A UK buyer can now create their own account at /portal/signup/. The screen
creates a Keycloak user through a least-privilege service account
(ixg-provisioning: manage-users, view-users) and the matching Django row as
a buyer, then sends them through the normal sign-in flow to the portal.
Staff status is derived from the role in the OIDC backend rather than
asserted, so a self-registered buyer is not staff and does not become staff
on a later sign-in. The platform root and the RBAC middleware now route
each role to its own portal, which also fixes a redirect loop that the
staff fix exposed for non-staff buyers.
Batch writes were closed in 88eede5, but every other app's viewset still used
IsAuthenticated, which in this platform means any buyer. A buyer could rewrite a
document record, create a QC result (which moves the batch status and raises a
CAPA), and reach the write endpoints for CAPAs, certificates, ESG reports and
shipments.
- Use the one IsOpsOrAdmin from apps.compliance.permissions; drop the duplicate
copy in apps/qc/views.py.
- Apply it to the whole viewset on shipments, qc, capa, esg, documents,
certificates-of-analysis and regulatory-certs. The buyer portal is
server-rendered through the ORM, so it needs none of these APIs.
- Keep the buyer chat working: AI interactions stay authenticated and scoped,
and agent reads stay open while agent writes become ops/admin.
- Close a buyer-to-admin escalation in the users API: writes are admin-only and
role/is_active are read-only, so a buyer can no longer PATCH their own row to
role=admin and then pass every IsOpsOrAdmin check.
