Hi,
Start point is this jira https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AGPUSH-282 for
allowing the creation of additional users/developers.
In the current situation we have just one role : "developer" , so the
first question is :
- Should a user with the role "developer" be able to create another user ?
not sure an ordinary should be able to create other users
- Should we introduce a "admin" role that can manage users
(create, reset
password, delete) ?
+1 on that
- A mix of permissions ? (a developer can create other users but not
remove them nor reset (except its own) password )
not sure on mixing. Do you have something concrete in mind?
I think it would be good if a 'developer' could be promoted to be come an
'admin' (to give an example);
From there the second question regarding password management :
In the current situation, our default user (called "admin" , yeah a bit
confusing :) ) has a temporary password that must be changed the first time
he logs in.
- Do we want to keep this ?
- Shall we move to a script that creates a user(s) ?
yeah, we have also a bug for removing what we currently have and replacing
it with something more powerful:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AGPUSH-223
- When we add a user through the admin UI, should we provide a password or
should it be generated and changed on first login ?
I like the idea from Bruno of sending an email, containing an URL for
changing the password;
In other words, I think we must concretely spec out the user management
for the UPS and we could use this thread to discuss that !
That would be great!
