Feature Request: Multi-User Support with Separate Workspaces

[checkmeck]

Since there is already an authentication system in place, it would be a natural next step to support the creation of users with their own separate workspaces.

This would allow a single Scriberr instance to be used by small teams, with each person having their own individual account and profile. Currently, the only way to achieve this is by running a separate instance for each user, which creates significant overhead.

A possible implementation could be:

• An administrator being able to create and manage new users, or
• A registration system where new users can sign up and get activated/approved.

I can work on this, but I can't give you a timeline for this as it would be a major change. This would require some thinking and would be a complex change. The actual feature isn't too hard to implement, but making sure it doesn't break anything and is fully backward compatible with existing database would be the main challenge. So I expect this to take a while.
Community contributions are welcome and would be much appreciated.

I would also absolutely LOVE this. To keep the files you upload more private from the other users

This would indeed be a great addition.
What I do propose is to at least add some sort of measure so that when someone tries to log in with a credential that doesn't exist, it doesn't go into an endless loop of trying that freezes the entire thing. I am unaware of how complex that is, but I imagine it would for now help those who try understand it is under construction.

If there is anyway in which we may be of support, do let us know pls!

Hey there, that would be a great addition! I'd gladly try my hands on this. To be transparent, this would be my first real usage of golang and major contribution to a FOSS project. If that is still okay with you, I'd be happy to give this a try, I have IAM experience but not in this context. I ask because I don't want to cause you more headaches than actually help, so better check first.

Hello Everyone, i build a Multiuser Version of this Tool. I'm not very familiar with GitBub; is there a way to make the tool available here, or do I need to create my own repository first?

[checkmeck]

You could either clone the repository, make changes and do a merge request such that it is hopefully merged into this project after review.
Or you can create a Fork of this repository and do your own project.
I believe you want to contribute to this project so the merge request is what you want.

@agent4701 and @mo-st
Thanks for volunteering to contribute to the project. Appreciate the support.

@agent4701 you can simply fork the project, continue working on it and once you're ready you can then create a pull request here to merge the changes into the app.

Let me know if you need any help figuring this out.

@mo-st absolutely no worries about your hesitations. I'm new to Go as well. I am not familiar with IAM development and would appreciate any and all help I get.
Please feel free to submit a PR. Your knowledge here would be very useful.

[mo-st]

Great! @agent4701 would you like to collaborate on this, given you already seem to have built something working? I could for example code review or maybe help iron out some kinks. In any case, just let me know once you created the fork and I can assist you.
In case I don't hear from you within a week or so, I'll assume you are busy and will start trying to create my own solution.

Good evening @rishikanthc and @checkmeck and everyone,

I was unfortunately ill, which is why I haven't replied here. I've now created a pull request and I hope I've done everything correctly. I've also added the option to change the logo.

Yes, I hope it works after I uploaded the files via the GitHub client. It had some problems with the upload at first and kept giving me strange error messages.

Best regards

@rishikanthc Before I forget to mention it, I have a Scriberr version that was already 3 weeks old; I didn't pay attention to whether there had been another update in the meantime, otherwise I would have to reimplement the multi-user function for the latest version.

@agent4701 i have merged a few PRs from other contributors but I think it should be fine as none of them are IAM related. So there shouldn't be any conflicts. Thank you so much for the help. I'll take a look at the PR and test it out.

@mo-st if you have some time and it's not too much trouble would you be able to review and test the PR ? You said you have background in this and I would much rather have someone who knows what to check, review it as I'm not familiar with this.
