[DISCUSSION] Appwrite sudo/root mode (gathering users feedback) about appwrite HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi @eldadfux, thanks a lot for the positive response and adding it to your v1.0 roadmap.

In my opinion and in the ideal world, the root user might be able to:

• activate and/or deactivate front page signups,
• manage whitelists,
• limit the number of projects to be created,
• update the texts of the terms & conditions and privacy policy,
• create "Privacy & Legal" profiles that will be the defaults for future projects,
• grant project creation permission to specific members (e.g., team leaders).

Also, a sudo mode might be implemented, so that the root user need to enter their password again to make root-level changes, etc.

I think that these features will make Appwrite a perfect fit for teams of any size. I hope to contribute with possible commits after I'm done with the ongoing busy period in my projects.

hi @eldadfux, yes this serves the purpose for now, but I would suggest a settings screen on the console similar to self-hosted Gitlab when Appwrite hits stable V1.0. This would make it flawless to manage the whitelist in the long run. For this purpose, the first signed-up user might be deemed to be the root user.

@monatis Sounds awesome, I will add it to our roadmap for v1.0.0. Would be great if you could bring more feedback on the root user and what features are needed for the global admin dashboard.
