Multi-User Setup and Requests?

[TShippen]

Any interest in adding support for multi-user setups and a request process similar to Seerr? This would likely look like user roles for admin and requesters, allowing others to browse and request downloads with either automatic or approval-review. I'd be happy to work on this in stages if there's interest.

Edit: I see discussion post for integration of this platform into Seerr, just want to be clear that this idea is for bringing in auth, user roles, and request workflows into this app following the framework we have here, not integrating it into another app.

Hi, it would be nice to have and would fill a big gap for people. It's not something I personally have time to work on and debug at this stage, but you're happy to take a stab at it then 100% feel free, it would be a really great addition.

I guess my main thought or requirement would be to have this new addition segmented or integrated in a way that doesn't disrupt the existing UI / UX for users just wanting to download normally, and same for the codebase in terms of debug / maintenance.

I also agree on the Seer thing and integrating into other apps, I'd rather not rely on more integrations at this stage. I already have enough to do fixing bugs with the existing app integrations 😂

Thanks for the reply! This sounds great and makes sense, I'm going to start taking a look at how it would best fit given the requirements and framework.

Just a bit of an update. I took a stab at this myself, first pass is in the dev branch :)

This would be AMAZING! I'd greatly appreciate this feature. Something similar to Seerr would be super useful but no integration seems needed. I utilize Booklore so having the ability to link a Shelfmark user with a particular download folder for book drop or tying straight into a designated library via API would be ideal. End user accounts having restricted access to admin settings would be nice too.

Available to test in dev now :)

Some things still outstanding which I'll add later. List at #614
