Task Management System

Project Overview

The Task Management System is a RESTful API designed to optimize task management processes. Built with Node.js and Express.js, this system facilitates efficient task handling with support for user authentication, task CRUD operations, and role-based access control (RBAC). The system is containerized using Docker for easy deployment and scalability.

Features

• User Authentication: Secure JWT-based authentication for user verification.
• Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Differentiated access for Admin and User roles.
• Task Management: Full CRUD capabilities for managing tasks.
• Task Assignment: Assign tasks to users for better task distribution.
• Filtering and Searching: Advanced task filtering and search functionalities.
• Dockerized Environment: Simplified deployment and environment setup.
