Request for group based permissioning #97

Closed RC1245 closed 7 years ago

RC1245 commented 8 years ago

I wish to create an application which has multiple groups of users:

The groups will be: 1) Read-only (default) users. 2) Content Managers - These people create accounts for the users in group 1. 3) Administrators have full power

Any ideas how one could go ahead and create this?

hey there, sorry for the late response.

Can you explain the nature of your application a bit further? Do Content Managers create the data that the Read-only users can access? Do you need one or multiple administrators?

Technically Hoodie would be help with such a workflow today, but it will become simpler once we fully support plugins again.

RC1245 commented 8 years ago

Yes, the intention is that the content managers would create the data for the read only users, if the permissions could be managed on the similar leve of flexibility to UNIX file permissions that would make things much easier to manage.

Thanks for the input! It’s not top priority right now, but we will get back to you once we start thinking more about roles and shared data. I’m pretty sure that we can cover your use case with Hoodie in future

we now have an API to create databses which allows to grant/revoke access based on roles: https://github.com/hoodiehq/hoodie-account-server-api
