# Change: Add Permission Enhancements for Manager and Cross-Department Access ## Why Department managers cannot view their subordinates' workload data, preventing effective resource allocation decisions. Additionally, cross-department project collaboration is hindered because project members from other departments may be denied access. ## What Changes - Enable department managers to view workload data of their department members - Add project membership model to support cross-department collaboration - Enhance access control to check project membership in addition to department ## Impact - Affected specs: resource-management - Affected code: - `backend/app/api/workload/router.py` - Manager access logic - `backend/app/middleware/auth.py` - Access control checks - `backend/app/models/` - New project_members model (optional)
