Credential System, with support for automated contribution workflow #11

A user credential system could prove handy for the Repository. Especially if it could support an automated item contribution workflow.

However, storing user passwords can prove a major security risk. Hence, developing such a system will take time and will require very thorough testing.

An outline for a possible design is detailed here.

Otherwise, shinyapps.io also offers user authentication services.
