Share resources typing the email address

[odeimaiz]

User Story

• Public Profile preference (be reachable via email. enabled or disabled by default?)
• When sharing, I type the email
  • Frontend makes a request with the email GET users:search?{email}, and if the recipient has the Public Profile enabled (or an allowed list, matching domain), it returns the profile
• When listing a shared resource, if there is an unknown gid, the frontend makes a request GET users/{gid} and:
  • if the recipient has the Public Profile, it returns the profile: it can be listed nicely
  • if not, it is shown as an anonymous user

Definition of Done

### Event Horizon
- [ ] Expose username, also PATCH
- [ ] Public Profile checkbox (hide email, first name, last name and gravatar)
- [ ] users:seach?usename=${typeong_username}
- [ ] users?group_id${gid}

### Tasks

New User Story Idea of an alternative User Story

• Public Profile preference ("show my email", disabled by default)
• When I want to share something, I start typing a user name or an email
• When I am typing, I see the list of matching users that are visible to me (e.g. because they belong to the same organisation)
• There is a mention below or above the typing field stating that I can type an email address
• If I select an existing user, the validation button is "Share"
• If I type a non-existing (or not-visible-to-me) email address, the button shows "Send Invitation"

Behaviour when "Send Invitation" is pressed:

• An email is sent at the email addresses that was entered

• A notification is shown, stating that "an invitation to access project/study {name} has been sent to {email}"

• The email contains

  • an invitation (i.e. a link) to access the Study/Project {study.Name}
  • a sentence describing what osparc (or sim4life, or TIP, etc...) is about and a line like "If you do not already have an account, request one here"
  • a sentence with "If you believe you received this email by error, please contact {product.support-email}."

• If the email recipient clicks on the invitation link:

  • he/she has to login (if not done already), on the main login/landing page of the product. Note that the email address used to login CAN be different than the one used in the invitation email.
  • he/she sees the usual notification in the platform "study/project {name} has been shared with you by {sharer.name}"

• else:

  • the study/project is NOT (yet) shared
  • the "sharing" can be marked as "pending", if that concept already somehow exists (TBD)

[EDIT] After discussion with Odei, it seems the "tentative" user story above is too ambitious and costly to implement, sadly. We can therefore implement the original user story first, as it closes a gap and should be much much simpler.

We can decide how to proceed later...
