Multiple users for an install

Open croxis opened this issue 7 years ago • 4 comments

Apologies if this is int he documentation, I couldn't find an answer in there.

Is there support for multiple users for a single install? My spouse would like to also use my paperless install, but they would like to keep manage their documents with their own account.

I don't think Paperless supports multiple accounts with separate documents. How should the consumer know which account the document is for? If privacy is not an issue, you can create a label for every person and have it detect your names. Another solution would be to setup multiple instances.

I have cobbled together a draft which adds multi-user functionality You have to upload the file via the web form in order for it to work. https://github.com/the-paperless-project/paperless/pull/548#issue-285474090

one sub folder for each user?

Not sure if there was any progress or discussion made on this? I have the same use case as OP. Ideally one installation per house, then routing scans to a user folder.
