Feature Request: Advanced Guest Sharing Options

Open rallisf1 opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Here are some sharing options that could be implemented:

  • Usage time sharing: Share this device for X hours and count down the hours based on the actual usage
  • PIN code: Request an additional pin for extra security
  • Email address: Send the link/pin to the guest user via email
  • Single Session: Share this device one time only regardless of the time period
  • Ability to renew the share link with the same settings (e.g. for the same hours or for one more session). This requires a bit of restructuring as you will need to keep the expired shares in the db and have a setting to auto-delete them after X days.

I have no particular use-case for the above, apart from the email field which will be really handy. The "Usage time sharing" actually mimics how internet cafe software works.

All good suggestions, but I am currently swamped with requests and can't keep up. For the email, you would want to URL to be sent... but would the PIN code be in the email? I imagine not.

I can only imagine. No hurry from my side.

Good thinking, the pin code can easily be shared by phone/chat, the link is more of an issue.
