Controllers - UsermanagerController

Description

The UsermanagerController is SaWALi's User Management System controller. It provides regular users an interface for modifying their account information; and administrators to assign new privilege levels to registered users.

Properties

doauth (string "*")

Means all controller methods require the user to be authenticated.

can_admin (boolean, False by default)

Set to True if the user has administrative privileges.

usersdb (instance)

Instance of UsersBase.

Methods

__before__

Calls BaseController.__before__ for checking user authentication and template locations; and sees whether the user has administrative privileges (sets `can_admin` to True, if so). Then instantiates the UsersBase model as `usersdb`.

index

Shows a list of registered users and an account editor form by rendering "templates/users/users.list.html". If the user is an administrator, provides options (demote, promote) per user in the list.

demote

Administrators only. Reduces a user's privilege level by one then redirects to index.

promote

Administrators only. Increases a user's privilege level by one then redirects to index.

update_self

Avaliable to all users. Updates the user's OpenID URL and/or user name properties, then redirects to index.
