Closes #78. Part of PoliNetworkOrg/admin#143 (Phase 1 of PoliNetworkOrg/admin#146).

Needs a new review. The earlier approval predates #75 being merged into this branch. The branch has been reset to d698d3c, which drops #75 and the four commits after it (no preliminary people, no 0024_people_registration). The rework for #78 is one commit on top: ce030c5.

Why

The admin dashboard's People register gives people predetermined roles. It needs to read who holds them here, and to change them without becoming a way around this IdP's delegation rules. People without a login account live only in the backend. Auth never holds placeholder users.

What

• Binding a role to People. On a role's page (People register card) or with the MCP tool set_role_people_binding, a hand-made role is bound to one of:

  • admin;
  • capo (new: Capo Admins);
  • team:<key>:member or team:<key>:lead.

  The binding is stored in role.people_binding (migration 0023, with a check constraint).

  • Binding needs the new managed permission idp:people:bind. It always implies idp:roles:read. Master Admin holds it through the wildcard.
  • Binding is bounded like editing a role: only Master Admin can bind or unbind a role granting permissions they don't hold.
  • Managed roles can't be bound. Neither can roles carrying any idp:* permission, whether directly, through a parent or through an implication. Saving a role or permission that would give a bound role such a permission is refused.

• GET /api/internal/people-roles (backend client, idp:access:read): the bound roles and everyone holding them by hand or through a parent role. For each person: name, directory email, Telegram ID and username, roles, assigned, and since ({ roleKey: "YYYY-MM-DD" }, the earliest current assignment conferring each role).

  • Soci removed: there's no longer a list of every Microsoft 365 account, and no azureId.

• POST /api/internal/people-roles (backend client, internal scope idp:people:roles): one command, { id, actor, sub, reason, changes }, unchanged from the earlier version except that it adds capo. Each change is { kind: "admin" | "capo", active } or { kind: "team", team, role: "member" | "lead" | null }.

  • It's idempotent by id and applied all-or-nothing.
  • It answers 409 when the mapping is ambiguous, or when the requested state would still be held through another role (e.g. ending admin for someone who is still a Capo Admin).
  • Auth resolves the actor's access itself, and refuses unbound roles, self-grants, and bounded-delegation violations (unless Master Admin).

• Delegation as one rule per binding kind (PEOPLE_RULES in src/auth/people-binding.ts). Each rule applies to the role and to every bound role it inherits:

  Binding	Who may give or take it back
  admin	admin:access + people:write
  capo	admin:access + people:appoint (and, through inherited admin, people:write)
  team:<key>:member	admin:access + people:write, or the Lead of that team
  team:<key>:lead	admin:access + people:appoint

  "A Capo Admin may manage the admins under them" would be another way to be allowed in the admin rule; it isn't built. The command schema strips unknown fields, so an optional scope field can be added later without breaking older deployments.

Deploying

Deploy before the backend PR. Then follow #79 (also in the README under Deploying People roles):

1. Migrate (0023_role_people_binding). It also adds idp:people:bind.
2. Grant idp:people:bind if anyone besides Master Admin should configure People.
3. Bind admin → admin, capo-admin → capo, and the HR / Design / Intl / Events member and lead roles.
   • Leave trusted-admin unbound.
   • it-core and it-lead can't be bound because they carry idp:* permissions. The IT team needs its own plain team roles ([People · Phase 1] Configure People role bindings in the production IdP #79).
4. Grant idp:people:roles to the backend client.
5. Send one test command and check that the audit log shows via: people.

Migration numbering: main has 0022_idp_mcp, and this branch adds 0023. #68 also adds a 0022, so whichever PR merges second renumbers.

Testing

• vp check, vp test (357 passed), and vp run build with the server bundle check all pass.
• people-binding.test.ts:
  • capo parsing;
  • the Capo rule, plus people:write through inherited admin;
  • one rule per kind;
  • the invite-acceptance actor (assigner allowed, invitee refused);
  • Capo planning, including the 409 for ending admin while still a Capo Admin;
  • ambiguous admin when trusted-admin is also bound.
• people-roles.integration.test.ts against a freshly migrated PostgreSQL (PEOPLE_ROLES_TEST_DATABASE_URL), 7 passed. The earlier cases, plus:
  • an invite applied with the assigner as actor, and the invitee refused;
  • appointing a Capo Admin needs people:appoint;
  • the directory has no azureId, lists only holders, and reports since;
  • an idp:people:bind holder can bind a role within their permissions, and is refused beyond them. A user without the permission is refused.

Explanation

The title "feat(people)!: let People manage bound roles through the backend" matches the main change. The changeset adds People role bindings (role.people_binding, idp:people:bind), the /api/internal/people-roles GET and POST routes, and the set_role_people_binding MCP tool. The breaking-change marker (!) is consistent with the PR's new contract. The title is specific and concise, and it fits the PR objective, which is the same feature under a slightly different title.

⚠️ Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Require a non-blank reason.

The PR states that each change is audited with a reason. However, z.string().trim().max(500) accepts "" and whitespace-only input. A role change can then be audited with an empty reason. Add .min(1) after .trim() so the 400 path rejects a missing reason.

Based on learnings: an admin user-management API with an audit policy should require a non-blank "reason" field with a max length and validate it.

🛡️ Proposed fix

-  reason: z.string().trim().max(500),
+  reason: z.string().trim().min(1).max(500),

PoliNetworkOrg/backend#99 reads the People roles from GET /api/internal/people-roles on every operation instead of copying them, and #75 (into this branch) adds since per held role so the backend can show when a role started without storing it.

Don't merge this yet, even though it's approved. The approval came before #75 was merged into this branch, so merging now would also ship #75 without it having been reviewed on its own.

We set a direction for People in the roadmap PoliNetworkOrg/admin#146. For this PR, it means (details in #78):

1. Reset the branch to d698d3c. This drops feat(people): register people before login and expose role assignment dates #75 and the four commits after it (1d08a15, ce9dbc3, f48b750, b4360ef) and migration 0024. People without a linked account will live only in the backend, never as placeholder users in Auth.
2. Remove the Microsoft 365 account list and azureId from GET /api/internal/people-roles. Soci is no longer part of People.
3. Add a capo binding kind for Capo Admins. It needs people:appoint, like a Lead.
4. Replace the Master Admin check for binding a role with a managed permission (e.g. idp:people:bind), and use it in the MCP tool too.
5. Restructure the delegation rules as one rule per binding kind. We may later let Capo Admins manage the admins under them, and that should be a small change.
6. Check the migration numbering against main (0022_idp_mcp is already there; feat(rbac): support inherited permission overrides #68 also wants 0022).

The command contract (POST, idempotent, all-or-nothing, Auth checks the actor) stays as it is. The production steps are in #79. Note that it-core and it-lead can't be bound as the deploy notes above suggest, because they grant idp:* permissions.

When the rework is done, this needs a new review.
