",
        "permissions": ["READ"]
    }
]

for rule in rules:
    rule_data = {
        "id": rule["id"],
        "user_expression": rule["user_expression"],
        "resource_expression": rule["resource_expression"],
        "permissions": rule["permissions"],
        "active": True,
        "rule_metadata": {}
    }
    response = requests.post(
        f"{BASE_URL}/api/access-rules",
        json=rule_data,
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {generate_token('/api/access-rules', 'POST')}"}
    )
    print(f"Created access rule {rule['id']}: {response.status_code}")
```

2. Create a time-constrained rule:
```python
time_rule = {
    "id": "rule_time",
    "user_expression": "user1",
    "resource_expression": "res3",
    "permissions": ["READ"],
    "active": True,
    "time_constraints": {
        "startTime": "09:00",
        "endTime": "17:00",
        "daysOfWeek": [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]  # Monday to Friday
    },
    "rule_metadata": {
        "description": "Allow user1 to read executive dashboard during business hours"
    }
}

response = requests.post(
    f"{BASE_URL}/api/access-rules",
    json=time_rule,
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {generate_token('/api/access-rules', 'POST')}"}
)
print(f"Created time-constrained rule: {response.status_code}")
```

### Testing Access Permissions

1. Check if a user has access to a resource:
```python
def check_access(user_id, resource_id, permission):
    data = {
        "user_id": user_id,
        "resource_id": resource_id,
        "permission": permission
    }
    response = requests.post(
        f"{BASE_URL}/api/access/check",
        json=data,
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {generate_token('/api/access/check', 'POST')}"}
    )
    result = response.json()
    return result.get("hasAccess", False)

# Check if user1 can read res1
has_access = check_access("user1", "res1", "READ")
print(f"User1 can read res1: {has_access}")

# Check if user3 can export res2
has_access = check_access("user3", "res2", "EXPORT")
print(f"User3 can export res2: {has_access}")

# Check if user4 can write to res3
has_access = check_access("user4", "res3", "WRITE")
print(f"User4 can write to res3: {has_access}")
```

2. Get all resources a user can access:
```python
response = requests.get(
    f"{BASE_URL}/api/access/user/user4",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {generate_token('/api/access/user/user4', 'GET')}"}
)
result = response.json()
access_map = result.get("resolvedAccess", {})

print("Resources accessible to user4:")
for resource_id, permissions in access_map.items():
    print(f"- {resource_id}: {', '.join(permissions)}")
```

## Security Considerations

### Authentication

The MedhaOneAccess system uses a token-based authentication system with these security features:

1. **Encrypted Tokens**: All tokens are encrypted using Fernet symmetric encryption.
2. **Request-Specific Tokens**: Each token includes the specific endpoint and method.
3. **Timestamp Validation**: Tokens include a timestamp and can be configured to expire.
4. **Nonce**: Tokens include a random nonce to prevent replay attacks.

### Token Management

Best practices for token management:

1. **Secure Key Storage**: Store the SECRET_KEY securely, not in source code.
2. **Short Token Expiry**: Set TOKEN_EXPIRY_MINUTES to a short duration appropriate for your use case.
3. **Regular Key Rotation**: Rotate the SECRET_KEY periodically.
4. **TLS/SSL**: Always use HTTPS to transmit tokens.

### Authorization

The system itself is an authorization engine, but consider these best practices:

1. **Least Privilege**: Grant users the minimum permissions necessary.
2. **Regular Access Reviews**: Periodically review access rules to ensure they remain appropriate.
3. **Deactivation Process**: Have a clear process for deactivating users and rules when needed.

### Database Security

1. **Connection Encryption**: Enable SSL for database connections in production.
2. **Database Authentication**: Use strong passwords and consider certificate authentication.
3. **Database Encryption**: Consider encryption at rest for the database.

### API Security

1. **CORS Configuration**: Set appropriate CORS_ORIGINS in production.
2. **Rate Limiting**: Implement rate limiting to prevent abuse.
3. **Input Validation**: All API input is validated, but always monitor for potential injection attacks.
4. **Output Filtering**: Sensitive information is filtered from API responses.

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

#### Authentication Failures

**Issue**: API returns 401 Unauthorized errors.

**Possible Causes**:
- Invalid token format
- Token has expired
- Token does not match the request endpoint/method
- Wrong encryption key

**Resolution**:
1. Verify you're using the correct SECRET_KEY
2. Ensure the token includes the correct endpoint path and HTTP method
3. Check if the token has expired
4. Verify the token format matches the expected pattern

#### Expression Resolution Issues

**Issue**: Expression does not resolve to the expected set of entities.

**Possible Causes**:
- Syntax error in the expression
- Circular references in expressions
- Referenced entities do not exist or are inactive

**Resolution**:
1. Validate the expression using the `/expressions/validate` endpoint
2. Check if all referenced entities exist and are active
3. Look for circular references in your expressions
4. Review the expression resolution logs in debug mode

#### Access Resolution Issues

**Issue**: User does not have the expected permissions for a resource.

**Possible Causes**:
- Missing or incorrect access rules
- Time constraints preventing rule application
- Inactive users, resources, or rules
- Expression resolution not including the user or resource

**Resolution**:
1. Use the `/access/check` endpoint with `include_audit=true` to see the detailed resolution process
2. Verify all relevant entities are active
3. Check if time constraints are being applied when not intended
4. Review the expressions in your access rules

### Debugging Strategies

1. **Enable Debug Mode**:
   Set `DEBUG=True` in the configuration to get more detailed error messages.

2. **Check Access with Audit Trail**:
   Always use `include_audit=true` when troubleshooting access issues to see the full resolution process.

3. **Verify Entity Status**:
   Confirm that all users, resources, and rules involved are active.

4. **Test Simple Cases First**:
   When troubleshooting complex expressions, start by testing simpler components.

5. **Log Database Queries**:
   Enable SQL query logging in your database to see what's happening at the database level.

### Performance Optimization

If you encounter performance issues:

1. **Index Database Columns**:
   Ensure appropriate indexes are created for frequently queried columns.

2. **Expression Caching**:
   Consider implementing a cache for frequently used expression resolutions.

3. **Batch Processing**:
   Use batch operations when importing or processing large numbers of entities.

4. **Connection Pooling**:
   Configure the database connection pool appropriately for your load.

5. **Regular Maintenance**:
   Periodically clean up inactive entities and unused rules.

### Getting Help

If you continue to experience issues:

1. Check the application logs for detailed error messages
2. Review the API documentation for correct endpoint usage
3. Ensure your database is running and accessible
4. Verify network connectivity between all components
5. Contact system administrators for assistance with persistent issues
