PR Body
Implements Spec 065 “Tenant RBAC v1” with capabilities-first RBAC, tenant membership scoping (Option 3), and consistent Filament action semantics.

Key decisions / rules

Tenancy Option 3: tenant switching is tenantless (ChooseTenant), tenant-scoped routes stay scoped, non-members get 404 (not 403).
RBAC model: canonical capability registry + role→capability map + Gates for each capability (no role-string checks in UI logic).
UX policy: for tenant members lacking permission → actions are visible but disabled + tooltip (avoid click→403).
Security still enforced server-side.
What’s included

Capabilities foundation:
Central capability registry (Capabilities::*)
Role→capability mapping (RoleCapabilityMap)
Gate registration + resolver/manager updates to support tenant-scoped authorization
Filament enforcement hardening across the app:
Tenant registration & tenant CRUD properly gated
Backup/restore/policy flows aligned to “visible-but-disabled” where applicable
Provider operations (health check / inventory sync / compliance snapshot) guarded and normalized
Directory groups + inventory sync start surfaces normalized
Policy version maintenance actions (archive/restore/prune/force delete) gated
SpecKit artifacts for 065:
spec.md, plan/tasks updates, checklists, enforcement hitlist
Security guarantees

Non-member → 404 via tenant scoping/membership guards.
Member without capability → 403 on execution, even if UI is disabled.
No destructive actions execute without proper authorization checks.
Tests

Adds/updates Pest coverage for:
Tenant scoping & membership denial behavior
Role matrix expectations (owner/manager/operator/readonly)
Filament surface checks (visible/disabled actions, no side effects)
Provider/Inventory/Groups run-start authorization
Verified locally with targeted vendor/bin/sail artisan test --compact …
Deployment / ops notes

No new services required.
Safe change: behavior is authorization + UI semantics; no breaking route changes intended.

# Quickstart: Tenant RBAC v1
This guide provides a quick overview for developers on how to use the Tenant RBAC v1 system.
## Checking Permissions
The core of the RBAC system is a set of defined capabilities. To check if the currently authenticated user has a specific capability, use Laravel's `Gate` facade.
**NEVER check for roles directly.** Always check for capabilities.
### In PHP (Controllers, Policies, Livewire Components)
```php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Gate;
// Check for a specific capability
if (Gate::allows('tenant.members.manage')) {
// User can manage members
}
// You can also deny access
if (Gate::denies('tenant.settings.manage')) {
abort(403);
}
```
### In Blade Views
You can use the `@can` and `@cannot` directives in your Blade templates to conditionally show UI elements.
```blade
@can('tenant.members.manage')
<button>Add Member</button>
@endcan
@cannot('tenant.danger_zone')
<p>You are not authorized to access the danger zone.</p>
@endcannot
```
### In Filament Resources
Filament actions and pages can be protected using the `can` method.
```php
use Filament\Actions\Action;
use Filament\Resources\Pages\ListRecords;
// Protecting an action
Action::make('delete')
->requiresConfirmation()
->action(fn ($record) => $record->delete())
->visible(fn ($record) => Gate::allows('tenant.policies.delete', $record));
// Protecting a page
class ListMembers extends ListRecords
{
// ...
public static function canView(): bool
{
return Gate::allows('tenant.members.view');
}
}
```
## Capability Reference
A full list of available capabilities is defined in `specs/065-tenant-rbac-v1/contracts/capabilities.md`.
## Key Principles
1. **Capabilities, Not Roles**: All authorization checks MUST be against capabilities, not roles (`owner`, `manager`, etc.). This decouples the application's logic from the role definitions.
2. **Server-Side Enforcement**: UI hiding is not security. Always enforce permissions on the server-side (in controllers, actions, or policies) in addition to hiding UI elements.
3. **Use Policies for Model-Specific Logic**: For authorization logic that depends on a specific model instance, use a Laravel Policy class.
