Suggestion: SMS commands permission #3299

Open briggz84 opened 7 years ago

briggz84 commented 7 years ago

Not sure if this is already available - a selectable permission check box in server settings which disables/enables users from sending device commands via SMS.

We currently have SMS available for certain important notifications, but are finding some users are sending unnecessary commands via SMS which is running up the bill.

Thanks

I am thinking that we should implement something more generic. For example, we can have limits for incoming and outgoing SMS per user. This will help in cases when user gets too many notifications as well.

jon-stumpf commented 7 years ago

Having limits per user would be nice but having the ability to choose which users can send SMS is something that I would like as well. My preference would be for a User Manager to control which users can send SMS.

tananaev commented 7 years ago

I don't see the difference. Limit is more generic. You can always set it to 0 to disable SMS for a particular user. Why would we need another separate flag for disabling SMS?

jon-stumpf commented 7 years ago

I did not think about setting the limit to zero. And, the User Manager would only have this ability to set the limits, correct?

tananaev commented 7 years ago

I guess it makes sense to allow manager to configure it.

briggz84 commented 7 years ago

I agree that the idea of SMS limitation would be beneficial with the added benefit of a 0 value disabling that user from any SMS. However, how would this effect SMS commands and SMS notifications separately? Is this what we define as incoming and outgoing SMS?

tananaev commented 7 years ago

Yes, I think those should be separate.

Command limitation was implemented. Issue can be closed.

tananaev commented 3 months ago

This is not implemented yet.
