MongoDB - 3 types of roles - database

Question

I have a user model here that currently only have 2 possible roles. One is admin and one is regular user.
const userSchema = mongoose.Schema({
name: {
type: String,
required: true
},
email: {
type: String,
required: true,
unique: true
},
password: {
type: String,
required: true
},
isAdmin: {
type: Boolean,
required: true,
default: false
}
}, { timestamps: true
})
As you can see, if the isAdmin was set to true, it will automatically become an admin otherwise its a regular user.
But things change when I added a new role like: isOwner which is I added a new field again:
const userSchema = mongoose.Schema({
name: {
type: String,
required: true
},
email: {
type: String,
required: true,
unique: true
},
password: {
type: String,
required: true
},
isAdmin: {
type: Boolean,
required: true,
default: false
},
isOwner: {
type: Boolean,
required: true,
default: false
},, { timestamps: true
})
As you can see I added a new field isOwner at the top.
My question is given these three roles: isAdmin, isOwner and regular user, am I doing the right way to do this and manage 3 different roles? or is there a better way to do this?
Note: The way this works is that admin has the overall access to all of the job post of the owner while the regular user can only comment on the job post posted by the owner (who posted the job)

Answer 1

In future you may have more roles, It is best to use Array field for user roles.
array reference document
const userSchema = mongoose.Schema({
name: {
type: String,
required: true
},
email: {
type: String,
required: true,
unique: true
},
password: {
type: String,
required: true
},
isAdmin: {
type: Boolean,
required: true,
default: false
},
roles: {
type:[String],
required: true,
default:["regular"]
}
},
{ timestamps: true
})
