Joplin Server user status
User flags
User flags are used to indicate problem conditions with a particular account. They are usually automatically set by various services, for example when an account go over the limit, or when a payment fails. Likewise they are removed automatically when the condition changes.
The list of flags is defined in UserFlagType.
User status
A user can have various status that affects the possible actions they can do. User statuses are derived from user flags.
| Status | Values | Description |
|---|---|---|
| can_upload | 0 or 1 | Whether the user can upload items, such as notes or tags, to the server. |
| enabled | 0 or 1 | A disabled user cannot upload or download data from the server API anymore. However, they can still login to the website, make change to their profile, etc. |
Perhaps a third status: "blocked" could be created. It would be like enabled = 0, except they won't be able to login to the website either.
These status should only be set as a results of user flags. In other words, the application should not directly set enabled to 0 or 1 but instead set a user flag that would indicate the issue. A script will then process the user flags and set the status as a result.
