Design - Sneezembop/webdev-benjamin-miles GitHub Wiki

Our design includes many different types of users. Users include: admin, anonymous, space organizations, amateur astronomers, universities, and professional astronomers. Registered users (this excludes anonymous users), can follow and message other users. They can also comment and search others pictures and publications. Admin can perform all CRUD operations on all parts of the data model. All users can also upload their own pictures, but only professional astronomers can upload their own publications. Each publication or picture that is uploaded by a user may reference a celestial body or a celestial event. Pictures uploaded will be stored within an album. Celestial bodies can have celestial events or even other celestial bodies, for example, the Earth has it's own moon. Anonymous users can view and search the website, but cannot perform any other actions, such as messaging or commenting without registering.
