Description Karl Mikaelsson cendio 2016-06-29 09:58:45 CEST
Having multiple user accounts in tlwebadm would allow us to:

 * Implement traceable change logs

   i.e. a log of who did what through the tlwebadm interface.

 * Have different levels of access based on user account

   This could allow support personnel to manage user sessions while
   not being allowed to reconfigure the settings.

 * Avoid sharing a single password between everyone that are authorized
   to access tlwebadm

   Changing a password is a much less time-consuming task if it only
   affects one user.

We should consider using system accounts rather than having our own system. That would get rid of a lot of complexity at our end and just have to have a mechanism specifying which of all system users are allowed access.
