I've initiated the ERD, but I'm currently deliberating on the most effective approach for handling permissions. After some consideration, I've devised two proposals. The first involves utilizing either an integer field or a string to store permissions with BITWISE. The second, a more straightforward method, entails creating a dedicated permissions table along with an intermediary table to establish connections between permissions and users.
I'm open to any additional suggestions or insights you might have on this matter. Your input is highly appreciated!
