# Introduction

> Overview of Nuxt Secure — a corporate access management platform built with Nuxt.js 4 and Vue 3.

Nuxt Secure is a full-stack corporate web application for **secure access administration**. It gives organizations a complete identity and access management (IAM) solution — controlling which users can read, create, edit, or delete data in each part of the system.

Built on **Nuxt.js 4** with server-side API routes, a **PostgreSQL** database (via Neon serverless), and **Drizzle ORM**, it is designed to be deployed as a SaaS product for companies that need fine-grained, profile-based access control.

## Key features

* **JWT authentication** — Cookie-based sessions with 8-hour token expiry and a global middleware that protects every route automatically.
* **Role-based access control (RBAC)** — Every action (view, add, edit, delete, detail) is gated per profile and per module through a permissions matrix.
* **User management** — Full CRUD for users, including active/inactive status and avatar uploads via Cloudinary.
* **Profile management** — Define roles (profiles) with an administrator flag and assign them to users.
* **Module management** — Register application modules and control access to them through the permissions matrix.
* **Permissions matrix** — A visual editor to assign bitwise permissions to any profile-module combination.
* **Cloudinary photo uploads** — Users can upload and manage profile photos with automatic compression.
* **Cloudflare Turnstile CAPTCHA** — Bot protection on the login form using Cloudflare's privacy-friendly challenge.
