Assumptions & Dependencies
This section outlines critical assumptions made during the development of this module and its dependencies on other systems or modules.
Key Assumptions
- Unique Email: It is assumed that all user email addresses will be unique across the system. Attempts to register with an existing email will result in an error.
- Active Directory/SSO: For enterprise users, it is assumed that user authentication will eventually integrate with an existing Active Directory or Single Sign-On (SSO) solution. Initial implementation might use local authentication.
- Data Integrity: It is assumed that all incoming data will pass basic validation at the API gateway level before reaching the module.
External Dependencies
- Auth Service: This module depends on a central Authentication Service for JWT token validation and user session management.
