+# Plan: Members Count Fix & Operator-Only Filters
+
+**Date:** 2026-05-11
+**Status:** Draft
+
+## Problem
+
+Two related issues with member/operator display in the UI:
+
+1. **Members page count mismatch** — The badge in the upper-right corner of the Members page shows a higher count than the total of operators and members actually listed. Profiles that have neither the `operator` nor `member` role (e.g., admins with only the `admin` role, or users with no roles at all) are counted in the badge but not displayed in any group.
+
+2. **Filter dropdowns show all members instead of operators only** — The "Member" filter on Nodes, Advertisements, and Map pages lists all non-test profiles. Since only operators can adopt nodes, this filter should only show operators and the label should read "Operator" not "Member".
+
+## Root Cause Analysis
+
+### Issue 1: Members Page Count
+
+In `members.js`:
+
+- Line 74: Fetches profiles from `/api/v1/user/profiles` (excludes test users by default)
+- Line 77: Client-side defense-in-depth filter removes remaining test-role profiles
+- Line 100: Badge shows `profiles.length` — **all** non-test profiles
+- Lines 92-95: Only `operators` (have operator role) and `members` (have member role but NOT operator) are rendered as groups
+
+A profile with `roles = ["admin"]` or `roles = []` passes the test filter, is counted in the badge, but is invisible on the page — it appears in neither the Operators nor Members group.
+
+### Issue 2: Filter Dropdowns
+
+In `nodes.js` (line 60), `advertisements.js` (line 67), and `map.js` (line 121/126):
+
+- All fetch `/api/v1/user/profiles` with `limit: 500`
+- All render every profile in the dropdown using label `filter_member_label` ("Member") and all-option `all_members` ("All Members")
+- The `adopted_by` parameter filters nodes by the adopting profile's UUID — only operators can adopt nodes, so showing non-operators in the dropdown is misleading (selecting a non-operator who hasn't adopted any nodes returns zero results)
+
+## Approach
+
+### Fix 1: Members Page Count — Only Count Displayed Profiles
+
+**File:** `src/meshcore_hub/web/static/js/spa/pages/members.js`
+
+Change the badge to show the sum of operators + members actually displayed, not the total of all profiles:
+
+```javascript
+// Before (line 100):
+${t('common.count_entity', { count: profiles.length, entity: t('entities.members').toLowerCase() })}
+
+// After:
+${t('common.count_entity', { count: operators.length + members.length, entity: t('entities.members').toLowerCase() })}
+```
+
+This makes the count reflect exactly what is rendered on the page. The `operators` and `members` variables are already computed at lines 92-95, before the `litRender` call at line 97. No structural change needed — only the expression on line 100 changes.
+
+**Change:** Replace `profiles.length` with `operators.length + members.length` on line 100.
+
+### Fix 2: Operator-Only Filter Dropdowns
+
+For all three pages (Nodes, Advertisements, Map), filter the profiles list to only show operators and update labels.
+
+#### 2a. Add i18n Keys
+
+**Files:** `src/meshcore_hub/web/static/locales/en.json`, `nl.json`, `docs/i18n.md`
+
+Add new keys under `common`:
+
+```json
+"all_operators": "All Operators",
+"filter_operator_label": "Operator"
+```
+
+These replace the usage of `all_members` and `filter_member_label` in the filter dropdowns.
+
+Dutch translations:
+```json
+"all_operators": "Alle Operators",
+"filter_operator_label": "Operator"
+```
+
+Update `docs/i18n.md` with the new keys following the existing format.
+
+#### 2b. Nodes Page
+
+**File:** `src/meshcore_hub/web/static/js/spa/pages/nodes.js`
+
+After fetching profiles (line 64), filter to operators only:
+
+```javascript
+const operatorRole = config.role_names?.operator || 'operator';
+const profiles = config.oidc_enabled
+ ? (results[1]?.items || []).filter(p => p.roles && p.roles.includes(operatorRole))
+ : [];
+```
+
+Update the filter dropdown (lines 149-166):
+- Change label from `t('common.filter_member_label')` to `t('common.filter_operator_label')`
+- Change all-option from `t('common.all_members')` to `t('common.all_operators')`
+
+#### 2c. Advertisements Page
+
+**File:** `src/meshcore_hub/web/static/js/spa/pages/advertisements.js`
+
+Same pattern as Nodes. After fetching profiles (line 72), filter to operators:
+
+```javascript
+const operatorRole = config.role_names?.operator || 'operator';
+const profiles = config.oidc_enabled
+ ? (results[2]?.items || []).filter(p => p.roles && p.roles.includes(operatorRole))
+ : [];
+```
+
+Update the filter dropdown (lines 199-216) with the same label changes.
+
+#### 2d. Map Page
+
+**File:** `src/meshcore_hub/web/static/js/spa/pages/map.js`
+
+The map page gets profiles from `/map/data` (server-side fetch). Two options:
+
+**Option A (recommended): Client-side filtering** — Filter `profiles` after receiving from `/map/data`:
+
+```javascript
+const operatorRole = config.role_names?.operator || 'operator';
+const operatorProfiles = profiles.filter(p => p.roles && p.roles.includes(operatorRole));
+```
+
+Then use `operatorProfiles` in the dropdown instead of `profiles`. Update the dropdown label (line 222) and all-option (line 224).
+
+**Option B: Server-side filtering** — Add a `?operators_only=true` parameter to `/map/data`. More robust but requires changes to the web app route handler.
+
+Chosen: **Option A** — consistent with the other pages, simpler, and the profiles data is already available in the frontend with role information.
+
+> **Note:** The `/map/data` endpoint currently fetches profiles without explicit `exclude_test=false`, so test users are already excluded by the API default. No server-side change needed for test exclusion. However, the profiles returned by `/map/data` only include `id`, `name`, and `callsign` (lines 723-727 of `web/app.py`) — they do NOT include `roles`. This means client-side filtering by role is **not possible** on the map page without a server-side change.
+
+**Updated approach for Map page:** Modify the `/map/data` endpoint in `web/app.py` to include `roles` in the profile data, OR filter server-side to only return operator profiles. The simpler fix is to include `roles` in the profile dict:
+
+```python
+# web/app.py line 723-727, add roles:
+profiles_by_id[profile["id"]] = {
+ "id": profile.get("id"),
+ "name": profile.get("name"),
+ "callsign": profile.get("callsign"),
+ "roles": profile.get("roles", []), # ADD
+}
+```
+
+Then the frontend can filter by role just like the other pages.
+
+### Summary of Changes
+
+| File | Change |
+|------|--------|
+| `src/meshcore_hub/web/static/js/spa/pages/members.js` | Badge counts `operators.length + members.length` instead of `profiles.length` |
+| `src/meshcore_hub/web/static/js/spa/pages/nodes.js` | Filter profiles to operators; update dropdown labels |
+| `src/meshcore_hub/web/static/js/spa/pages/advertisements.js` | Filter profiles to operators; update dropdown labels |
+| `src/meshcore_hub/web/static/js/spa/pages/map.js` | Filter profiles to operators; update dropdown labels |
+| `src/meshcore_hub/web/app.py` | Include `roles` in profiles dict returned by `/map/data` |
+| `src/meshcore_hub/web/static/locales/en.json` | Add `all_operators` and `filter_operator_label` keys |
+| `src/meshcore_hub/web/static/locales/nl.json` | Add Dutch translations for new keys |
+| `docs/i18n.md` | Document new `all_operators` and `filter_operator_label` keys |
+
+### Tests to Update
+
+| Test File | Change |
+|-----------|--------|
+| `tests/test_common/test_i18n.py` | Add tests for new `all_operators` and `filter_operator_label` keys |
+| `tests/test_web/` | Verify map data includes roles in profiles; verify operator filtering |
+
+### Edge Cases
+
+- **No operators exist** — Filter dropdown should not appear (same as current "no profiles" guard)
+- **User has both operator and admin roles** — Should appear in the operator dropdown (has operator role)
+- **User has member role only** — Should NOT appear in the operator filter dropdown
+- **Map page profile filtering** — Must work even though map profiles have minimal data (just id/name/callsign/roles)
+
+### Out of Scope
+
+- API-level operator filtering (e.g., `?role=operator` parameter on `/api/v1/user/profiles`) — client-side filtering is sufficient
+- Refactoring the filter dropdown into a shared component
+- Changes to the Members page grouping logic (admin-only users still won't appear in either group)
+
+## Implementation Order
+
+1. Add `all_operators` and `filter_operator_label` to `en.json`, `nl.json`, and `docs/i18n.md`
+2. Fix Members page count badge (`members.js`)
+3. Filter to operators in Nodes page (`nodes.js`) and update labels
+4. Filter to operators in Advertisements page (`advertisements.js`) and update labels
+5. Add `roles` to map data profiles (`web/app.py`)
+6. Filter to operators in Map page (`map.js`) and update labels
+7. Update i18n tests
+8. Run `pre-commit run --all-files` and `pytest`
