Various ADMIN_USERs

Open supersambo opened this issue 10 years ago • 4 comments

Hi, this is just a small feature request. It would be great to be able to set more than one ADMIN_USER permission. I think this would make permission managment a lot easier, especially when giving away the passwords to students so they can try out and run their own queries.

Best, stephan

Hi Stephan,

could you describe your use case a bit more elaborately? What should the students be able to do? Just analysis or also starting new bins / deleting bins, ...

Best,

Erik

Hi Erik, I would like students to be able to start queries, because after monitoring the results for a while often its necessary to modify the queries add some words or remove some of them because you get a better feeling of whats going on and which words match the specific topic best. It think this is also a necessary and imortant part of the research process Afterwords I would like to be able to remove those permissions. But their might be other groups of persons I also granted permissions and I wouldn't want to remove theirs.

For now I would need to change the password and then inform my colleagues of the new password.

If ADMIN_USER was an array I just needed to delete one of two users with permission to add queries.

To be honest it's not a big issue but I just thought it wasn't a big deal to change this so I proposed to do so.

Best, stephan

Alright, understood. I'll leave the issue open but we'll first address some of the other features users have requested.

Current status is multiple admin users are possible. There are still no finer grained ACLs, though.
