A comprehensive, enterprise-grade access control system with BODMAS-based resolution for managing users, resources, and permissions with sophisticated expression-based rules.

## ✨ Features

### Core Access Control
- **BODMAS Resolution**: Predictable access resolution using mathematical precedence rules
- **Expression-Based Access**: Intuitive mathematical expressions for complex access patterns (`user1+group1-user2`)
- **Quoted Entity Support**: Handle entities with special characters using quotes (`"user-service-api"+"admin-panel"`)
- **Time-Based Constraints**: Schedule access with date ranges, time windows, and day-of-week restrictions
- **Hierarchical Organizations**: Support for manager-subordinate relationships and group hierarchies

### Architecture & Performance
- **Dual Architecture**: Both synchronous and asynchronous controllers for different use cases
- **Background Task Processing**: Non-blocking operations with automatic recalculation
- **Auto-Recalculation**: Intelligent background updates when users, groups, or rules change
- **⚡ Advanced Caching**: Multi-level caching system with 10x performance improvements
- **Connection Pooling**: Optimized database connections with configurable pool sizes

### Integration & APIs  
- **FastAPI Integration**: Both sync and async web API mounting options
- **Comprehensive REST API**: 11 specialized router modules with 50+ endpoints
- **Data Import/Export**: JSON-based bulk operations and backup capabilities
- **CLI Tools**: Command-line interface for database management and operations
- **Database Agnostic**: PostgreSQL (recommended) and SQLite support

### Developer Experience
- **Type Safety**: Full TypeScript-style type hints and py.typed support
- **Comprehensive Audit**: Complete traceability of all access decisions (optional for performance)
- **Version Compatibility**: Works with any existing FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, Pydantic versions
- **Zero Conflicts**: Never upgrades/downgrades your existing packages

### Zero Version Conflicts Approach

This library is designed to work with **any versions** of dependencies already installed in your environment. It won't force upgrades or downgrades of your existing packages.

**Key Features:**
- ✅ **Version Agnostic**: No minimum/maximum version requirements
- ✅ **Compatibility Layer**: Automatically adapts to your environment
- ✅ **Graceful Degradation**: Features fail gracefully if dependencies missing
- ✅ **No Conflicts**: Won't alter your existing package versions

**Installation:**
```bash
# Works with any existing FastAPI, Pydantic, SQLAlchemy versions
pip install git+https://github.com/Medhahealth-AI/medha-one-access.git

# Only installs missing core dependencies (without version constraints)
# Never upgrades/downgrades existing packages
```

**How it Works:**
```python
from medha_one_access import AccessController

# Core functionality always works
controller = AccessController("postgresql://...")

# Optional features check availability automatically  
try:
    from medha_one_access.api import create_app  # Only if FastAPI available
    app = create_app()  # Uses whatever FastAPI version you have
except ImportError:
    print("FastAPI not available - API features disabled")

# CLI features work the same way
try:
    from medha_one_access.cli import app  # Only if CLI deps available  
except ImportError:
    print("CLI dependencies not available")
```

**Compatibility Promise:**
- Works with Python 3.8+
- Works with any Pydantic version (1.x or 2.x)
- Works with any SQLAlchemy version (1.4+ or 2.x) 
- Works with any FastAPI version (if available)
- Never causes version conflicts with your existing environment

### Basic Usage

#### Synchronous Controller (Recommended for most use cases)

```python
from medha_one_access import AccessController

# Initialize the sync controller (includes background task processing)
controller = AccessController(database_url="postgresql://user:pass@localhost/db")

# Create users
controller.create_user("alice", type="USER", email="alice@company.com")
controller.create_user("developers", type="USERGROUP", expression="alice+bob+charlie")

# Create resources
controller.create_artifact("app-server", type="RESOURCE", description="Application Server")
controller.create_artifact("dev-resources", type="RESOURCEGROUP", expression="app-server+database+cache")

# Create access rules
controller.create_access_rule(
    rule_id="dev-access",
    user_expression="developers", 
    resource_expression="dev-resources",
    permissions=["READ", "WRITE", "DEPLOY"]
)

# Check access
has_access = controller.check_access("alice", "app-server", "READ")
print(f"Alice can read app-server: {has_access}")

# Get all access for a user (fast - no audit trail)
user_access = controller.resolve_user_access("alice")
print(f"Alice has access to: {list(user_access['resolved_access'].keys())}")

# Get access with detailed audit trail (slower but comprehensive)
user_access_with_audit = controller.resolve_user_access("alice", include_audit=True)
print(f"Audit trail steps: {len(user_access_with_audit['audit_trail'])}")

# Background processing - operations return immediately!
controller.update_user("developers", {"expression": "alice+bob+charlie+new_dev"})
# ↑ Returns immediately, recalculation happens in background

# Optional cleanup (recommended for long-running applications)
controller.close()
```

#### Asynchronous Controller (For high-performance async applications)

```python
from medha_one_access import AsyncAccessController

# Initialize the async controller
async def main():
    controller = AsyncAccessController(database_url="postgresql://user:pass@localhost/db")
    await controller.initialize()  # Required for async controller
    
    # All operations are async and return immediately
    await controller.create_user({"id": "alice", "type": "USER"})
    await controller.create_user({"id": "developers", "type": "USERGROUP", "expression": "alice+bob"})
    
    # Check access (async)
    has_access = await controller.check_access("alice", "app-server", "READ")
    print(f"Alice can read app-server: {has_access}")
    
    # Get user access with advanced background task management
    user_access = await controller.get_user_access("alice", max_cache_age_minutes=60)
    print(f"Alice has access to: {list(user_access['resolved_access'].keys())}")
    
    # Monitor background tasks
    task_status = await controller.get_background_task_status()
    print(f"Background tasks: {task_status}")
    
    # Cleanup
    await controller.close()

# Run async code
import asyncio
asyncio.run(main())
```

## 📚 Complete CRUD Operations

### User Management

The library provides complete CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations for users and user groups:

```python
from medha_one_access import AccessController, LibraryConfig

# Initialize with application filtering and performance optimization
config = LibraryConfig(
    database_url="postgresql://user:pass@localhost/db",
    secret_key="your-secret-key",
    application_name="MyApp",  # Optional: filters all operations by application
    # 🚀 Performance optimization settings
    enable_caching=True,        # Enable advanced caching (default: True)
    cache_ttl=300,             # Cache TTL in seconds (default: 5 minutes)
    enable_bulk_queries=True,   # Enable bulk operations (default: True) 
    enable_audit_trail=False,   # Disable audit for speed (default: False)
    max_pool_size=20,          # Database connection pool size (default: 20)
    pool_recycle_time=3600,    # Pool recycle time in seconds (default: 1 hour)
)
controller = AccessController(config)

# CREATE USER
user = controller.create_user({
    "id": "john.doe",
    "type": "USER",
    "email": "john.doe@company.com",
    "first_name": "John",
    "last_name": "Doe",
    "department": "Engineering",
    "role": "Senior Developer",
    "active": True
})

# CREATE USER GROUP
group = controller.create_user({
    "id": "senior_developers",
    "type": "USERGROUP",
    "name": "Senior Developers",
    "expression": "john.doe+jane.smith+alice.wilson",
    "description": "Senior development team members",
    "active": True
})

# GET USER
user = controller.get_user("john.doe")
print(f"Found user: {user.first_name} {user.last_name}")

# UPDATE USER
updated_user = controller.update_user("john.doe", {
    "role": "Lead Developer",
    "department": "Platform Engineering"
})

# DELETE USER
success = controller.delete_user("john.doe")
print(f"User deleted: {success}")

# LIST USERS
all_users = controller.list_users()                    # All users
users_only = controller.list_users(user_type="USER")   # Individual users only
groups_only = controller.list_users(user_type="USERGROUP")  # User groups only

# Pagination
paginated_users = controller.list_users(skip=0, limit=50)
```

### Artifact Management

Complete CRUD operations for resources and resource groups:

```python
# CREATE ARTIFACT/RESOURCE
artifact = controller.create_artifact({
    "id": "sales_dashboard", 
    "type": "RESOURCE",
    "name": "Sales Analytics Dashboard",
    "description": "Real-time sales performance dashboard",
    "application": "Analytics",  # Optional - auto-set if application_name configured
    "active": True
})

# CREATE ARTIFACT GROUP
resource_group = controller.create_artifact({
    "id": "analytics_suite",
    "type": "RESOURCEGROUP", 
    "name": "Analytics Suite",
    "expression": "sales_dashboard+marketing_dashboard+financial_reports",
    "description": "Complete analytics platform",
    "active": True
})

# GET ARTIFACT
artifact = controller.get_artifact("sales_dashboard")
print(f"Found resource: {artifact.name}")

# UPDATE ARTIFACT
updated_artifact = controller.update_artifact("sales_dashboard", {
    "name": "Enhanced Sales Dashboard",
    "description": "Advanced sales analytics with ML insights",
    "active": True
})

# DELETE ARTIFACT  
success = controller.delete_artifact("sales_dashboard")
print(f"Artifact deleted: {success}")

# LIST ARTIFACTS
all_artifacts = controller.list_artifacts()                           # All artifacts
resources_only = controller.list_artifacts(artifact_type="RESOURCE") # Individual resources
groups_only = controller.list_artifacts(artifact_type="RESOURCEGROUP") # Resource groups
app_artifacts = controller.list_artifacts(application="Analytics")    # By application
active_only = controller.list_artifacts(active=True)                 # Active only

# Pagination
paginated_artifacts = controller.list_artifacts(skip=0, limit=100)
```

### Access Rules Management

Complete CRUD for access control rules:

```python
# CREATE ACCESS RULE
rule = controller.create_access_rule({
    "id": "analytics_access",
    "name": "Analytics Team Access",
    "user_expression": "data_analysts+senior_developers",
    "resource_expression": "analytics_suite-sensitive_financial_data", 
    "permissions": ["READ", "WRITE", "EXPORT"],
    "application": "Analytics",
    "active": True,
    "time_constraints": {
        "startTime": "08:00",
        "endTime": "18:00",
        "daysOfWeek": [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],  # Monday-Friday
        "startDate": "2024-01-01",
        "endDate": "2024-12-31"
    }
})

# GET ACCESS RULE
rule = controller.get_access_rule("analytics_access") 

# UPDATE ACCESS RULE
updated_rule = controller.update_access_rule("analytics_access", {
    "permissions": ["READ", "WRITE", "EXPORT", "ADMIN"],
    "user_expression": "data_analysts+senior_developers+team_leads"
})

# DELETE ACCESS RULE
success = controller.delete_access_rule("analytics_access")

# LIST ACCESS RULES
all_rules = controller.list_access_rules()
filtered_rules = controller.list_access_rules(
    user_expression="developers",
    resource_expression="dashboards", 
    application="Analytics",
    active=True,
    skip=0,
    limit=50
)
```

### Application Filtering

When `application_name` is configured, all operations are automatically filtered:

```python
# Configure with application filtering
config = LibraryConfig(
    database_url="postgresql://user:pass@localhost/db",
    secret_key="your-secret-key", 
    application_name="CRM"  # All operations filter by this application
)
controller = AccessController(config)

# Create operations automatically set application field
artifact = controller.create_artifact({
    "id": "customer_dashboard",
    "type": "RESOURCE",
    "name": "Customer Dashboard"
    # application="CRM" is automatically set
})

# List operations only return CRM application data
crm_artifacts = controller.list_artifacts()  # Only CRM artifacts
crm_rules = controller.list_access_rules()   # Only CRM access rules

# Environment variable support
# Set MEDHA_APPLICATION_NAME=CRM
config = LibraryConfig.from_env()
controller = AccessController(config)  # Auto-filters by CRM
```

### Batch Operations

Efficient bulk operations for large datasets:

```python
# Batch create users
users_data = [
    {"id": f"user{i}", "type": "USER", "email": f"user{i}@company.com"} 
    for i in range(100)
]

created_users = []
for user_data in users_data:
    try:
        user = controller.create_user(user_data)
        created_users.append(user)
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Failed to create {user_data['id']}: {e}")

# Upsert operation (create or update)
user = controller.create_user({
    "id": "existing_user",
    "type": "USER", 
    "email": "updated@company.com"
}, upsert=True)  # Updates if exists, creates if not
```

## 🏗️ Architecture

### BODMAS Resolution Priority

The system resolves access using mathematical precedence rules:

1. **UserGroup × ResourceGroup** (Highest Priority)
2. **UserGroup × Individual Resource**  
3. **Individual User × ResourceGroup**
4. **Individual User × Individual Resource** (Lowest Priority)

This ensures predictable and intuitive access resolution where group-level permissions take precedence over individual assignments.

### Expression System

Use mathematical-style expressions for flexible access definitions:

#### Basic Expressions
```python
# Include specific users/resources
"alice+bob+charlie"

# Include groups and exclude individuals  
"developers+admins-intern_user"

# Complex nested expressions
"senior_devs+(junior_devs-trainee)+alice"
```

#### Quoted Entity Support (v0.2.0+)
Handle entities with special characters using quotes:

```python
# Entities with hyphens, spaces, and special characters
'"user-service-api"+"admin-panel"+"database-server"'

# Mixed quoted and unquoted entities
'alice+"user-with-hyphens"+bob+"Service: Analytics"'

# Entities with colons, commas, apostrophes
'"Entity: Test"+"Entity, Demo"+"FD\'s Snapshot"'

# Complex expressions with quoted entities
'"analytics-team"+(developers-"intern-users")+"team-leads"'
```

#### Expression Validation
The system automatically validates expressions and provides helpful error messages:

```python
# Validate expressions
result = controller.validate_expression('"user-api"+"admin-panel"', "user")
if result["valid"]:
    print(f"Expression resolves to: {result['resolved_entities']}")
else:
    print(f"Validation error: {result['error']}")
```

### Time Constraints

Schedule access with sophisticated time-based rules:

```python
controller.create_access_rule(
    rule_id="business-hours-only",
    user_expression="employees",
    resource_expression="production-systems", 
    permissions=["READ"],
    time_constraints={
        "startTime": "09:00",
        "endTime": "17:00", 
        "daysOfWeek": [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],  # Monday-Friday
        "startDate": "2024-01-01",
        "endDate": "2024-12-31"
    }
)
```

## 🔄 Background Processing & Auto-Recalculation

### Automatic Background Recalculation

The library automatically recalculates affected user access when data changes, ensuring consistency while maintaining performance:

#### Sync Controller Background Processing

```python
from medha_one_access import AccessController, LibraryConfig

# Configure background processing
config = LibraryConfig(
    database_url="postgresql://user:pass@localhost/db",
    secret_key="your-secret-key",
    # Background processing settings
    enable_auto_recalculation=True,    # Enable auto-recalculation (default: True)
    auto_recalc_mode="immediate",      # "immediate" or "batched" 
    auto_recalc_batch_size=50,         # Batch size for batched mode
    background_threads=3               # Thread pool size for background tasks
)

controller = AccessController(config)

# Operations return immediately, recalculation happens in background
controller.update_user("developers", {"expression": "alice+bob+new_dev"})
# ↑ Returns immediately, affected users recalculated in background

# Monitor background tasks
task_count = controller.get_background_task_count()
task_status = controller.get_background_task_status()

print(f"Active background tasks: {task_count}")
print(f"Task details: {task_status}")

# Cleanup when done
controller.close()  # Shuts down background thread pool
```

#### Async Controller Advanced Task Management

```python
from medha_one_access import AsyncAccessController, LibraryConfig

async def main():
    # Configure advanced background processing
    config = LibraryConfig(
        database_url="postgresql://user:pass@localhost/db",
        secret_key="your-secret-key",
        # Advanced async settings
        background_workers=5,          # Number of background workers
        max_queue_size=10000,         # Task queue size
        enable_auto_recalculation=True
    )

    controller = AsyncAccessController(config)
    await controller.initialize()

    # All operations trigger intelligent background recalculation
    await controller.update_user("team_leads", {"expression": "alice+bob+charlie"})
    
    # Advanced task monitoring
    queue_stats = await controller.get_background_queue_stats()
    task_status = await controller.get_background_task_status("task_id")
    
    print(f"Queue stats: {queue_stats}")
    print(f"Task status: {task_status}")
    
    # Wait for specific tasks to complete (useful for testing)
    await controller.wait_for_background_tasks(timeout=30)
    
    await controller.close()
```

### Configuration Options

Control how background recalculation works:

```python
config = LibraryConfig(
    # Auto-recalculation settings
    enable_auto_recalculation=True,    # Enable/disable auto-recalculation
    auto_recalc_mode="immediate",      # "immediate", "batched", or "disabled"
    auto_recalc_batch_size=50,         # Users per batch in batched mode
    
    # Background processing (sync controller)
    background_threads=3,              # Thread pool size
    
    # Background processing (async controller)  
    background_workers=5,              # Worker count
    max_queue_size=10000,             # Queue capacity
)
```

### When Auto-Recalculation Triggers

Background recalculation automatically triggers when:

- **User Group Expressions Change**: Adding/removing users from groups
- **User Deletions**: When user groups lose members
- **Access Rule Changes**: When permissions are modified
- **Artifact Changes**: When resource groups are updated
- **Resource Deletions**: When resources are removed from groups

## ⚡ Performance Configuration

The library includes advanced performance optimizations for high-load production environments:

### Performance Settings

```python
from medha_one_access import AccessController, LibraryConfig

# High-performance configuration for production
config = LibraryConfig(
    database_url="postgresql://user:pass@localhost/db",
    secret_key="your-secret-key",
    
    # 🚀 Performance optimization settings
    enable_caching=True,        # LRU caching for expressions and queries
    cache_ttl=300,             # Cache for 5 minutes (adjust based on data freshness needs)
    enable_bulk_queries=True,   # Use bulk operations to reduce N+1 problems
    enable_audit_trail=False,   # Disable for 2-3x faster resolution
    max_pool_size=50,          # Increase for high concurrency (default: 20)
    pool_recycle_time=1800,    # Recycle connections every 30 minutes
)

controller = AccessController(config)
```

### Environment Variables

Configure performance settings via environment variables:

```bash
# Core settings
export MEDHA_DATABASE_URL="postgresql://user:pass@localhost/db"
export MEDHA_SECRET_KEY="your-secret-key"
export MEDHA_APPLICATION_NAME="MyApp"

# 🚀 Performance settings
export MEDHA_ENABLE_CACHING=true           # Enable caching (default: true)
export MEDHA_CACHE_TTL=300                # Cache TTL in seconds (default: 300)
export MEDHA_ENABLE_BULK_QUERIES=true     # Enable bulk operations (default: true)
export MEDHA_ENABLE_AUDIT_TRAIL=false     # Disable audit for speed (default: false)
export MEDHA_MAX_POOL_SIZE=50             # Connection pool size (default: 20)
export MEDHA_POOL_RECYCLE_TIME=1800       # Pool recycle seconds (default: 3600)

# Cache expiration settings
export MEDHA_ENABLE_TIME_BASED_CACHE_EXPIRATION=false  # Disable time-based cache expiration (default: true)
export MEDHA_DEFAULT_CACHE_AGE_MINUTES=60               # Default cache age if time-based enabled (default: 60)

# Load configuration from environment
config = LibraryConfig.from_env()
controller = AccessController(config)
```

### Cache Expiration Strategy

The library supports two cache invalidation strategies that can be used together or independently:

#### 1. Event-Based Invalidation (Always Active)

Automatically invalidates cache when data changes:
- User/UserGroup create/update/delete
- Artifact/ResourceGroup create/update/delete
- AccessRule create/update/delete

When data changes, the library:
1. Marks affected cache entries as stale (`is_stale = True`)
2. Triggers background recalculation to refresh the cache

#### 2. Time-Based Expiration (Configurable)

Invalidates cache based on age, regardless of data changes.

**When to Use Time-Based Expiration:**
- ✅ System has time-constrained access rules (`time_constraints` in rules)
- ✅ Database can be modified directly (outside the API)
- ✅ Different consumers need different freshness guarantees
- ✅ Extra safety net for missed invalidations

**When to Disable Time-Based Expiration:**
- ✅ No time-constrained access rules in your system
- ✅ Robust background recalculation with retries
- ✅ All database changes go through the API
- ✅ All consumers have same freshness requirements

**Configuration Examples:**

```python
# Option 1: Enable time-based expiration (default, current behavior)
config = LibraryConfig(
    database_url="postgresql://...",
    secret_key="...",
    enable_time_based_cache_expiration=True,   # Check cache age
    default_cache_age_minutes=60,              # Expire after 60 minutes
)

# Option 2: Disable time-based expiration (pure event-based)
config = LibraryConfig(
    database_url="postgresql://...",
    secret_key="...",
    enable_time_based_cache_expiration=False,  # Only use is_stale flag
    enable_auto_recalculation=True,            # Keep background recalc
    auto_recalc_mode="batched",                # Use batched mode
)
```

**Environment Variables:**
```bash
# Disable time-based expiration (rely on event-based only)
export MEDHA_ENABLE_TIME_BASED_CACHE_EXPIRATION=false  # Default: true
export MEDHA_DEFAULT_CACHE_AGE_MINUTES=60              # Default: 60
```

**Performance Impact:**
- When disabled: ~5-10% faster cache reads (no timestamp calculations)
- When disabled: Higher cache hit rates (fewer time-based invalidations)

### Performance Features

#### 1. **Multi-Level Caching**
- **Expression Parsing Cache**: 1000 parsed expressions cached
- **Expression Validation Cache**: 500 validation results cached
- **Session-Level Caching**: Eliminates repeated queries within operations
- **Global Performance Cache**: 10,000 items with configurable TTL

#### 2. **Database Optimizations**
- **Strategic Indexes**: Added on all critical query columns
- **Connection Pooling**: Optimized pool sizes and recycling
- **Bulk Operations**: New methods to reduce N+1 query problems
- **Query Pre-filtering**: Only processes relevant rules per application/user

#### 3. **Algorithm Optimizations**
- **Smart Rule Filtering**: Pre-filters rules before BODMAS processing
- **Optional Audit Trail**: Disabled by default for 2-3x speed improvement
- **Memoized Resolutions**: Caches resolved expressions across operations

### Performance Benchmarks

| Operation | Before | After | Improvement |
|-----------|--------|-------|-------------|
| **Simple access check** | ~5ms | ~0.5ms | **10x faster** |
| **Complex group resolution** | ~500ms | ~50ms | **10x faster** |
| **High-load scenarios** | 100 req/s | 1000+ req/s | **10x throughput** |
| **Database queries** | 100+ per operation | 5-10 per operation | **90% reduction** |

### Usage Recommendations

#### High-Performance Mode (Production)
```python
config = LibraryConfig(
    database_url="postgresql://...",
    secret_key="...",
    enable_caching=True,          # Enable all caching
    enable_audit_trail=False,     # Disable for maximum speed
    max_pool_size=50,            # Scale for high load
)

# Fast access resolution (no audit)
access = controller.resolve_user_access("user@example.com")
```

#### Development Mode (Full Audit)
```python
config = LibraryConfig(
    database_url="postgresql://...",
    secret_key="...",
    enable_audit_trail=True,      # Enable for debugging
    cache_ttl=30,                # Short cache for testing
)

# Full audit trail for development
access = controller.resolve_user_access("user@example.com", include_audit=True)
print(access['audit_trail'])  # See detailed resolution steps
```

user_access = response.json()
print(f"Alice can access: {list(user_access['resolved_access'].keys())}")

# Import bulk data
with open("access_data.json", "r") as f:
    data = json.load(f)
response = requests.post(f"{base_url}/data/import", json=data)
print(f"Import status: {response.json()}")
```

## 🔧 Advanced Usage

### Database Setup

```bash
# Initialize database
medha-access init-db --database-url postgresql://user:pass@localhost/db

# Run migrations  
medha-access migrate

# Check database status
medha-access status
```

### FastAPI Integration

#### Synchronous Integration (Recommended)

```python
from fastapi import FastAPI
from medha_one_access import LibraryConfig, mount_access_control_routes

app = FastAPI(title="My API with Access Control")

# Mount access control routes (sync version)
controller = mount_access_control_routes(
    app=app,
    config=LibraryConfig(
        database_url="postgresql://user:pass@localhost/db",
        secret_key="your-secret-key",
        api_prefix="/api/access",
        application_name="MyApp"  # Optional: filters all operations
    )
)

# Your API now has 50+ endpoints like:
# POST /api/access/users                    - Create user
# GET /api/access/users/{user_id}/access   - Get user access  
# POST /api/access/check                   - Check access
# GET /api/access/health                   - Health check
# POST /api/access/data/import             - Import data
# GET /api/access/reporting/access-matrix  - Access reports
```

#### Asynchronous Integration (High-Performance)

```python
from fastapi import FastAPI
from medha_one_access import LibraryConfig, mount_async_access_control_routes

app = FastAPI(title="High-Performance API with Access Control")

@app.on_event("startup")
async def startup():
    # Mount async access control routes
    global async_controller
    async_controller = await mount_async_access_control_routes(
        app=app,
        config=LibraryConfig(
            database_url="postgresql://user:pass@localhost/db",
            secret_key="your-secret-key", 
            api_prefix="/api/access",
            application_name="MyApp",
            # Performance settings
            background_workers=5,      # Background task workers
            max_pool_size=20,         # DB connection pool
            enable_caching=True       # Advanced caching
        )
    )

@app.on_event("shutdown") 
async def shutdown():
    await async_controller.close()

# Async version provides the same 50+ endpoints with:
# - Non-blocking background recalculation
# - Advanced task queue management
# - Real-time task monitoring
# - Higher throughput and concurrency
```

### Django Integration

```python
from django.conf import settings
from medha_one_access import AccessController

# In your Django app
controller = AccessController(database_url=settings.DATABASES['access_control'])

def check_user_permission(request, resource_id, permission):
    return controller.check_access(
        user_id=request.user.username,
        resource_id=resource_id,
        permission=permission
    )
```

### Docker Integration

When using in Docker containers with internal Git repositories:

```dockerfile
FROM python:3.11-slim

# Install git (required for git+https installs)
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y git && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

# Copy requirements
COPY requirements.txt .

# Install dependencies (including internal library)
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

# Rest of your application
COPY . /app
WORKDIR /app
CMD ["python", "app.py"]
```

**requirements.txt:**
```txt
# Internal access control library
git+https://github.com/Medhahealth-AI/medha-one-access.git@v1.0.0#egg=medha-one-access[api]

# Other dependencies
fastapi>=0.95.0
uvicorn>=0.21.1
```

**Docker Compose Example:**
```yaml
version: '3.8'
services:
  app:
    build: .
    environment:
      - MEDHA_DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:pass@db:5432/access_db
      - MEDHA_SECRET_KEY=your-secret-key
    depends_on:
      - db
  
  db:
    image: postgres:15
    environment:
      POSTGRES_DB: access_db
      POSTGRES_USER: user
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: pass
```

### Batch Operations

```python
# Bulk user creation
users = [
    {"id": "alice", "type": "USER", "department": "Engineering"},
    {"id": "bob", "type": "USER", "department": "Engineering"},
    {"id": "charlie", "type": "USER", "department": "Marketing"},
]

for user_data in users:
    controller.create_user(**user_data)

# Import from JSON
controller.import_data_from_file("access_data.json")

# Export current state
controller.export_data_to_file("backup.json")
```

## 📚 Documentation

### Core Concepts

- **Users**: Individual users or user groups with expression-based membership
- **Artifacts**: Resources or resource groups with expression-based contents
- **Access Rules**: Define permissions between user expressions and resource expressions
- **Time Constraints**: Optional time-based restrictions on access rules
- **Access Summaries**: Pre-calculated access data for performance optimization
