As an admin, I want to be able to assign users to a Group while on the Users page

[usrrname]

Currently, we lack the ability to assign users to groups.

This functionality could be added to the UpdateUserModal, which is triggered by double-clicking the row in the User list.

What this entails:

• loading all available groups (excluding the groups a user is already part of)
• adding a solution like a dropdown to select the group the user will be a part of.
• when saved, post request/ query to a12n-server adds a user to the group.
• UX feedback on success and error with toast

To see who is in a group, check the member relationship on /group/:id.

To add someone to a group, there is a PATCH request on that endpoint that looks like this:

{
  memberHref: '/url/to/user/you're/adding',
  operation: 'add-member'
}

If it's interesting, if you were to get a list of users in a group with @badgateway/ketting this would work roughly as follows:

const group = ketting.go('/group/1234');
const members = await group.followAll('member');

for(const member of members) {

  console.log(member.uri);
  
  // Get the full member object.
  console.log(await member.get());

}

To add a member:

const group = ketting.go('/group/1234');
const user = ketting.go('/user/4567');

await group.patch({
  memberHref: user.uri,
  operation: 'add-member'
});
