User Story

As a Coordinator
I want the app to verify my permissions before I execute sensitive actions such as bulk registrations or pause management
So that I am notified immediately if my permissions have changed (e.g., due to an admin action) rather than encountering a cryptic server error mid-flow

Acceptance Criteria

  • Given a coordinator attempts to initiate a bulk registration, When the permission checker determines their bulk registration permission is active, Then the action proceeds normally
  • Given a coordinator's bulk registration permission has been revoked by an admin since login, When the permission checker runs before the action, Then a clear error message is shown explaining the permission issue and no partial action is taken
  • Given the permission checker service is unavailable due to a network error, When a coordinator attempts a sensitive action, Then the app displays a retry prompt rather than proceeding without verification
  • Given a coordinator's permission check passes, When they complete the sensitive action, Then no additional permission re-check is required for subsequent steps within the same flow

Business Value

Organizations rely on coordinators performing bulk operations correctly. A stale permission state causing a mid-flow failure—especially during multi-step proxy registration—results in data integrity issues and coordinator frustration. Proactive permission checks before destructive operations align with the organizations' requirements for reliable, trustworthy tooling.
