Unit/Company Manager functionality #75

Open LunaMiaHun opened 9 years ago

LunaMiaHun commented 9 years ago

Might be nice to give units/companies a way to request manager/founder access and help take some of the responsibility and maintenance off of the Kingdom PM's and Admins.

Currently as I understand it the only way to gain manager/founder access and be able to delete and add new members for your company/house or to "convert" a company to a household is to contact your Kingdom PM.

It would be nice to give an option to either send a request directly from the ork or to grant access based on some specific criteria(I'm not sure what these would be).

Forgive me if this has already been addressed or their is an existing ticket.

A general way to contact KPMs more directly, or local PMs has been discussed before, though I dont think it ever got a formal listing. It might be worth simply adding something on each parks page with the park PMs email address (and phone number?), visible to everyone.

Yeah I think that would definitely help give user's who are having trouble someone to contact. However that might also cause the KPM to get a lot of emails and phone calls about issues completely unrelated and end up making things harder on the KPMs. Maybe a request company admin access button or mini form that notifies the KPMs without showing the contact information directly?

I think that might be our best bet. This helps protect their privacy as well. Have a button that sends the KPM an email saying "Such and such has requested access." Have the message include the email address of the person requesting access so that the KPM can reach out to them if they'd like.

The old ORK listed emails for each park PM, and I dont think there was any spam issue from it. It also listed phone numbers, though both of those were optional fields. . It would allow you to contact the park PM if say, you traveled and they put your point in wrong, or something, as well. it is less needed today than it used to be, but I think if we are going to add email addresses on anywhere, adding them to each park is probably the best bet. Maybe just a field that under directions on the main park page, that lists contacts?

That might work. We could do some crazy Javascript stuff to make the emails less accessible to bots (though obviously not completely unreadable).

If email addresses are only visible to logged-in users, that eliminates 99% of bot scraping vectors.
