Story 2.4: Account Lifecycle Management
Epic Reference
Epic 2: User Management System
User Story
As an admin, I want to deactivate, reactivate, and permanently delete client accounts, So that I can manage the full lifecycle of client relationships.
Story Context
Existing System Integration
- Integrates with: Users table, consultations, timelines, notifications, sessions
- Technology: Livewire Volt (class-based), Flux UI modals, Pest tests
- Follows pattern: Same admin action patterns as Story 2.1/2.2, soft deactivation via status field, hard deletion with cascade
- Touch points: User model, AdminLog model, FortifyServiceProvider (authentication check)
- PRD Reference: Section 5.3 (User Management System - Account Lifecycle)
- Key Files to Create/Modify:
resources/views/livewire/admin/users/partials/- Lifecycle action componentsapp/Notifications/- Reactivation and password reset notificationsapp/Providers/FortifyServiceProvider.php- Add deactivation check to authenticateUsingapp/Models/User.php- Add lifecycle methods and deleting eventtests/Feature/Admin/AccountLifecycleTest.php- Feature tests
Acceptance Criteria
Deactivate Account
- "Deactivate" button on user profile and list
- Confirmation dialog explaining consequences
- Effects of deactivation:
- User cannot log in
- All data retained (consultations, timelines)
- Status changes to 'deactivated'
- Can be reactivated by admin
- Visual indicator in user list (grayed out, badge)
- Audit log entry created
Reactivate Account
- "Reactivate" button on deactivated profiles
- Confirmation dialog
- Effects of reactivation:
- Restore login ability
- Status changes to 'active'
- All data intact
- Email notification sent to user
- Audit log entry created
Delete Account (Permanent)
- "Delete" button (with danger styling)
- Confirmation dialog with strong warning:
- "This action cannot be undone"
- Lists what will be deleted
- Requires typing confirmation (e.g., user email)
- Effects of deletion:
- User record permanently removed
- Cascades to: consultations, timelines, timeline_updates, notifications
- Cannot be recovered
- Audit log entry preserved (for audit trail)
- No email sent (user no longer exists)
Password Reset
- "Reset Password" action on user profile
- Options:
- Generate random password
Set specific password manually(Simplified to auto-generate only)
- Email new credentials to client
- Force password change on next login (optional) - Not implemented per simplified approach
- Audit log entry created
Quality Requirements
- All actions logged in admin_logs table
- Bilingual confirmation messages
- Clear visual states for account status
- Tests for all lifecycle operations

User Status Management
// User model
public function isActive(): bool
{
return $this->status === 'active';
}
public function isDeactivated(): bool
{
return $this->status === 'deactivated';
}
public function deactivate(): void
{
$this->update(['status' => 'deactivated']);
}
public function reactivate(): void
{
$this->update(['status' => 'active']);
}
Authentication Check
// In FortifyServiceProvider or custom auth
Fortify::authenticateUsing(function (Request $request) {
$user = User::where('email', $request->email)->first();
if ($user &&
$user->isActive() &&
Hash::check($request->password, $user->password)) {
return $user;
}
// Optionally: different error for deactivated
return null;
});
Cascade Deletion
// In User model
protected static function booted(): void
{
static::deleting(function (User $user) {
// Log before deletion
AdminLog::create([
'admin_id' => auth()->id(),
'action_type' => 'delete',
'target_type' => 'user',
'target_id' => $user->id,
'old_values' => $user->toArray(),
'ip_address' => request()->ip(),
]);
// Cascade delete (or use foreign key CASCADE)
$user->consultations()->delete();
$user->timelines->each(function ($timeline) {
$timeline->updates()->delete();
$timeline->delete();
});
$user->notifications()->delete();
});
}
Volt Component for Lifecycle Actions
<?php
use App\Models\User;
use Livewire\Volt\Component;
use Illuminate\Support\Str;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;
new class extends Component {
public User $user;
public string $deleteConfirmation = '';
public bool $showDeleteModal = false;
public function deactivate(): void
{
$this->user->deactivate();
AdminLog::create([
'admin_id' => auth()->id(),
'action_type' => 'deactivate',
'target_type' => 'user',
'target_id' => $this->user->id,
'old_values' => ['status' => 'active'],
'new_values' => ['status' => 'deactivated'],
'ip_address' => request()->ip(),
]);
session()->flash('success', __('messages.user_deactivated'));
}
public function reactivate(): void
{
$this->user->reactivate();
// Send notification
$this->user->notify(new AccountReactivatedNotification());
// Log action
AdminLog::create([...]);
session()->flash('success', __('messages.user_reactivated'));
}
public function delete(): void
{
if ($this->deleteConfirmation !== $this->user->email) {
$this->addError('deleteConfirmation', __('validation.email_confirmation'));
return;
}
$this->user->delete();
session()->flash('success', __('messages.user_deleted'));
$this->redirect(route('admin.users.index'));
}
public function resetPassword(): void
{
$newPassword = Str::random(12);
$this->user->update([
'password' => Hash::make($newPassword),
]);
// Send new credentials email
$this->user->notify(new PasswordResetByAdminNotification($newPassword));
// Log action
AdminLog::create([
'admin_id' => auth()->id(),
'action_type' => 'password_reset',
'target_type' => 'user',
'target_id' => $this->user->id,
'ip_address' => request()->ip(),
]);
session()->flash('success', __('messages.password_reset_sent'));
}
};
Delete Confirmation Modal
<flux:modal wire:model="showDeleteModal">
<flux:heading>{{ __('messages.confirm_delete') }}</flux:heading>
<flux:callout variant="danger">
{{ __('messages.delete_warning') }}
</flux:callout>
<p>{{ __('messages.will_be_deleted') }}</p>
<ul class="list-disc ps-5 mt-2">
<li>{{ __('messages.all_consultations') }}</li>
<li>{{ __('messages.all_timelines') }}</li>
<li>{{ __('messages.all_notifications') }}</li>
</ul>
<flux:field>
<flux:label>{{ __('messages.type_email_to_confirm', ['email' => $user->email]) }}</flux:label>
<flux:input wire:model="deleteConfirmation" />
<flux:error name="deleteConfirmation" />
</flux:field>
<div class="flex gap-3 mt-4">
<flux:button wire:click="$set('showDeleteModal', false)">
{{ __('messages.cancel') }}
</flux:button>
<flux:button variant="danger" wire:click="delete">
{{ __('messages.delete_permanently') }}
</flux:button>
</div>
</flux:modal>
Edge Cases & Error Handling
- Active sessions on deactivation: Invalidate all user sessions when deactivated (use
DB::table('sessions')->where('user_id', $user->id)->delete()) - Deactivated user login attempt: Show bilingual message: "Your account has been deactivated. Please contact the administrator."
- Delete with related data: Cascade deletion handles consultations/timelines automatically via model
deletingevent - Delete confirmation mismatch: Display validation error, do not proceed with deletion
- Password reset email failure: Queue the email, log failure, show success message (email queued)
- Reactivation email failure: Queue the email, log failure, still complete reactivation
Session Invalidation on Deactivation
// Add to deactivate() method in Volt component
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
public function deactivate(): void
{
$this->user->deactivate();
// Invalidate all active sessions for this user
DB::table('sessions')
->where('user_id', $this->user->id)
->delete();
// Log action...
}
Testing Requirements
Test File Location
tests/Feature/Admin/AccountLifecycleTest.php
Test Scenarios
Deactivation Tests
- Admin can deactivate an active user
- Deactivated user cannot login (returns null from authenticateUsing)
- Deactivated user shows visual indicator in user list
- User sessions are invalidated on deactivation
- AdminLog entry created with old/new status values
- Deactivation preserves all user data (consultations, timelines intact)
Reactivation Tests
- Admin can reactivate a deactivated user
- Reactivated user can login successfully
- Reactivated user status changes to 'active'
- Email notification queued on reactivation
- AdminLog entry created for reactivation
Permanent Deletion Tests
- Delete button shows danger styling
- Delete requires typing user email for confirmation
- Incorrect email confirmation shows validation error
- Successful deletion removes user record permanently
- Cascade deletion removes user's consultations
- Cascade deletion removes user's timelines and timeline_updates
- Cascade deletion removes user's notifications
- AdminLog entry preserved after user deletion (for audit trail)
- Redirect to users index after successful deletion
Password Reset Tests
- Admin can reset user password with random generation
- New password meets minimum requirements (8+ characters)
- Password reset email sent to user with new credentials
- AdminLog entry created for password reset
- User can login with new password
Authorization Tests
- Non-admin users cannot access lifecycle actions
- Admin cannot deactivate their own account (Not implemented - future enhancement)
- Admin cannot delete their own account (Not implemented - future enhancement)
Bilingual Tests
- Confirmation dialogs display in Arabic when locale is 'ar'
- Confirmation dialogs display in English when locale is 'en'
- Success/error messages respect user's preferred language
Testing Approach
use App\Models\User;
use App\Models\AdminLog;
use Livewire\Volt\Volt;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Notification;
use App\Notifications\AccountReactivatedNotification;
test('admin can deactivate active user', function () {
$admin = User::factory()->admin()->create();
$client = User::factory()->individual()->create(['status' => 'active']);
Volt::actingAs($admin)
->test('admin.users.show', ['user' => $client])
->call('deactivate')
->assertHasNoErrors();
expect($client->fresh()->status)->toBe('deactivated');
expect(AdminLog::where('action_type', 'deactivate')->exists())->toBeTrue();
});
test('deactivated user cannot login', function () {
$user = User::factory()->create(['status' => 'deactivated']);
$this->post('/login', [
'email' => $user->email,
'password' => 'password',
])->assertSessionHasErrors();
$this->assertGuest();
});
test('delete requires email confirmation', function () {
$admin = User::factory()->admin()->create();
$client = User::factory()->individual()->create();
Volt::actingAs($admin)
->test('admin.users.show', ['user' => $client])
->set('deleteConfirmation', 'wrong@email.com')
->call('delete')
->assertHasErrors(['deleteConfirmation']);
expect(User::find($client->id))->not->toBeNull();
});
test('reactivation sends email notification', function () {
Notification::fake();
$admin = User::factory()->admin()->create();
$client = User::factory()->individual()->create(['status' => 'deactivated']);
Volt::actingAs($admin)
->test('admin.users.show', ['user' => $client])
->call('reactivate')
->assertHasNoErrors();
Notification::assertSentTo($client, AccountReactivatedNotification::class);
});
Definition of Done
- Deactivate prevents login but preserves data
- Reactivate restores login ability
- Delete permanently removes all user data
- Delete requires email confirmation
- Password reset sends new credentials
- Visual indicators show account status
- Audit logging for all actions
- Email notifications sent appropriately
- Bilingual support complete
- Tests for all lifecycle states
- Code formatted with Pint
Dependencies
Required Before Implementation
- Story 1.1: Database schema must include:
users.statuscolumn (enum: 'active', 'deactivated')users.user_typecolumn (enum: 'individual', 'company', 'admin')admin_logstable with columns:admin_id,action_type,target_type,target_id,old_values,new_values,ip_address
- Story 1.2: Authentication system with admin role, AdminLog model
- Story 2.1: Individual client management (establishes CRUD patterns)
- Story 2.2: Company client management
Soft Dependencies (Can Be Empty/Stubbed)
- Epic 3: Consultations table (cascade delete - can be empty if not yet implemented)
- Epic 4: Timelines table (cascade delete - can be empty if not yet implemented)
Notification Classes (Created in This Story)
This story creates the following notification classes:
App\Notifications\AccountReactivatedNotification- Sent when account is reactivatedApp\Notifications\PasswordResetByAdminNotification- Sent with new credentials after admin password reset
Note: These are simple notifications. Full email infrastructure (templates, queuing) is handled in Epic 8. These notifications will use Laravel's default mail driver.
Risk Assessment
- Primary Risk: Accidental permanent deletion
- Mitigation: Strong confirmation dialog, email confirmation, audit log
- Rollback: Not possible for delete - warn user clearly
Estimation
Complexity: Medium Estimated Effort: 4-5 hours

QA Results
Review Date: 2025-12-26
Reviewed By: Quinn (Test Architect)
Risk Assessment
Review Depth: Standard - Auth/security files touched (FortifyServiceProvider, lifecycle actions), but implementation follows established patterns with comprehensive test coverage.
Code Quality Assessment
Overall: Excellent
The implementation demonstrates high quality across all dimensions:
-
Architecture & Design Patterns
- Clean separation of concerns with dedicated Volt component for lifecycle actions
- Proper use of Laravel enums (UserStatus) for type-safe status management
- DB transactions ensure data consistency for all operations
- Model methods (deactivate/reactivate) encapsulate business logic appropriately
-
Security Implementation
- Deactivation check properly integrated into FortifyServiceProvider:48-58
- Session invalidation on deactivation prevents zombie sessions
- Email confirmation required for permanent deletion (defense in depth)
- Admin authorization enforced at route/middleware level
-
Notification Architecture
- Both notifications implement
ShouldQueuefor reliability - Proper locale handling via
$notifiable->preferred_language - Try-catch with
report()ensures notification failures don't break core operations
- Both notifications implement
-
Code Organization
- Lifecycle actions cleanly reusable across individual/company show pages
- Complete bilingual support (AR/EN) for all UI strings and email templates
- Consistent use of Flux UI components throughout
Refactoring Performed
None required - implementation is clean and follows project conventions.
