Allow basic User management without permissions

[Nicklas2751]

I host some services together with some friends, I'd like to let them add some Monitors but not to change the notification settings or change/delete monitors of others. To achieve this, it would be nice to have a small user management where I can create roles, set privileges for roles, create users and assign users to roles.

Additional: When I look at other feature requests like the one with the API, this could be a good base to create technical accounts which then are able to access the API with a generated API token or something like that.

In addition to that, an extension of this feature would be LDAP integration with group to permission mapping.

Overall, great project!

LDAP and other integrations could be easily done with the Remote-* headers:

• Remote-User (username, might be a GUID)
• Remote-Groups (groups the belong to)
• Remote-Name (display name)

Authelia is rising in popularity as an authentication layer, that can also use this.

This is a highly requested feature, are there any plans to implement it? Is it being considered?

There are at-least a few features that are currently being worked on that may interfere with this being tackled immediately (Settings page redesign and multiple status pages for example), and there are some other highly requested features that may be done first. (I personally want to work on notification options after the templates are finished for example.)

It IS being considered however (were it not louis would have closed it), but beyond the above, louis is slow to merge things sometimes because they get busy, and many of the contributors are focusing elsewhere at the moment.

I understand the want to have users. Allowing for users/ldap integration is likely one of the largest blocks behind this getting used in a business environment. Unfortunately, it is going to take some time. UK is < 6 months old, but already a great app. We will get users eventually, just not immediately.

I could prepares basic steps and create a template PR for this feature.
AFAIK, there is already a base structure for multi user in Kuma.

@ugurerkan Pull requests are ALWAYS welcome. Feel free to tackle it.

Should leave this part to me. It is a super big feature. It is not as easy as you thought.

User management usually come with permission group and access control, which means a user may have or don't have a right to access other resources of users/groups.

Also as mentioned in another thread, there is only frontend input validation. Backend validation is missing.
