US-110: Organization Profile & Settings Management¶
1. Story Title¶
Manage organization profile and global settings
2. Context / Background¶
After a tenant is created (US-101), the admin needs to configure the organization's identity (branding) and global preferences (localization) to ensure the platform feels like their own and functions according to their region.
3. User Persona¶
Primary: Priya – Tenant Admin Secondary: All Users (consumers of branding/settings)
4. Problem Statement¶
Tenants currently have generic branding and default settings (e.g., UTC time), which creates a disconnected user experience and potential confusion in date/time displays.
5. Desired Outcome¶
Tenant Admin can update the organization's name, logo, and address, and configure global settings like timezone, date format, and base currency. These settings are reflected throughout the application.
6. Business Value¶
Enhances brand presence (white-labeling feel) and ensures operational accuracy (correct timezones/currencies for HR/Finance).
7. Scope (In / Out)¶
In: Organization name, logo upload, address, timezone, date format, base currency configuration. Out: Custom domain (CNAME), full white-labeling (custom CSS/themes - future), multi-currency exchange rates.
8. Acceptance Criteria (BDD)¶
Scenario: Update organization profile
Given Priya is on the Organization Settings page
When she updates the Company Name and uploads a new Logo
Then the changes are saved
And the application header immediately reflects the new name and logo
Scenario: Configure global localization settings
Given Priya is on the General Settings tab
When she sets the Timezone to "Asia/Kolkata" and Date Format to "DD/MM/YYYY"
Then the system stores these preferences
And all date displays in the app align with the new format
Scenario: Invalid logo upload
Given Priya attempts to upload a non-image file (e.g., .txt) as a logo
When she submits the form
Then a validation error is displayed
And the profile is not updated
Scenario: Address validation
Given Priya enters an incomplete address
When she attempts to save
Then the system validates required fields (City, Country)
And prompts for correction
9. UX Notes / References¶
Settings page with tabs: "Profile" (Branding/Address) and "Preferences" (Localization). Preview of logo in header.
10. Data / Domain Model Impact¶
Tenant entity extended: logoUrl, address (struct), timezone, dateFormat, currency, fiscalYearStart.
11. NFR Touchpoints¶
- Performance: Settings load < 200ms.
- Security: Only Tenant Admin role can access/modify.
- Caching: Global settings should be cached to minimize DB hits on every request.
12. Dependencies¶
US-101 (Tenant existence).
13. Risks & Mitigations¶
| Risk | Impact | Probability | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Malicious file upload (logo) | Security vulnerability | Low | Strict file type validation + virus scan (reusing US-204 logic if avail) |
| Timezone changes affecting history | Data confusion | Medium | Store all timestamps in UTC; apply display timezone only at UI layer |
14. Estimation Support¶
- Settings API (GET/PUT)
- Logo upload & storage (S3/MinIO)
- Frontend Settings Page
- Global Context/Provider for frontend settings
15. Analytics / Success Metrics¶
% of tenants with custom logo uploaded; frequency of setting changes.
16. Rollout / Release Strategy¶
Standard release; pre-populate defaults for existing tenants.
17. Definition of Ready Checklist¶
- Supported timezones list defined
- Logo dimension/size limits agreed
18. Definition of Done Checklist¶
- All scenarios tested
- UI reflects changes dynamically
- Docs updated (Admin Guide)
19. Open Questions¶
- Should we support fiscal year configuration now or wait for Finance module? (Decided: Include simple start month now).
- Do we need multi-language support (i18n) settings yet? (Deferred).
