Frontend developer new to appwrite help me setting up users role based auth?

I'm trying to create a bugtracker app with reactjs as frontend and appwrite as backend. I will be using rest api endpoints instead of javascript sdk.

My requirements are : My App supports four different user roles QA, DEV, ADMIN, PM. Each user based on his roles has certain elevated privileges.

What is the right approach in creating user sign-ups which has role based authentication and authorisation. I'm thinking of using jwt ?

Please help me with this I'm new to appwrite and backend. I tried reading documentation?

I'm curious... Why won't you be using our web sdk?

Appwrite uses teams as a way to group users so you can use that. https://appwrite.io/docs/client/teams.

FYI, Appwrite primarily uses cookies to maintain sessions rather than JWT tokens

Not using the web SDK is a personal preference. To define user roles, one approach could be to create separate teams for each role and assign users to a particular team during registration, while noting that the response object for the "Get User" endpoint "/v1/users/{userId}" does not include any property indicating the user's role and hence it is unclear how to retrieve the user's role post-login

Can you explain more on why it's your preference to not use the SDK?

The list teams API will tell you the teams you're in

the response object for the "Get User" endpoint "/v1/users/{userId}" does not include any property indicating the user's role and hence it is unclear how to retrieve the user's role post-login I would use the List Team Memberships endpoint post-login. Once the user has logged in and a session has been created, you can make a GET request to the /v1/teams/{teamId}/memberships endpoint. If the user is in the queried team, you'll get a Memberships List Object.

List Team Memberships: https://appwrite.io/docs/client/teams?sdk=rest-default#teamsListMemberships Memberships List Object: https://appwrite.io/docs/models/membershipList

I'm curious though - why are you not using the Web SDK? Any particular reason?
