As a pantry admin, I want to be able to sign up for a Pantry Pickup account so that I can administer my food pantry.

I also want to be able to check if my food pantry is already in the system
If my pantry is already in the system, I want to be able to claim it.
Question: How do we verify authenticity in this case? Can we even?

carpeliam commented 9 years ago

can a PP admin can do the verification offline? or does it need to be hands-off by PP admins?

WheresHJ commented 9 years ago

@carpeliam Yeah, I'm not sure how to do the verification at this point. It probably speaks to some sort of offline, manual process. @isaacchansky and I were talking about some sort of verified / not-verified flag in the DB. Also, we need to think about how I sign up with a new pantry vs how I associate myself with an existing one in the system.

To start, we'll most likely be working with a small set of pilot pantry users, so we may not have to worry about it too much, but it's probably prudent to have some sort of protections in place.

Sounds good. There's code in place in #75 to go in whatever direction we want to go in, so as soon as we nail down some user stories, we can write the code to support that.
