Multiple Users support

[BrandonEscamilla]

Hi,

I've been exploring the management of multiple users in Jupyter-UI and I have a few questions that I'm hoping someone can answer.

1. Can Jupyter UI be used to manage multiple users and handle authentication, especially in scenarios where JupyterHub is not utilized? One possible approach I'm considering is using a prefix in the Notebook name, such as a user_id, to filter the files retrieved in FileBrowser so that only the notebooks belonging to a particular user are displayed.

2. When JupyterHub is utilized, does Jupyter UI already support sending requests that consider the username? I'm interested in understanding how this authentication and user management can be achieved in both scenarios.

3. I've come across discussions mentioning that FileBrowser in Jupyter UI can only display files (How to listen to fileBrowser events such as onOpen etc in Nextjs project?  #76), but does not support opening or closing files within a notebook. I would like to confirm if this feature is still missing.

Thank you very much in advance.

JupyteHub should be supported, it is a matter a configuration of the index.html.

Jupyter UI relies on the standard jupyterlab provided configuration in the index.html to setup its Server connections.

I guess an example would be easier to show how this can work. Just need to find time for that...

Correct, see also #76 (comment)

Thank you for your reply, @echarles. Regarding the FileBrowser, will it support direct file downloads?
