Its looking more and more like I'll need to be able to access the contributor service from the JBoss Developer build. I'd prefer to only use one user if possible to handle all communication with the DCP/Searchisko. Currently I believe only the jbossorg user is the only superuser. How do we go about adding another one? I did some searching in the code base and configuration files but didn't see anything, maybe I missed it. Any thoughts? _______________________________________________ searchisko-dev mailing list searchisko-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/searchisko-dev

What I'm looking to do right now is simply access the GET /rest/v1/contributor endpoint during site gen to pull the list of contributors we know about. I could do the search (still requiring the superuser) one at a time, but I'd really prefer to do a bulk request once than many small requests. Ideally we'd be able to add information about the user which may not be in the DCP (twitter handle, gravatar, etc.), but that isn't a must have that right now. Honestly the authorization scheme currently in place in searchisko is a bit sub par (all or nothing). I've noticed we're using CAS and some role based checking scheme, further fleshing this out to be a bit more fine grained (at least read permissions for other trusted users) would be very helpful. ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Lukas Vlcek" <lvlcek(a)redhat.com&gt; > To: "Jason Porter" <jporter(a)redhat.com&gt; > Cc: searchisko-dev(a)lists.jboss.org, "Libor Krzyžanek" <lkrzyzan(a)redhat.com&gt;, "Vlastimil Elias" <velias(a)redhat.com&gt; > Sent: Thursday, February 13, 2014 8:12:16 AM > Subject: Re: [searchisko-dev] adding a superuser? > > Hi Jason, > > if I understand correctly you want to use > http://docs.jbossorg.apiary.io/#managementapicontributors API but you would > prefer using different account than the superuser (jbossorg by default), > right?
