Navigation Flow

This document maps the site navigation flow for each actor in the MMCA.ADC application. Each mermaid diagram shows the pages accessible to that actor and the directional navigation links between them.

Actors

Actor Access Level Identification
Anonymous Public conference pages only Not authenticated
Attendee Public + profile + feedback + bookmarks Authenticated, default Attendee role
Speaker Attendee + speaker dashboard Authenticated, account linked to a Speaker (speaker_id claim)
Organizer Full access: conference CRUD, user management, feedback analytics, session selection Authenticated, Organizer role

Roles & menu: Organizer is the only elevated role (default is Attendee). A Speaker is an attendee whose account is linked to a Speaker, surfaced via the speaker_id claim. The left nav is data-driven from each module's IUIModule.NavItems — items carry a required role (Organizer) or claim (speaker_id) and are hidden when the user lacks it. See Authorization Model at the end.

1. Anonymous User

Pages accessible without authentication: home, login, register, and all public conference pages.

5. Functionality Flows (Attendee & Speaker)

The diagrams in sections 1–4 map which pages each actor can reach. The diagrams below map how attendees and speakers accomplish each functionality, including inline actions — bookmarking, schedule filtering, dashboard editing — that are not separate pages. Pages appear as route nodes; edge labels are user actions. Flows in 5.3–5.5 require authentication.

Authentication Redirects

  • Unauthenticated users accessing protected pages are redirected to /login via the RedirectToLogin component.
  • Successful login/register redirects to Home (/) with a full page reload.
  • Logout (from NavMenu, MainLayout, or Profile) redirects to /login with a full page reload.

Authorization Model

  • Roles: Organizer is the only elevated role; every other authenticated user is an Attendee (the default). There is no separate "Admin" role.
  • Speaker: not a role — an attendee whose account is linked to a Speaker, surfaced as the speaker_id JWT claim (auto-linked by email match at registration, or linked manually by an organizer).
  • Menu-driven visibility: the left nav is built from each module's IUIModule.NavItems. Items declare a required role (Organizer) or claim (speaker_id); the menu hides what the current user can't use. Organizer items sit in the Admin nav section (most grouped under "Conference"); "My Profile" and the Speaker "Dashboard" sit in the User section.
  • Page guards (@attribute [Authorize…]):
    • Organizer role required: /sessions/selection-dashboard, /events/{Id}/feedback, /sessions/{SessionId}/feedback, and every conference/user management page (/events, /sessions, /speakers, /conferencecategories, /questions, /rooms, /users), each carrying a page-level [Authorize(Roles = "Organizer")] (e.g. EventList.razor, UserList.razor). The shared Routes.razor renders the Forbidden page for an authenticated non-Organizer; the inherited RegisteredUser_AdminPages_ShouldBeForbidden E2E fact pins this for all seven routes. API-side role enforcement applies as well (defense in depth).
    • Authentication only: /profile, /profile/claims, /speaker/dashboard, both attendee feedback forms, and /speakers/{Id} (SpeakerDetail is the one management page still gated by plain [Authorize] because linked speakers edit their own bio there; organizer-only actions on it are enforced API-side).
    • Public (no attribute): all /conference/* read pages.

CRUD Pattern (Organizer)

All admin entity management follows the same navigation pattern:

List ──row click──► Detail ──back──► List
           │                    ▲
           └──create──► Create ─┘ (on success)
                        │
                        └──back──► List
  • Event Detail links to Speaker Detail and Room Detail for associated entities.
  • Speaker Detail links to Session Detail for assigned sessions.
  • Session Selection Dashboard links to Speaker Detail and Session Detail for each analyzed speaker/session.

Public → Engagement Flow

  • Public Event Detail and Public Session Detail show a "Submit Feedback" button (visible to authenticated users only) that navigates to the corresponding feedback form.
  • Feedback forms navigate back to the originating public detail page on cancel.
