User management

[matthewberryman]

• Allow creation of new users.
• Password management.
• Setting roles (read only vs read write).
• Logout button.
• Logout period (define and implement).

Even before we wrap this up, it would be great to at least have the password field set as a password field (so characters entered appear as asterisks) prior to the demo. @benatwork99

The password field is behaving properly this morning for me, across IE11 and Chrome (Mac) and Safari. So just leave it as is.

That was me, I committed that yesterday but forgot that issue #12 was in
cognicity-rem-web (commit was to cognicity-rem-server!)

Ah, that's why I couldn't find it in commit history for cognicity-rem-web, it was handled by cogncity-rem-server. My bad. I must have tested yesterday before I deployed that set of commits. 👍

All good, I referenced issue #12 but also forgot the issue was in another
project so the commit didn't link to the issue properly!

I'm thinking about a simple schema for this - one user table with columns hardcoded to the roles. E.g., the user table may have these columns:
id, username, password, editor, admin

I thought we could have admin as a role as well, meaning a user who has access to the user management section.

Those are the only items worth calling out - let me know if you don't like the sound of them. Apart from that, I'll proceed as discussed - setup the schema, move the users to the database, add a user UI control, add a logout function, adding (very basic) user management pages, and fixing the implementation of read-only vs edit mode in the UI code.

Sounds good—I had envisaged two roles editor and admin (and users can be assigned one or the other or both, hence two columns).

I think this has now been all handled or spawned separate tasks, see:

smart-facility/cognicity-rem-server#7
smart-facility/cognicity-rem-server#1
smart-facility/cognicity-rem-server#23
smart-facility/cognicity-rem-server#24
