Multi-user support

Open smartin015 opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The queue has no notion of which OctoPrint user added which job item. This is a hindrance from automating prints in an environment where many users are printing (e.g. a large club, campus, or business)

Describe the solution you'd like

Multi-user queue modification with attribution. It should:

  • Indicate which user owns which print jobs
  • Disallow modifying others' jobs
  • Have some reasonable (configurable?) behavior when one user tries to preempt another user

With the refactor in v2.0.0rc1 this should now be much easier - I think it needs:

  • [ ] A creator column for jobs that stores the user which created it
  • [ ] An added "queue admin" Permission which allows mutating jobs which the user does not own
  • [ ] Checks in API calls that creator matches the user making the call
  • [ ] UI changes to disable features for which the logged-in user has insufficient permissions

ContinuousPrint is substantially more sophisticated than Octoprint-Queue -- OQ allows basically totally arbitrary text is each of the fields, and isn't tied to who is logged into Octoprint.
