Games can be configured to be open for observers or not, and whether new viewers join automatically #227

Presumably this means that the GetUserIdsForGame will actually just be a GetGameExtra() that holds all of the extra stuff about a game that only server cares about

Originally captured in #71

If it's not open in general, perhaps in the future allowing listing observer ids

jkomoros commented 7 years ago

Implies there's a storage.getGameMetaData or something to hold things like owner and these settings

jkomoros commented 7 years ago

This implies that we need a security handler on view game, which knows about this config to let people through

jkomoros commented 7 years ago

Another option is to have server.GameStorageRecord, which embeds boardgame.GameStorageRecord but also includes things like HasEmptySlots, Users, Open.

Which would imply that UserIdsForGame would be subsumed by GameMetaData or something

[ ] Game view should be ACLd based on Open or not
[x] Game list should be ACLd based on visible or not (this is actually done just by which settings Server uses for ListGames
