Public solver role access

[r-bartlett-gsa]

User Story

As a user with a public solver role, in order to submit my solution to a challenge, I would like to be able to access appropriate sections of the site upon login.

Acceptance criteria:

• There are no layout or functional changes for the public solver's role:
  • When a user with a public solver role logs in, they are sent to the Public Solver's dashboard on the Phoenix app
  • When the user selects "Apply for this challenge" on the challenge listing page, the system assumes that the user is public solver and they are routed to an appropriate app
  • The public solver only has access to the Phoenix app
• Will revisit if this is needed. Make a ticket If any other user who does not have a public solver's role assigned to them tries to access public solver role specific features, they are redirected to their /dashboard (based on their assigned role) and an error message is displayed: "You do not have access to this section of Challenge.gov."

Development tasks:

• Add role-based permission check to routes #158

If any other user who does not have a public solver's role assigned to them select "Solve Challenges" task, they are displayed an error message (along with task selection): "You do not have access to this task. Please select a different task, or contact Challenge.gov support team for assistance."

How does a public solver have the role assigned? Shouldn't any user of the system have access to be a public solver?

@stepchud Currently, if you do not have .gov or .mil email account, your role is set to public solver by default. But if you do have a .gov or .mil email account, your role is set to challenge manager, and you would have to request your role to be changed to public solver if you want to solve challenges (to avoid conflict of interest).

I found a small cross browser issue for PC/Edge and PC/Chrome in the login process and will update the correct card.
