Description

Overview

Allow instance admins to get more insight into their users and perform certain tasks.

Background

Performing common tasks around users should be easy to do via the web-based admin dashboard. This is important for saving time, and for admins that don't host their own instance, e.g. those who use WriteFreely.host.

Users

Admins of multi-user instances

Implementation

NOTE: just ideas for now

Support these actions:

  • View list of local users
  • View information about a user, looked up via username
    • Username
    • Sign up date
    • Number of posts
    • Number of blogs
  • Ability to suspend accounts
    • Silence account entirely (T661)
    • Disable "Public" blog setting for the user (T578)

Design

Can be simple for now, even plain text-based. Just needs to be functional.

I see the ability to suspend accounts on here. Would this apply to Write.as for Teams? Asking because when we were previously discussing a migration to Ghost.org's hosted platform, they would've allowed us to create a user account for each author fer each article on our site (around 500 people), but only charge for around 5 active users, as the rest would be suspended/inactive.

@heyakyra This task has a broader scope / works on a higher level, for managing all users on a WriteFreely instance. We can address Team suspensions in another task.
