GoFr-SOC: Template Track – Account Service with RBAC

[SilentCanary]

hey GoFr team,
I’ll be working on an Account Service with Declarative Hierarchical RBAC as part of the GoFr Summer of Code Template Track.

This service will handle user registration, authentication using JWT, and middleware-based role-based access control. It will also support API registration from other services with version tracking and role-to-API mapping.

---

🧩 What I Plan to Build in My First PR

For my first PR, I will:

• Initialise the Gofr project. (main.go, go.mod)
• Add a /health endpoint to confirm the service is running.
  (This will use a clean service-controller file which I may later reuse to handle RabbitMQ messages from other services, if that’s a valid design choice. It could help make inter-service communication with the Account service faster and more scalable. Would love to know your thoughts on this!)
• Set up directory structure (handler, service, store)
• Add README and initial instructions

This will form the foundation for all future development.
