User with limited permissions when self registered

[reinerj]

Hi,

we plan to go live with Gitea for a bigger project where we expect to have many user. The current problem we face is that when a user register (what he should do) he can create as example organisations, or can create own repos.

We need that user can register but by default they should be only able to create issues. Otherwise our platform will end up to something like Github. We expect to have more then 1000 public repos.

We plan to go live soon but with the current restrictions it will simple mot be possible to restrict users in what the able to do.

What is missing from our point of view is a user role as "reporter". Later an admin can grant more right that they can create own repo a example.

Would be nice this could be implemented in Gitea.

Thank you
Reiner

I think you are not the only one with this kind of restriction.

@tboerger maybe this should be put in 1.1.0?

I talked with him on Gitter, if that is easy to realize it would help him to bring up his project based on gitea. So if we can make it fast it should be awesome, otherwise it have to be delayed which potentially means he got to skip gitea for that :(

[reinerj]

Yes, without limited permissions we cannot use Gitea to go live. I assume many others will run in the same issue or they run something wide open. Thank you

We would like this behavior / setting too:

by default they should be only able to create issues.
I will Post a bounty on it !

I'd really like to use gitea for customer projects. But at the moment they could copy the whole source code if they want. For most of the projects it's ok, for some it's not. Also I agree with @reinerj in regards of the chaos a customer can make when creating repos and/or organisations.

Imho a customer/reporter:

1. should not be able to create repos
2. should not be able to create orgs
3. may optionally see the code
4. may optionally see the wiki

What I think we need:

1. Two switches. One for the user to disable repo creation for him and one switch to enable/disable repo creation for new users.
2. We already have the DISABLE_REGULAR_ORG_CREATION switch for that.
3. Another role "reporter" which limits the user to only see the Wiki and Issues.
4. A switch in the repository options to allow/deny the role "reporter" wiki ro access.

@freswa : you probably know this, but changes to the configuration can be made in C:\Projects\Gitea\custom\conf\app.ini
