Summary: Support creation of selfservice users
Key: FINERACT-787
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-787
Project: Apache Fineract
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: User Management
Reporter: Peter Kakoma
*Background*
A self-service user is a staff user assigned to a specific role which can
perform certain actions. These users are used to login to the self-service web
and mobile applications. The challenge is that there's no user-friendly way of
creating a self-service user.
*Where we are now*
There's currently [an open PR
|https://github.com/openMF/community-app/pull/2139]to the community app that
allows the creation of a self-service user. In it, self-service user creation
is done using the same API used to create a back-office user but while
specifying a _self-service role_ in the API call.
First, an API call is made to retrieve all available roles. These roles are
presented to the admin who then selects which one is the self service role.
With the role selected, an API call is made to create the self service user.
*The problem*
Since the admin is presented with all roles, if they select a wrong role [a
non self-service role], the user will have more/less rights than they ought to.
*The proposed solution*
The solution is three-fold
1. Create a different template resource in the API which returns only the
self-service related roles. Ref [
#[https://demo.openmf.org/api-docs/apiLive.htm#users_template]] i.e. Besides
'availableRoles', add a 'selfServiceRoles' in the returned data
2. With that done, update the open PR to use `selfServiceRoles`
3. The API call to create the self-service user is made to a custom endpoint,
POST
[https://DomainName/api/v1/users/self|https://domainname/api/v1/users/self],
that evaluates that the role specified is a self-service role and then proceeds
to create the user.
This card is to propose that items 1 and 3 are added to the fineract. I'm on
hand to explore implementing the card if this is accepted.
