Group "admin". Enable certain people create users under group

[Dimitris Zervas]

I want group admins to be able to add users to their group. I can't find any resource on how to do that.

Hi Dimitris,

This feature isn't standard but we've done it on at least one project.

You would need to add the id of the group to the groupIds property of the person in question in a custom route.

Take care with this. If you allow people who are in a group with the admin permission to do this, then they can make more admins, etc.

Actually that was a silly warning, since people with the admin permission can already do this. (:

Is there available code?

I'm not sure I follow.
Why should I do that? (how the idea works)
How can I do that?
What is a custom route (I can't see express routes exposed to apostrophe...)?

There's nothing keeping you from adding Express routes in your Apostrophe app. Your modules all receive "app" as an option. Take a look at how our own modules add routes as needed.

This isn't something I can code for you today unfortunately, but hopefully you're getting enough of a hint to apply some nodejs skills and some reading of source code (:
