[Feature]: Advanced Authorization Framework with Role-Based Access Control #45

Description

@akargi

Problem / motivation

Multi-signature trading, custodial accounts, and institutional integrations require sophisticated authorization models. Current auth implementation doesn't support delegated trading permissions, time-based restrictions, or transaction approval workflows that institutional traders demand.

Proposed solution

Implement a comprehensive authorization framework:

  1. Role Hierarchy System - Define roles (Admin, Trader, Auditor, Custodian) with granular permissions
  2. Policy Engine - Declarative access control with conditions:
    • Time windows (trading hours only)
    • Transaction limits (max trade value per day)
    • Token restrictions (whitelisted pairs only)
    • Rate limits (max trades per minute)
  3. Delegation Manager - Enable permission delegation with expiration and approval chains
  4. Multi-Signature Policies - Require M-of-N signatures for high-value trades
  5. Audit Logging - Immutable access logs with off-chain storage
  6. Threshold Manager - Dynamic thresholds based on market conditions
  7. Stellar Signers Integration - Leverage Stellar's signer framework for on-chain authorization
  8. API Key Management - Scoped API keys with fine-grained permissions and rotation policies

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Support 5+ hierarchical roles with policy composition
  • Enforce complex policies in < 10ms
  • Complete audit trail for all permission changes
  • Support Stellar on-chain signers natively

Alternatives considered

  1. Simple role-based access - insufficient for institutional requirements
  2. External IAM integration - adds complexity without Stellar-specific optimizations
