Automatically let people join OSD

[simonv3]

@m1guelpf mentioned this platform: https://orgmanager.miguelpiedrafita.com/

Can we use this for automatically letting people join OSD rather than us always having to invite them?

[m1guelpf]

@simonv3 It's very easy to setup.
You can use the hosted version at (https://orgmanager.miguelpiedrafita.com) or host it yourself (https://github.com/m1guelpf/orgmanager).

[simonv3]

Do you mind setting it up for OSD so we can try it out?

[m1guelpf]

@simonv3 The hosted one or the selfhosted one?

[simonv3]

@m1guelpf either! If you think the hosted one is enough then that would be great :)

[m1guelpf]

@simonv3 The hosted one should work...
You just need to register on the hosted version with a Github account that has admin permissions to this org. If you need more help, you can either ask here or use the chat provided in the website.

[simonv3]

Hmm, does the application automatically create links for all orgs that I'm an admin for? That's not desirable on my end.

Also, what does it mean to "Sync" and to "submit" something? And how does the password protection work?

[m1guelpf]

@simonv3 You should give access to the organizations you want to generate links for. The sync function syncs the ORG name and description from Github. To enable password-protection, just enter any password in the password field and press submit. To remove it, remove the password from the password field and press submit.

[simonv3]

I don't see a way to specifically only give access to some organizations. I'm not sure GitHub allows for that - it defaults to the organization's permissions in relation to the user I thought.

[m1guelpf]

@simonv3 You can check, give and remove permissions and organizations to orgmanager at this link:

@m1guelpf can we take this to a chat. I don't think I can edit anything on that page specifically. It automatically checks all the organizations that I'm a member of, and I don't think there's a way to unselect them unless I'm missing something.

This might be a limitation on GitHub's authentication system, but in the mean time I still don't want to have organization join links available for orgs that I don't want people to have access to if they stumble across a URL.

Also, when I set a password for my third application in the list (as a workaround to not having these URLs being available) and I click "update" it updates the wrong orgs settings :/ It looks like it updates the index-1 setting, but it doesn't submit the password.

(Not to sound too negative, this looks like it's exactly what we need, there just seem to be a couple of glitches, thanks for building it!!)

[m1guelpf]

@simonv3 Could you send me an screenshot of the page where you can't cancel your org permissions.
Also, could you open an issue for that password glitches?
I am not able to chat over irc, but you can email me or use the chat of the website (that goes to my mail anyway 😄).

The green arrows aren't toggles, they're just links to this page: https://help.github.com/articles/about-third-party-application-restrictions/

I've opened some other issues as well.

[simonv3]

Awesome, thanks to the quick response time by @m1guelpf this might be an option:

@simonv3 Just checked to see if this worked, and it gives an error.
Seems like your github token is invalid. Could you revoke the orgmanager permission and try to login again?
(You can revoke it in the link i sent you before)
Thank you!
