Authentication + RBAC for a Multi-Workspace SaaS. Advanced challenge in design. Designing real products under real constraints, earn a blockchain-verified cr...
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Design a multi-workspace auth + RBAC system that fixes the homegrown system's gaps and migrates 9,000 workspaces without disrupting customers.
This is not a design exercise. It is the work a product designer does between a brief and a shipped interface. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates redesign Spotify's homepage and none who have worked under real product constraints.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Design a workspace-scoped RBAC model that supports both default and custom roles
- Integrate SAML and OIDC for per-workspace identity-provider configuration
- Apply STRIDE threat-modeling to an authentication subsystem
- Plan a staged migration that protects existing users and contracts
