Description

Hi, I want to setup a self-hosted instance for a closed group of users. My current solution would be to hide it behind Basic-Auth but allowed users can still create random Accounts. Therefore I need an user administration, meaning only the admin can manage the users

  • create new users; this can include the social-auth methods (e.g. confirm account).
  • delete users
  • block users (only disable login)
  • no guest mode (#237)

Optional features could be

  • custom names (independent of email-address/social-name) (#268)
  • user management with LDAP / PAM (#93)
    • store social-credentials in LDAP (Network, Username, ...)
  • use login credentials from Basic-Auth

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the current authentication and user model in the codebase. Identify how users are created and managed, and understand the existing role/permission system. Then design an admin panel with endpoints for creating, deleting, and blocking users, and implement the necessary UI. Start by examining models/User.js and routes/auth.js.
