Enhancements to AI Settings and Post Generation Access Control

Overview

This update focuses on refining access control for AI settings and improving the Post Generator navigation within the application. Key changes include restricting access to AI configuration settings to superadmin users only and reordering the Post Generator in the navigation menu for improved user experience.

AI Settings Access Control

To enhance security and prevent unauthorized modification of AI configurations, access to the AI Settings page has been restricted to superadmin users. This ensures that only authorized personnel can modify sensitive settings related to AI models and providers.

    public static function canAccess(): bool
    {
        return (bool) auth()->user()?->isSuperAdmin();
    }

This canAccess() method is now implemented in the AiSettings page, effectively limiting access based on the user's superadmin status. Tests have been updated to reflect this change, ensuring that non-superadmin users are denied access.

    #[Test]
    public function non_superadmin_cannot_access_ai_settings(): void
    {
        // Test logic to verify access denial for non-superadmin users
    }

Post Generator Navigation

The Post Generator's position in the navigation menu has been adjusted to improve discoverability and user flow. The navigation sort order has been changed from 0 to -1, promoting it to a higher position in the menu.

    protected static ?int $navigationSort = -1;

AI Model Selection Control

For non-superadmin users, the AI model selection feature within the Post Generator has been disabled. This change aligns with the access control strategy, ensuring that only authorized users can modify AI-related configurations.

    ->disabled(fn (): bool => ! auth()->user()?->isSuperAdmin()),

This code snippet demonstrates how the AI model selection dropdown is disabled for users who do not have superadmin privileges.

Testing and Validation

Comprehensive tests have been added and updated to validate the new access control mechanisms. These tests ensure that:

  • Superadmin users can access and modify AI settings.
  • Non-superadmin users are denied access to AI settings.
  • AI model selection is disabled for non-superadmin users in PostGenerator

Conclusion

These changes enhance the security and usability of the application by restricting access to sensitive AI settings and improving the navigation experience for the Post Generator. By implementing these measures, the application ensures that only authorized personnel can modify AI configurations, maintaining the integrity and security of the system.
