Look inside

In this liveProject, you’ll establish functionalities to provide role-based authorization for leave requests made through a Personal Time Off API. Using the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), you’ll set up access controls so that only managers and other authorized users can retrieve non-personal leave records and approve leave requests.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
