add user api ignores admin true parameter in body

If I create a board admin attribute

its would be a string or an array (multiple board admins)

its would be a standard key at the top level

OR it would be an attribute per member like isAdmin

I did not see any of this in the api doc nor in the mongo collections, so if you tell me where it goes, I am good. Whether the tools work or not is not an issue as long as I know the mongo format and if its populated correctly the GUI does what it is suppose to do

thanks

Hello good Morning. Just a quick one. I do not need you to fix wekan code. At the moment I just need to know when I have to set boardadmin in mongo to enable a particular user to be able to see the icons that archive and eventually permit you to delete a board. I cannot find that key anywhere in the mongo collections I have looked but obviously the owner has something set somewhere. If you can point me to that collection I can make the change without you recoding at this time. If board admin is not the correct key, I understand. If the wekan GUI drivers are ignoring mongos correct key values, I understand. But if some attribute just needs to be set in a mongo collection, that is easy for me to do. THanks as always :)

I did find under users collection that the second users does not have an isAdmin key at all

will try that next I guess

ok more info. I added the the second user an isAdmin key in collection users. The appranet owner had this key and this additional member did not, I set the value to the key to be true

so now the icons when you roll over are now visible on the second member including the icon for archiving

when you click the archive icon the board disappears. If you go to the archive tabe nothing is inside with this user can see. So you can archive a board but no permissions to deleted the archive board

in another browser I had the same thing upen with the other owner user (the first admin for wekan. He can see the archived board under the archived tabe. It restores aand it can be deleted. If restores the other user can see if

so the users collect IsAdmin true does provide some of the feature but not all of it

Its would appear that a member has no persmissions to archive or delete even if the member isAdmin is set and what you send via the api does not matter. The users account determines if you can archive but not iuf you can actually delete and that archived boards are not visible excpet to the owenr or first admin for wekan

Thanks

I think users isAdmin does mean Wekan admin that has access to REST API and everything

Anyway, I need to think a lot and test before making any changes

so that I would not set wrong permissions

I will keep looking. I am getting closer :)

ok well I guess since the GUI and Mongo both show all members of a board as isAdmin in board and user collections and we still have a difference in behavior on deletions, and I cannot find anything in mongo that supports that difference in behavior it would appear then only thing I can do is have one member and that member be the owner

OK here is something I did not expect.

I made the owner the user member and I swapped that and made the former owner a member. THe former Owner is the FIRST admin that is created when you first install wekan. And even though the isAdmin true is set in the user collections and the board collections there is somethin special about that first admin

and as I expected the owner of a board has full deletion rights
