Group Management

The Group Management system provides functionality for creating and managing user groups.
Groups are used to organize users and control access to certain pages or resources across the platform.
Groups can be created, edited, and deleted either through the UI or programmatically in the code.

A special System group is created automatically.
It is reserved for internal services such as initializing the SMTP server.

Functional areas

Group Management offers the following key functions:

Group creation and editing

• Create new groups with a name and description
• Edit existing groups to update metadata
• Delete groups that are no longer needed

Group membership

• Users can be assigned to groups or removed from them
• Membership is managed via User Management
• Groups appear in the User Management interface once created

Permissions and access control

• Groups are containers for organizing users
• They can be used to control visibility of certain pages or resources
• Common use case: making certain sections of the platform visible only to specific groups

System group

• Automatically created when Group Management is initialized
• Used by system-relevant services such as the SMTP server
• Not intended for real users

Code usage

package main

import (
	"go.wdy.de/nago/application"
	"go.wdy.de/nago/application/group"
	"go.wdy.de/nago/application/user"
	"go.wdy.de/nago/pkg/std"
	"go.wdy.de/nago/presentation/core"
	"go.wdy.de/nago/presentation/ui"
	"go.wdy.de/nago/presentation/ui/alert"
)

const (
	nagoDevs = group.ID("nago.devs")
)

func main() {
    application.Configure(func(cfg *application.Configurator) {
		cfg.SetApplicationID("de.create.group")

		groupManagement := std.Must(cfg.GroupManagement())
		std.Must(groupManagement.UseCases.Upsert(user.SU(), group.Group{
			ID:          nagoDevs,
			Name:        "Nago Developer",
			Description: "Devs in this project.",
		}))

		cfg.RootViewWithDecoration("dev_secrets", func(wnd core.Window) core.View {
			if !wnd.Subject().HasGroup(nagoDevs) {
				return alert.Banner("Error", "You are not a member of the group: nago devs")
			}

			return ui.Text("Welcome to the group of nago devs.")
