Hello everyone,
I would like to know what people's feelings are about the ability of
subadmins (a.k.a. group admins) to create new user accounts. Should
all subadmins always be able to do that? Or should that privilege
require explicit permission from the (super) admin, possibly on an
individual basis.
Hi!
I believe use cases vastly differ.
I would prefer the super admin being able to decide, whether the group
admin may create users.
However, there are a number of other questions regarding groups and
their administration.
* As of now, IF a group admin knows the exact user ID of another user on
the system, s/he may actually add this user to his/her group by
"creating" a userID with a random password.
** Is this desirable?
* The group admin may also extend or reduce the user's quota.
** In my view this is definitely undesirable. The quota should stick at
the default setting, or even better, the site admin should set a group
quota.
* Group quota: Here we go!
** there is a feature request: https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/1347
** Now in my view, existing users should be exempt from the group quota;
after all they may be members of various groups.
Lots of difficult questions.
Yours,
Erwin
I am asking because I see a conflict here, between using groups with
subadmins and the admin's desire to manage the whole user base with
user backends.
Since I would like to have both, I would be willing to implement the
necessary changes, but I would like to know the exact requirements
first and whether this has any chance of making it to the core.
Cheers, Andreas _______________________________________________
