Features

Groups and people visibility

No need to log in anymore to review groups and people's profile.

RESTful API

Provide a dedicated ENDPOINT to retrive accounts' data. Access to this API requires a generated token that people can get from their profile's page.

Profile Avatar

People will be able to add an avatar to their profile (from a 3rd party service) This avatar will be available to 3rd-party which can use it in their views or more.

Profile Bio

People would be able to write their bio and will be view-able from their profile's page. Also available from the API

Group 3rd-party binding

As we (Fedora project) has a specific way of using group (i.e providing VCS access and the like) group will provide a way to bind its ACLs to 3rd party in order to retrieve people or to give people some rights to this 3rd party if its members exist from this 3rd party.

Current target for now is:

• GitHub organization

Admin or group's admin could bind a group to a github organization's team.

Which, create github's team if not exist and add its members to it if its members exist on github.

If group is VCS related, create a github's repo if not exist already and give its members commit access.

Group ownership

Group's owner has been renamed to "principal Administrator" as group's admin can now

pass along their group's ownership to another admin of the same group.

Account's administrator can do the same.

Settings panel

Account's admin will have a dashboard where they could manage account related elements

• people management
  • Remove an account
  • Block, disable or archive account
• groups management
  • Add, edit and remove groups
  • Block or archive groups
• groups' types management
• license agreement management
  • Add, edit and remove Licenses
  • Enable license at sign-up which flag the license signing as mandatory

Connected applications

2 factors authentication

LDAP backend

Change SQL backend to LDAP's for groups and people management.
