This project is about creating a simple authentication system using Passport.js and Express.js. The project is a simple message board where users can post messages and only authenticated users can view the author of the message and the time when the message was posted. Also only admins can delete messages of other users.
- User registration and authorization
- User session management: user stays logged in until they log out or the session expires
- User roles: admin, club member and user
- User can post messages
- Club members can view the author of the message and the time when the message was posted
- Admins can delete messages of other users
Live preview is available at Members-Only (Render, will take time to visit).
