When the user is logged in and authenticated their credentials should be automatically assoiciated with any reports that they create and submit. These reports should be automatically approved and verified as they come from an authenticated source.

As long as Taarifa is deployed as a "closed" system (e.g. Uganda) we can identify users by their name. When putting in the name the user could get a list of people who already committed reports.

@nicowe I completely agree, however I think it's something we at least need to think around. Identifying by IP in a mobile network isn't too good as it won't be a static address. I've looked at browser ID, it's a toss up with requesting that the user authenticates themselves through a username/password or we come up with a 'smart' way of avoiding this step reducing complexity on the user end.
