Describe the solution you would like

Solution alternatives

Alternative 1: Scalable solution

• Possibility to add user groups via the web interface.
• Possibility to add/remove users from groups via web interface.
• Possibility to set which groups can see specific videos.

This would be an easy solution for web admins and can be well integrated to the user management in Peertube. But it will add a lot of new features to Peertube, which has to be maintained.

Alternative 2: Easy to implement solution

• Adding a filter:api.user.me.get.result API from where plugin developers can add custom attributes/data to users in order to group them

In this way plugin developers can create custom API endpoints to add/remove users from groups and store the result with storageManager. The upside with this solution is the small burden laid on Peertube core.
