🔗 Frontend Role Mapping:

Based on the frontend code, these string roles are expected:

But the database uses numeric role IDs. We need to create a mapping!


💡 Solution Options:

  1. Create a role mapping table to translate between numeric IDs and string names
  2. Update the frontend to use numeric role IDs instead of strings
  3. Update the backend to handle both numeric and string role checks

🚀 Recommended Approach:

Create a simple role mapping table and update the backend to handle both formats.

-- Create role mapping table
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS tbl_role_mapping (
  role_id INT PRIMARY KEY,
  role_name VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
  role_display_name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL
);

-- Insert common roles
INSERT INTO tbl_role_mapping (role_id, role_name, role_display_name) VALUES
  (1, 'SuperAdmin', 'Super Admin'),
  (2, 'Admin', 'Admin'),
  (3, 'Teacher', 'Teacher'),
  (4, 'Parent', 'Parent');
