AT-4.2: Members Tries To Access Unassigned Channel

by ADMIN 51 views

Overview

In this acceptance test, we will be verifying the functionality of the system when a user attempts to access a channel that they are not assigned to. This test is crucial in ensuring that the system is secure and that users can only access channels that they have been explicitly added to.

User Acceptance Flow

Step 1: User is logged in and on the dashboard

  • The user is successfully logged in to the system and is on the dashboard.
  • The user has a valid username and password, and their account is active.
  • The user has not been assigned to any channels.

Step 2: User tries to enter a channel link on their web browser

  • The user navigates to the channel link on their web browser.
  • The user clicks on the link to access the channel.
  • The system attempts to find the user in the channel_members table.

Step 3: System cannot find the user in the channel_members table

  • The system searches the channel_members table for the user's ID.
  • The user's ID is not found in the table.
  • The system determines that the user is not assigned to the channel.

Step 4: System displays an error message to the user

  • The system displays an error message to the user, informing them that access has been denied.
  • The error message is clear and concise, and it indicates that the user does not have permission to access the channel.
  • The error message does not provide any sensitive information about the channel or the user's account.

Test Scenarios

Scenario 1: User is not logged in

  • The user is not logged in to the system.
  • The user attempts to access a channel link on their web browser.
  • The system displays an error message, indicating that the user is not logged in.

Scenario 2: User is logged in but not assigned to the channel

  • The user is logged in to the system, but they are not assigned to the channel.
  • The user attempts to access the channel link on their web browser.
  • The system displays an error message, indicating that access has been denied.

Scenario 3: User is logged in and assigned to the channel

  • The user is logged in to the system and is assigned to the channel.
  • The user attempts to access the channel link on their web browser.
  • The system allows the user to access the channel.

Test Data

User ID Channel ID Expected Result
1 1 Access denied
2 2 Access denied
3 3 Access granted

Test Environment

  • The test environment is a secure and isolated environment, separate from the production environment.
  • The test environment has the same configuration and settings as the production environment.
  • The test environment is used to test the system's functionality and security.

Test Procedure

  1. Log in to the system as a user who is not assigned to the channel.
  2. Navigate to the channel link on the web browser.
  3. Click on the link to access the channel.
  4. Verify that the system displays an error message, indicating that access has been denied.
  5. Repeat steps 1-4 for different user IDs and channel IDs.
  6. Verify that the system behaves as expected in each scenario.

Test Results

Scenario Expected Result Actual Result
User is not logged in Access denied Access denied
User is logged in but not assigned to the channel Access denied Access denied
User is logged in and assigned to the channel Access granted Access granted
