Imeji User Management

Scenarios

Implemented (Beta Release)

• User account creation: Only System Administrators have the right to create new user accounts.
• User can edit his own information and change his password.
• Every registered user is an account user that has the right to create own collections.
• One user can have as many priviledges as he gets.
• Account are sent per email

Not implemented

• User account creation: It should be possible that every user can create his own account -- discarded?
• For special purposes (e.g. for students), accounts are needed that have special rights for the context of one or several collections, but do not have the right to create own collections.
• User Groups: Further to the user roles, it would make sense to implement the creation of user groups, which than can have special user rights assigned similar to individual users.
