- **Role Inheritance:** Support for hierarchical role structures
- **Permission Wildcards:** Flexible permission patterns (e.g., `db.*`, `*`)
- **Context-Aware Permissions:** Dynamic permission evaluation with ownership

#### CLI Commands

```bash
# Role Management
ai-shell role create <name> [description]          # Create role
ai-shell role delete <name>                        # Delete role
ai-shell role assign <user> <role>                 # Assign role to user
ai-shell role unassign <user> <role>               # Unassign role from user
ai-shell role hierarchy <name>                     # Show role hierarchy

# Permission Management
ai-shell permission grant <role> <resource> [--actions read,write]
ai-shell permission revoke <role> <resource>
ai-shell permission list [user-or-role]            # List permissions
ai-shell permission check <user> <resource> <action>  # Check permission
```

### 3.2 Permission Model

#### Permission Format
```
<resource>.<action>[.own]

Examples:
- database.read          # Read any database
- database.write.own     # Write only owned databases
- api.*                  # All API operations
- *                      # Super admin (all permissions)
```

#### Role Hierarchy Example
```
Admin (root)
├── database.* (all database operations)
├── api.* (all API operations)
└── user.* (all user operations)

Editor (inherits from Viewer)
├── database.write (from direct)
├── database.delete (from direct)
└── database.read (inherited from Viewer)

Viewer
└── database.read (direct)
```

### 3.3 Context-Aware Permissions

```python
# Check if user can edit their own data
rbac.has_permission(
    user_id='user_123',
    permission='data.edit',
    context={
        'user_id': 'user_123',
        'resource_owner': 'user_123'
    }
)  # Returns True

# Check if user can edit someone else's data
rbac.has_permission(
    user_id='user_123',
    permission='data.edit',
    context={
        'user_id': 'user_123',
        'resource_owner': 'user_456'
    }
)  # Returns False (unless has admin permission)
```

---

- **Compliance Ready:** SOX, HIPAA, GDPR compliant

#### CLI Commands

```bash
# Audit Operations
ai-shell audit show [--user <user>] [--action <action>] [--limit 50]
ai-shell audit export <file> [--format json|csv]
ai-shell audit stats                               # Show statistics
ai-shell audit search <query>                      # Search logs
ai-shell audit clear --before <date>               # Clear old logs
ai-shell audit verify                              # Verify integrity
```

### 4.2 Audit Log Format

```json
{
  "log_id": "log_1_1730198400.123",
  "user": "admin",
  "action": "credential.create",
  "resource": "vault:database-prod",
  "timestamp": "2025-10-29T10:00:00.123Z",
  "details": {
    "credential_type": "database",

  "ip_address": "192.168.1.100",
  "user_agent": "AI-Shell CLI v2.0.0",
  "hash": "abc123def456..."
}
```

### 4.3 Hash Chain Verification

```python
# Each log entry includes:
hash = SHA256(
    user + action + resource + timestamp +
    details + previous_hash
)

# Verification checks:
1. Recalculate hash for each entry
2. Compare with stored hash
3. Verify chain linkage
4. Detect any tampering
```

## 10. Security Recommendations

### 10.1 Operational Best Practices

#### Vault Management
1. **Rotate Keys Regularly:** Use `ai-shell vault rotate` quarterly
2. **Use Strong Master Password:** Minimum 32 characters, mixed case, numbers, symbols
3. **Backup Vault:** Regular encrypted backups of `.vault/` directory
4. **Limit Access:** Restrict vault file permissions (0o600)
5. **Monitor Access:** Review audit logs for vault operations

#### RBAC Configuration
1. **Principle of Least Privilege:** Grant minimum required permissions
2. **Role Hierarchy:** Use inheritance to simplify management
3. **Regular Reviews:** Audit user roles quarterly
4. **Separation of Duties:** Implement for critical operations
5. **Context-Aware Permissions:** Use `.own` suffix for user-owned resources

#### Audit Logging
1. **Enable Tamper-Proof Mode:** Use `TamperProofLogger` in production
2. **Regular Verification:** Run `ai-shell audit verify` daily
3. **Retention Policy:** Configure based on compliance requirements
4. **Export Logs:** Regular exports for compliance and analysis
5. **Monitor Anomalies:** Set up alerts for suspicious activities

#### Security Scanning
1. **Regular Scans:** Run `ai-shell security scan --deep` weekly
2. **Fix Critical Issues:** Address critical vulnerabilities immediately

|-----------|-----------|-------|
| Log action | 1-3ms | Includes hash calculation |
| Search logs | 10-50ms | Depends on log count |
| Verify integrity | 50-200ms | For 1000 logs |
| Export logs | 100-500ms | For 1000 logs |

### 11.4 Optimization Tips

1. **Batch Operations:** Use bulk import/export for multiple credentials
2. **Caching:** Cache frequently accessed permissions
3. **Async Operations:** Use async for non-critical operations
4. **Index Audit Logs:** For faster searching
5. **Lazy Loading:** Load credentials on demand
