- `/signin` - Accepts username, password, returns a session cookie
- `/signout` - logs user out, automatically done with the help of cookies (session.destroy)
- `/signup` - creates a new user. accept following information of a user (User Type)
- A User:
- Name
- Password
- Email
- Org name?
- Role (profession)
- packages you can refer to generate cookies: [express-session](https://github.com/expressjs/session)
