User Management Fixes - Complete
🎯 Issues Fixed
1. Edit Button Not Working ❌ → ✅
Problem: The edit button wasn't loading user data because:
- Missing GET endpoint for single user (
/api/admin/users/:id) - JavaScript was passing user ID incorrectly (without quotes)
Solution:
- Added GET endpoint to fetch single user by ID
- Fixed JavaScript to properly quote user IDs in onclick handlers
2. User Creation Not Saving Data ❌ → ✅
Problem: When creating users:
namefield was not being saved to databaserolefield was being sent asrole_idbut database usesrole- Username and password were not properly validated
Solution:
- Updated POST endpoint to save
namefield - Changed backend to use
roleinstead ofrole_id - Added proper validation for all required fields
- Check for duplicate username AND email
3. Password Not Stored Securely ❌ → ✅
Problem:
- Password hashing was working, but no dedicated password change endpoint
- Password updates mixed with user updates
Solution:
- Added dedicated PUT
/api/admin/users/:id/passwordendpoint - Ensured bcrypt with 10 rounds for all password operations
- Separated password changes from user profile updates
4. Database Storage Issues ❌ → ✅
Problem:
- Mismatched column names (role_id vs role)
- Missing name field in queries
- Inconsistent field naming (passwordneverexpires vs password_never_expires)
Solution:
- Standardized to use database column names:
role,name,passwordneverexpires - Updated all queries to include proper fields
- Ensured data is reading and updating correctly
📝 Changes Made
Backend Changes: /backend/routes/users.js
1. Added GET Single User Endpoint
// Get single user by ID
router.get("/:id", async (req, res) => {
const { id } = req.params;
const result = await query(`
SELECT
u.id, u.username, u.email, u.name, u.role, u.isactive,
u.last_login, u.createdat, u.passwordneverexpires, u.role_id
FROM adminusers u
WHERE u.id = $1
`, [id]);
// ... returns user data
});
2. Fixed Create User Endpoint
// Create new user - Now saves name, role, and properly hashes password
router.post("/", async (req, res) => {
const { name, username, email, password, role, passwordneverexpires } = req.body;
// Validate required fields
if (!username || !email || !password || !role) {
return res.status(400).json({
success: false,
message: "Name, username, email, password, and role are required",
});
}
// Check for duplicates (email OR username)
const existing = await query(
"SELECT id FROM adminusers WHERE email = $1 OR username = $2",
[email, username]
);
// Hash password with bcrypt (10 rounds)
const hashedPassword = await bcrypt.hash(password, 10);
// Insert with name and role fields
const result = await query(`
INSERT INTO adminusers (
id, name, username, email, passwordhash, role,
passwordneverexpires, password_expires_at,
isactive, created_by, createdat, lastpasswordchange
) VALUES (
'user-' || gen_random_uuid()::text,
$1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, $7, true, $8, NOW(), NOW()
)
RETURNING id, name, username, email, role, isactive, createdat, passwordneverexpires
`, [name || username, username, email, hashedPassword, role, ...]);
// ...
});
3. Fixed Update User Endpoint
// Update user - Now handles name, role, and optional password
router.put("/:id", async (req, res) => {
const { name, username, email, role, isactive, passwordneverexpires, password } = req.body;
// Build dynamic update query
if (name !== undefined) {
updates.push(`name = $${paramCount++}`);
values.push(name);
}
if (role !== undefined) {
updates.push(`role = $${paramCount++}`);
values.push(role);
}
// Handle optional password update
if (password !== undefined && password !== '') {
if (password.length < 8) {
return res.status(400).json({
success: false,
message: "Password must be at least 8 characters long",
});
}
const hashedPassword = await bcrypt.hash(password, 10);
updates.push(`passwordhash = $${paramCount++}`);
values.push(hashedPassword);
updates.push(`lastpasswordchange = NOW()`);
}
// ...
});
4. Added Password Change Endpoint
// Change user password (PUT endpoint for password modal)
router.put("/:id/password", async (req, res) => {
const { password } = req.body;
if (!password || password.length < 8) {
return res.status(400).json({
success: false,
message: "Password must be at least 8 characters long",
});
}
// Hash new password with bcrypt (10 rounds)
const hashedPassword = await bcrypt.hash(password, 10);
// Update password with expiry calculation
await query(`
UPDATE adminusers
SET passwordhash = $1,
password_expires_at = $2,
lastpasswordchange = NOW(),
updatedat = NOW()
WHERE id = $3
`, [hashedPassword, passwordExpiresAt, id]);
// ...
});
Frontend Changes: /website/admin/js/users.js
Fixed Edit Button Click Handlers
// Before: onclick="editUser(${u.id})" - incorrect, treats ID as number
// After: onclick="editUser('${escapeHtml(u.id)}')" - correct, ID is string
<button class="btn btn-sm btn-info" onclick="editUser('${escapeHtml(u.id)}')" title="Edit User">
<i class="bi bi-pencil"></i>
</button>
<button class="btn btn-sm btn-warning" onclick="showChangePassword('${escapeHtml(u.id)}', '${escapeHtml(u.name)}')" title="Change Password">
<i class="bi bi-key"></i>
</button>
<button class="btn btn-sm btn-danger" onclick="deleteUser('${escapeHtml(u.id)}', '${escapeHtml(u.name)}')" title="Delete User">
<i class="bi bi-trash"></i>
</button>
