Feature Request: Read only users

[nerbix]

Would be awesome if you could add users and give them read-only access to reporting and dashboard features.

Oh yeah, a little role based authentication would go a long ways.

@zeknox , Any idea how to do that please?

This would require that authorization be implemented throughout the entire application using something like Pundit. Authorization policies would need to be created and added to every controller action to ensure authorization is taking place.

Additionally you would likely need to add some logic to the views so that buttons would not appear for read only based accounts.

@zeknox Thank you for your answer. Is there any plan to add this feature to PF?

Other features need to be implemented first that are hindering functionality including duplicate emails being send via Sidekiq. It's not on the immediate TODO list tbh.
