Improve user management with mass invites and an user api point. #4199

Closed jerrac closed 11 months ago

jerrac commented 3 years ago

I have need to add dozens of users to my Cachet instance. As far as I can tell, you can add users, setting their passwords and other information, or invite users.

Neither option is very easy to use when you get past 10 users.

My first suggestion is to modify the invite screen to use a textarea. Then admins could paste in lists of emails. Either 1 per line, or use a comma separated list. This would be good for anyone who doesn't mind the accounts being completely specific to their Catchet instance.

My second suggestion is to add an user api endpoint. This would let admins integrate with their other systems and keep the Catchet team member's up to date with whatever source they might use. This would let admins ensure that users are automatically removed, or added, when they should be, and automatically keep passwords up to date.

Let me know if I just missed something that would supersede these ideas. I did search the repo, and peruse the docs and code to try and find a way to do what I want. :)

Thanks!
