This is related to other Wekan issues in this way:

[#13] Has some code for admin interface, but probably does not include teams

For making Wekan programmable, AFAIK there is no code for these yet:

[#43] API

[#42] Using Email with API

[#49] Auto add user name to a moved card

There is currently not much technical documentation of Wekan, only some related to using it at:
https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/FAQ
https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Install-and-Update#install-manually-from-source

Wekan code is mostly Javascript, templates, CSS and some YAML. It uses Meteor Javascript framework, Node.js for serverside, and MongoDB database that also is Javascript-based.

On codebase, there is check for environment variable, is it running:
1) Wekan standalone version, when it has multiboard features, login etc etc although disabling login on [#13] is not implemented yet.
2) Running on Sandstorm, then only one board is in use and is set to public, because Sandstorm provides authentication, sandboxing in grains etc.

Wefork code is quite logically divided to subfolders. I recommend that after cloning that repo to your computer:
1) You don't add Node.js modules or Meteor framework to there
2) Read the code and make notes

If possible, it would be nice to have additional MongoDB database collections (or "tables" as in SQL database terms) for additional information added, that would make upgrading from previous versions of Wefork easier. Some users have a lot of data. So in new version if collection does not exists, then create it.

Planning and documenting technical requirements would be a good way to start. This would also prevent duplicate work when Team/Organization admin is different than the simple previous [#13] implementation.

Currently Wekan team is quite small, so having some new technical documentation of code structure would also help newcomers to get familiar with it.

Thanks @xet7 - I've been looking over the code and am halfway through some tech specs for this, I've been busy but I'll post something when I put together something more solid if someone else doesn't take it on first. :)

Thanks! It's very nice to get tech specs for this.

Since your previous post to this issue Wekan has gained many more features, I will also add there recent ability to change email address.

Feature request by @DukeW

It would be nice to be able as an admin to take "ownership" of boards. I have a Wekan instance running for 30 people, and some people don't archive there boards when there done. I would like to be able to take ownership of these old boards and archive them my self. Also sometimes a board creator is not present and new people need to be added to a board, right now I don't have a way of doing this.

Reply by @xet7

It's possible to change you as board admin at MongoDB database, that link is mentioned at Platforms page. There is no Web UI for it yet. I have not tried can it be done with REST API.

From @Logicbloke

Hi,
As a project manager, I sometimes have to dispatch task to team members, but I'm mostly using one board per project rather than one board per team member. Why is it that any member added to the board with the normal permissions can edit other cards other than the ones assigned to him? To the very list bring the permissions down to the lists level.

The comment permissions look OK for this kind of thing but it's preventing the team member for ticking the checklists.

Are kanban boards supposed to be one board per team member?

Thanks!

@Logicbloke

Please add details how this feature would work step by step, and please add to bounty for this issue so there is enough funding for building these features, more details about bounties at http://www.xet7.org/wekan

I'm also actively following this issue. We weren't able to move from Trello as we needed the 'invite link' feature so visitors to our site could sign up and join a board. We haven't grown our dev team to the point where we can focus on building that feature, although we would join in your excellent work coding this project if we moved from Trello to Wekan

From @saurabharch

Admin can create credential of new user of team member and bypass the user verification, bcz some email transactional process is not working well so need new features like this.

@saurabharch Do you mean adding new user in Admin Panel ?

I'd also like to be able to add new users in admin panel. As admin it would be good to be able to change 'verified' for email to 'yes' in the backend in the edit screen too.

I would recommed disable user using API.

It's also possible to take ownership of users boards but it's not documented well yet.

It's not recommeded to delete user because it can break Wekan board.

What should happen to user's data when user is deleted? It's not implemented properly yet.
