"Authenticated Users" Virtual Group / Role
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. For some of our events we would like to make them visible to everybody with an account on our indico system (be it ldap, be it local to indico).
Describe the solution you'd like I would like some sort of group / role that can be added to event (or category) ACLs.
Describe alternatives you've considered We're currently using some ldap group that catches 95% of the people.
Additional context The following topics might be of interest. At least these were the ones, I have found regarding the topic:
- https://talk.getindico.io/t/category-restricted-to-authenticated-users/346 suggests to create a dedicated module that maintains the group semi automatically
- https://github.com/indico/indico/issues/1415#issuecomment-57685191 mentions this as part of GDPR things
- https://github.com/indico/indico/issues/2281 looks related, also I don't understand the full scope
- https://github.com/indico/indico/issues/5165 was mentioned in the discussions and seems to be a superset of the requested feature
If the feature exists already, then please excuse me.
It might be a subset / special case of #5165, yes. Possibly not 100% obvious from reading it directly.
In any case I think we can leave this one open, since "all authenticated users" is indeed useful and possibly worth keeping as a separate issue.
PS: As a workaround, it would be pretty easy to write an Indico plugin that adds every user to a local group. I can post a code snippet that does this if you are interested.
Keeping it as a separate issue might also be good for people to find it and have a look at the other issue as well (I am just subscribing).
I would guess that the workaround plugin would be on the lines of https://talk.getindico.io/t/category-restricted-to-authenticated-users/346 ?
I don't think, we need it right away.
