Administration Module Specification¶

Purpose¶

The administration module implements the Administration Domain inside the Spring Boot Modulith. It owns platform administration workflows, configuration records, feature flags, support cases, tenant administration views, audit reviews, governance decisions, policy configuration records, integration configuration records, admin dashboards, and admin action records.

Owned Domain¶

Administration owns configuration and governance workflows, not source facts. It may coordinate and reference Identity, Billing, Organization, Notification, Analytics, Integration, and source-domain records, but enforcement and source fact ownership remain with owning domains.

Owned Aggregates¶

Aggregate	Responsibility
Platform Configuration	Platform-level settings, scope, version, status, effective dates, and approvals.
Feature Flag	Flag key, rollout state, targeting rules, emergency disable state, and history.
Support Case	Support request, customer references, priority, notes, assignment, and resolution.
Tenant Administration View	Admin-facing view model and support context for a tenant.
Policy Configuration	Administrative records that configure policy inputs for target domains.
Audit Review	Review workflow over audit events, evidence references, findings, and decisions.
Operational Governance	Governance decisions, exceptions, approvals, and administrative controls.
Integration Configuration	Integration type, scope, status, and non-secret configuration references.
Admin Dashboard	Admin dashboard composition and approved data references.

Owned Entities¶

Platform Configuration, Feature Flag, Support Case, Tenant Administration View, Audit Review, Operational Governance Record, Admin Dashboard, Policy Configuration Record, Integration Configuration, Admin Action, and Admin Note.

Owned Value Objects¶

ConfigurationKey, ConfigurationScope, ConfigurationVersion, FeatureFlagKey, RolloutState, SupportPriority, SupportStatus, AdminActionResult, PolicyConfigStatus, AuditReviewStatus, GovernanceDecisionType, IntegrationType, SourceReference, TenantReference, and EffectiveDateRange.

Commands¶

Command	Responsibility

TriageSupportCase	Set priority, assignment, and workflow path.
ResolveSupportCase	Record resolution and closure context.
UpdateTenantAdministrationView	Refresh admin-facing tenant view metadata.
OpenAuditReview	Start review over audit evidence references.
RecordAuditFinding	Record finding with severity and evidence.
RecordGovernanceDecision	Record approval, exception, override, rejection, or escalation.
ChangePolicyConfiguration	Version policy input for a target domain.
UpdateIntegrationConfiguration	Change integration configuration record without exposing secrets.
RecordAdminAction	Append auditable admin action result.

Queries¶

Query	Responsibility

GetFeatureFlags	Return feature flag rollout state.
GetSupportCases	Return support cases by tenant, priority, or status.
GetTenantAdministrationView	Return admin tenant context by OrganizationId.
GetAuditReviews	Return audit review workflow state.
GetGovernanceRecords	Return governance decisions and exceptions.
GetPolicyConfigurations	Return target-domain policy configuration records.
GetIntegrationConfigurations	Return non-secret integration configuration metadata.

GetAdminActions	Return auditable admin action records.

Application Services¶

PlatformConfigurationApplicationService, FeatureFlagApplicationService, SupportCaseApplicationService, TenantAdministrationApplicationService, AuditReviewApplicationService, GovernanceApplicationService, PolicyConfigurationApplicationService, IntegrationConfigurationApplicationService, AdminDashboardApplicationService, and AdminActionApplicationService.

Domain Services¶

AdminAuthorizationService, ConfigurationChangeService, FeatureFlagRolloutService, EmergencyDisableService, SupportTriageService, TenantAdministrationAccessService, AuditReviewService, GovernanceExceptionService, PolicyConfigurationApprovalService, and IntegrationConfigurationService.

Policies¶

Admin Authorization Policy, Configuration Change Policy, Feature Flag Rollout Policy, Emergency Disable Policy, Support Triage Policy, Tenant Administration Access Policy, Audit Review Policy, Governance Exception Policy, Policy Configuration Approval Policy, and Integration Configuration Policy.

Repositories¶

PlatformConfigurationRepository, FeatureFlagRepository, SupportCaseRepository, SupportCaseNoteRepository, TenantAdministrationViewRepository, PolicyConfigurationRepository, AuditReviewRepository, GovernanceRecordRepository, IntegrationConfigurationRepository, AdminDashboardRepository, AdminActionRepository, and AdministrationAuditRepository.

Events Published¶

PlatformConfigurationCreated, PlatformConfigurationUpdated, FeatureFlagCreated, FeatureFlagUpdated, SupportCaseCreated, SupportCaseResolved, TenantAdministrationViewUpdated, PolicyConfigurationChanged, AuditReviewOpened, AuditFindingRecorded, GovernanceDecisionRecorded, IntegrationConfigurationUpdated, and AdminActionRecorded.

Events Consumed¶

UserSignedIn, AuthorizationDecisionRecorded, BillingAccountCreated, SubscriptionSuspended, OrganizationRegistered, OrganizationSuspended, NotificationFailed, InsightCreated, IntelligenceAuditLogged, PaymentFailed, IntegrationFailureRecorded, and AdministrativePolicyChanged.

REST API Responsibility¶

The module owns API responsibilities for platform configuration, feature flags, support cases, tenant administration views, audit reviews, governance decisions, policy configuration, integration configuration, admin dashboards, and admin action records. Final endpoint specs are deferred.

Database Ownership¶

Administration owns conceptual persistence for platform configurations, feature flags, support cases, support notes, tenant administration views, policy configurations, audit reviews, governance records, integration configurations, admin dashboards, admin actions, and administration audit logs.

Module Dependencies¶

Allowed dependencies are shared kernel identifiers, identity authorization and admin action context, billing admin references, organization tenant references, notification support communication requests, analytics admin dashboard inputs, integration services, and source-domain audit/event references.

Forbidden Dependencies¶

Administration must not own source-domain facts, bypass Identity authorization, mutate Billing commercial facts directly, replace Analytics reporting models, send Notification deliveries directly, store secrets in plaintext, or become a shared dumping ground for unrelated operational data.

AIOS Interaction Boundary¶

AIOS may summarize support cases, propose governance review priorities, explain admin dashboards, or recommend configuration review. Administration owns approval, configuration, governance, and audit review workflow state.

Security And Tenant Rules¶

Every admin action requires Identity authorization before execution.
Tenant administration views must use OrganizationId references and must not duplicate organization profile facts as source data.
Sensitive configuration must use non-secret references and approved secrets management.
Governance exceptions require reason, authority, expiry or review date, and audit trail.
Admin notes must follow privacy, classification, and retention rules.

Test Strategy¶

Tests must cover admin authorization, configuration versioning, feature flag rollout, emergency disable, support triage, tenant view authorization, audit review, governance exceptions, policy configuration approval, integration configuration safety, admin action audit, event publication, idempotent event consumption, tenant filtering, and Spring Modulith boundaries.

Future Microservice Extraction Notes¶

Administration can be extracted after governance workflows stabilize. Extraction requires stable identity authorization contracts, policy configuration events, tenant view contracts, audit review retention, integration configuration boundaries, and no direct ownership of source-domain stores.
