Alejandro Mercado developed foundational role-based access control for the uprm-inso4101-2025-2026-s1/semester-project-esports_organizer repository, focusing on backend security and maintainability. He implemented user role assignment and runtime permission validation, persisting RBAC data in Firestore to enable scalable, centralized access control. Using JavaScript and Firebase, Alejandro designed assignUserRole and checkUserPermission functions to manage and verify user permissions directly within the database. This work strengthened the platform’s security posture by reducing the risk of unauthorized actions and established a maintainable framework for future permission scopes, though the scope was limited to a single feature over the one-month period.
