This is the repo for the custom user manager I am writing for ColabSidian. It is used by the SyncServer backend of ColabSidian.

It has a default user. Every connection to the sync server has permissions based on the given permissions for the user it is logged in as. It uses the default user as a fallback/template when creating a new user.

There are 3 ways of logging in.

• username & password (has specific perms for a singular user)
• username & key (has specific perms for a singular user)
• general key (has general perms for everyone with this key, so it can be used as a "guest" user)

The username-dependent login methods can be configured to allow a certain number of connections per user (default 1)

config.json:

{
  "um": {
    "default_perms": 0,
    "general_keys": [],
    "users": []
  },
  "db": { "port": 1337 }
}

'um' and 'db' are separate, so you could use the same config file when you want to use a different DB solution. User:

Perms are stored as a number In JS, numbers aren't ints. So you can imagine each int bit being a flag for a perm.

• Reading is always permitted.
• Files and folders are handled the same.

The perm range is 0 - 31

So a user that is allowed to do everything would have the perm-value 31 and a user that is only allowed to read, write & delte from files would have the perm-value 7

Read the todo.md to see what is in planning. (everything in the todo.md should be seen as being considered but not confirmed to be "todo").
