Groups in WB2

  • Currently clicking on a group takes you to an empty project, listing all users in the group here in a table would be great
  • The "New Group" button could be replaced by "Add User" in the group membership list
  • 3 dot menu in group membership list can handle removing users from groups
  • The attributes dialog for groups would be a good place to allow renaming the group - alternatively, an option in the 3 dot menu would also work

Users in WB2

  • Either an "Edit user" dialog or separate page would be great to house the various knobs/levers for user management - log in as user and edit user parameters could live here
  • 2 sections in Edit User for Group membership and VM permissions
  • Regarding groups - a table of groups which the user is a member would be clearer than the checkbox matrix in WB1

More things to consider

Both admins and non admins should be able to create and manage "role" groups. Users with manage permission can view/add/remove users, view/add/remove links to other "role" groups, and view/add/remove links to projects. Users with "read" or "write" permission to a group are able to view the permission links (but not add/remove them).

We would also like an out-of-band mechanism that sends an "invite" to a user to be added to a role group. (https://dev.arvados.org/issues/17814)
