When you want to add a user or manage them, or when you want to add a release train, the only possibilities right now is to do it by hand in the DB or to create some custom code. We would like to add an administrator area, possibly just one page, with the ability to manage the release trains. Then people can extend that place to add a page to manage users. My immediate questions are: if we do an administrative page, how do we manage the access ? Can we add a field to the user table for that, or should we do some kind of IP restriction ? Please let me know your thoughts.
At Eclipse pull our users from the Bugzilla database, so we don't have a need to add users, but I understand you have that need. We'll gladly take any code you provide and simply disable it for our purposes. Having an admin page would be great for the trains, though. Instead of creating one 'admin' flag in the users table, my suggestion would be to create a table called user_groups where you could have a group called trains_admin, one group called users_admin... that would allow you to grant different privileges to different users.
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.
