Hi guys, i have a theoretical question that it came when i start building a auto repair shop about the Rest Api Endpoints... My question is when i have groups of users beside the authentication that will be implemented accordingly , i should have a single users endpoint or different based on the user's role and in the users to have only the shared functionality?

Can you elaborate on that? What endpoints are you talking about exactly?

for example i have the site and they can register users and each user much have a role , soo i have entities as secretary, mechanic , customer that extends the user entity soo my question is should i make different endpoints - controllers for each entity or should access and manage the other entities through the users controller-endpoints? for example to change the mechanics info will be under the url api/mechanics or at api/users?userRole="mechanic"

I'd say you should structure your endpoints by operations, not by roles

#

so if the same operation can be performed by users with different roles, create one endpoints and allow multiple roles to use it

soo to have the single controller for endpoints and manage the user auth on service layer not on controller how to access

#

to give permission on the single to all but then and based on access and the filter to do the exact operation with if statements on service soo to not have different endpoints correct?

I'd say group operations logically and create/structure your controllers according to that

soo generally its better to keep the resourse only seperatly and all the others that extends or its a part of a resource to be as endpoints with query params etc in their based resource controller?

What do you need query params for now?
