Making AuthUser fields writable for admin while readonly by default

[gaytomycode]

Hi @gi0baro ,

I'm trying to make the AuthUser by default readable only, yet allow the admin to edit it. I tried to do that multiple ways and my last work around was to create a deep copy of the AuthUser and mark the fields as read and write

WritableAuthUser = copy.deepcopy(AuthUser)
for field, value in WritableAuthUser.fields_rw.items():
    if field == "id":
        continue
    WritableAuthUser.table[field].writable = WritableAuthUser.table[field].readable = True

This affects the original AuthUser although it's a deep copy.

This is my AuthUser

class AuthUser(emmett.tools.auth.AuthUser):
    avatar = emmett.orm.Field.upload()
    position = emmett.orm.Field.string()
    rank = emmett.orm.Field.string()
    degree = emmett.orm.Field.string()
    management = emmett.orm.Field.string()

    permissions = emmett.orm.has_many('app.UserPermission')

    validation = {'email': {'is': 'email', 'presence': True, 'lower': True}}

    fields_rw = {
        f: (True, False)
        for f in [
            'email',
            'first_name',
            'last_name',
            'avatar',
            'position',
            'rank',
            'degree',
            'management',
        ]
    }

Any idea what to do here? I tried going through the source code and tracing things to understand why that change would happen but I didn't find any clue.

I even tried doing something like

    create_form = await AuthUser.form(fields={'readable': ['email', 'password'], 'writable': ['email']})

but the email field is still read only.

Sorry spamming you @gi0baro
