Project Phases & Roadmap

This document structures past achievements and maps future development phases for the Tech4Biz Channel Partner Portal.

Phase 1: Secure Asset Library & Onboarding Gateway (COMPLETED)

Secure Client-Side Previews: Built browser-native preview engines for Word, PDF, Excel, and CSV files, bypassing external online view dependencies.
Responsive Full-Bleed Thumbnails: Integrated ResizeObserver to dynamically scale dynamic first-page/sheet previews to the size of the catalog grid cards.
Onboarding Legal Skip: Created a fallback route allowing administrators to skip legal NDAs/MSAs for trusted partners.
MFA Security Gates: Added MFA configuration toggles to both backend user registration and frontend administration panels.
Disk/Storage Cleanup: Integrated automatic MinIO file deletion routines into the administrative delete-asset workflow.

Hierarchical Company Branches: Extend Organization model to support sub-branches or multi-company profiles under a single parent entity.
Rigorous Multi-Tenancy Scopes: Refine database query interceptors in backend service layers to verify that users can only search, discover, or download assets explicitly tagged/shared to their current branch or organization hierarchy.
Organization Admin Scopes: Introduce organization-specific admins who can invite members and review download requests within their own company boundaries without global system privileges.

Personalized Asset Suggestions: Implement an asset recommendation widget on the partner dashboard recommending resources based on:
- User's partner group classification.
- Popularity (highest download counts).
- Recently uploaded assets within matching folder categories.
Activity-Based Feeds: Display a "Recommended for You" section utilizing tag matching algorithms on the client catalog homepage.
