Objective

Ensure unauthorized users cannot escalate their privileges or access admin settings, and that all such attempts are logged and denied.

Prerequisites

  • You must have a guest or non-admin account for testing.

Steps

  1. Log in to the Papyrus app as a guest or non-admin user.
  2. Attempt to access admin settings or perform admin-only actions (e.g., module management, user management).
    • Screenshot needed: Attempted access to admin settings as a non-admin.
  3. Observe the system’s response. The action should be denied and logged.
    • Video recommended: Record the attempt and the system’s denial response.
  4. If possible, review the system logs or audit trail for the recorded attempt.
    • Screenshot needed: Log entry or audit trail showing the denied action.

Expected Results

  • Unauthorized actions are blocked and the user is shown an appropriate error message.
  • The attempt is logged in the system for auditing.
  • If privilege escalation is possible, document the steps and capture screenshots or video.

Tip: If you encounter any issues, please document the error message and steps taken, and attach screenshots or a video for troubleshooting.
