Building a Role-Based Student Management System in Rust (egui + PostgreSQL)

Authentication answers one question: Who are you?

Authorization answers the next: What are you allowed to do?

After connecting the login system to PostgreSQL, the Teacher Assistant application moved beyond authentication into a role-aware system.

The dashboard, navigation, and student records now adapt dynamically based on the authenticated user's role.

This stage introduces:

  • Role-based dashboards with controlled navigation
  • PostgreSQL-backed student CRUD operations
  • Class-based filtering tied to teacher assignments
  • Permission-controlled editing and deletion
  • State-driven UI using Rust and egui

The interface now reflects identity, role, and database state—rather than static UI logic.

Feedback and suggestions are welcome.
