Summary

Establishes a single source of truth for role metadata and route/scope helpers in the authz module, removing duplicated hardcoded role lists and unused constants.

This is the base PR of a larger cleanup; subsequent PR build on top of it (I will open it soon and reference it).

What & why

  • Roles derived from one source. MAP_ROLE_KEY_TO_LABEL and getRolesFiltersOptions are now generated from allRolesMetadata instead of separate lists, so adding/renaming a role only happens in one place.
  • Centralized route/scope helpers, instead of inline string checks.
    • Introduces buildUserPath(), getScopeContextType(), and the SUPERUSER_ROLE/GLOBAL_STAFF_ROLE/DJANGO_MANAGED_ROLES constants.
    • Updates GLOBAL_STAFF_ROLE to match backend.
    • Replaces the standalone AUTHZ_HOME_PATH with ROUTES.HOME_PATH.
  • Stronger typing. Adds a ContextType = 'course' | 'library' union and applies it to RoleMetadata.contextType and the wizard scope hooks, replacing loose string.
  • Removes dead constants. Drops SKELETON_ROWS, RoleOperationErrorStatus, RESOURCE_TYPES/ResourceType.
  • Move the url for ADMIN_URL inside the component, the value needs to be resolved at runtime otherwise will not redirect properly.
  • Straighten the Role validation in RenderAdminRole and display the right message.
  • Minor dedup. formatRoleAssignmentError now resolves messages via a KNOWN_ERRORS lookup instead of an if-chain.
