accounts: create manage hooks

[eamonnmag]

So that we can create users for example for inveniomanage, e.g.

inveniomanage user createsuperuser --u eamonn --p mypassword --e eamonn@helloworld.com
inveniomanage user createuser --u eamonn --p mypassword --e eamonn@helloworld.com

Proposal

@eamonnmag I like your proposal, I have just few consistency suggestions:

inveniomanage accounts create [--superadmin] -u/--user <name> -e/--email <valid_email> [-p/--passoword]

Question

Shall we create commands for deleting and modifying users too?

[eamonnmag]

I like your option better. I was starting from how django does it. They only have

 changepassword
 createsuperuser

I think that having the ability to create and modify any type of user from this tool would be very useful though.

[jirikuncar]

👍 for changepassword

[tiborsimko]

👍 and it'll be good to grow options later to be able to delete users, make them inactive, etc. (E.g. merge users would be fun to have later.)

[lnielsen]

👍 for adding simple options. Especially useful for development and bootstrapping. In a running production I would prefer to have most stuff in the UI (which naturally doesn't exclude also having it in CLI as well).

[eamonnmag]

addrole would also be good. We need to add roles to users, and there's nothing I see on the front end side to do that yet. I may make a start on this soon, since we really need it.

[jirikuncar]

@eamonnmag addrole should be probably part of invenio-access package. (cc @hachreak)

[eamonnmag]

Ah, ok, I didn't know about that. Where is that package currently residing? I can't find it anywhere.

[jirikuncar]

@eamonnmag created here https://github.com/inveniosoftware/invenio-access and it's waiting for inveniosoftware/invenio#3328 to be integrated first.

[eamonnmag]

Great, thanks @jirikuncar!

[lnielsen]

Btw, just for reference here's the commands from Flask-Security: https://github.com/mattupstate/flask-security/blob/develop/flask_security/script.py:

• Create user
• Create role
• Add/remove role to/from user
• Activate/deactivate user

[eamonnmag]

Can we not just use this?

[lnielsen]

You mean use Flask-Security, or just use the names?

Names: Yes, I'm fine with them.
Flask-Security: Yes as well, but on a longer time scale. I've already done some integration work for Flask-AppFactory with Flask-Security.
