Roles

This document describes account-level roles in Meo Mai Moi.

Principles

Roles must follow the project philosophy in Philosophy:

no paywalled core features
no artificial limitations designed to push upgrades
same core product for everyone who cares for animals

`premium` (support role)

premium is a support role, not a separate product tier.

What it means:

it may be shown as a supporter badge/status
it does not unlock exclusive app features
it must not create a "free app vs premium app" split

Current resource ceilings (configurable in admin):

default users (no premium role): 50 MB photo storage
premium users: 5 GB photo storage

Behavior:

limits are enforced on all authenticated image upload endpoints
when a non-premium user reaches the limit, uploads are blocked and the UI shows an upgrade/support dialog
core feature access remains the same for premium and non-premium users

In short: premium can change resource ceilings, but never the core feature set.
