Add an invitiation workflow
Currently there is no UI workflow to add new users to the system. The only options are creating new super-users using the Django script or enabling registration for a limited time. For self-hosted scenarios, it would make sense if the application would support invites. That would make it simple to add specific users (such as family members, friends, colleagues) without setting a password for them.
The workflow would look something like this:
- Application provides a page + form to invite a new user per mail
- User clicks on link in mail and lands on page / form where they can complete their registration details and set their password
- Completing the form enables the account and the user is now able to login
Would need to consider if this needs to be behind a config flag or if the invite feature can be active all the time (for super users).
Rather than sending a mail automatically, it would be a lot easier to just provide an invite link that can be shared however the user likes. If you just want to invite like 3 people, sharing the 3 links is likely faster than having to figure out how to configure an SMTP service.
Agreed, as an admin, having the ability to create an invitation link that can expire in x hours, days... or after a specific number of uses. Very useful in large-scale use cases
