----------------------------------------
Summary: Allow settings to apply to all users
Key: GUACAMOLE-1487
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-1487
Project: Guacamole
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: guacamole-client
Reporter: Nick Couchman
There are several existing Jira issues that seem to rely on being able to store
information or apply settings to all users of the Guacamole system. Presumably
this could be accomplish one (or both) of a couple of different ways:
* Add a guacamole_system_attributes table that can store arbitrary data that
can be used for the entire system. There is some precedent for this with the
guacamole_system_permission table, so I don't think it's a huge departure from
that. Presumably we'd also want to implement some graphical way to manage that
data.
* Add a global, built-in group - something like All_Users - that automatically
contains all users of the system, and to which permissions and attributes could
be applied through the use of the existing guacamole_user_group_* tables. This
would require that this group have an entry in the tables, but membership in
the group could either be enforced - that is, there would be no way to actually
remove a user from the group - or at least defaulted - where a user would be
added until explicitly removed. There are some other potential built-in groups
- like Sys Admins - that wouldn't be enforced or required, but might help to
allocate system-level permissions a bit better.
Curious what the thoughts/opinions are on either or both of these options.
