The objective of this project is to design and develop a university research portal using a role-based secure access framework. The system enables secure submission, review, and management of research content while ensuring that access to academic data is restricted based on user roles and responsibilities.
Analyze university research workflow and gather functional and security requirements.
Prepare Software Requirement Specification (SRS) and system flow documentation.
Design system architecture with secure access layers and role-based authorization.
Create database schema for users, roles, permissions, research papers, projects, reviews, and publications.
Implement authentication and RBAC with roles such as Admin, Faculty, Research Scholar, and Reviewer.
Develop secure login and session management using password hashing techniques.
Build modules for research paper submission, editing, and version management.
Implement review and approval workflows with role-based access restrictions.
Ensure controlled visibility of research documents based on user roles.
Design dashboards for different roles showing submissions, approvals, and publication status.
Develop responsive user interfaces using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or frontend frameworks.
Integrate backend using Java / Python / PHP / Node.js as per BCA/MCA curriculum.
Apply input validation and secure coding practices to prevent unauthorized access.
Maintain audit logs to track document access and modification history.
Perform unit testing, system testing, and role-based security testing.
Prepare documentation including ER diagrams, DFDs, test cases, and user manuals.
