User & Technician Management API A robust and secure RESTful API built with the Laravel framework, designed to manage user and technician profiles. This project provides a complete backend solution for platforms requiring role-based authentication, profile management, and administrative oversight, such as a service booking application or a support platform.

Key Features Authentication & Authorization Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): The system enforces distinct roles for Administrators, Technicians, and Users, ensuring each role has access only to its designated API endpoints.

Secure Authentication: Utilizes a modern Laravel authentication system (e.g., Sanctum, Passport) to handle user registration and login securely.

Profile Management Self-Service Profiles: Users and Technicians can register and manage their own profiles, including personal details.

Admin Control: Administrators have comprehensive control to manage all users and technicians within the system.

Core Functionalities User & Technician Registration: Separate registration processes for both user types.

Admin Approval: A key feature where Administrators can approve newly registered technicians, bringing them into the active system.

User Management: Admin-level endpoints for managing users (e.g., deleting, deactivating, or blocking accounts).

Communication Oversight: The system provides mechanisms for administrators to monitor and manage communication channels between users and technicians.
