Is there a way to manage users as an Admin?

Super_Jojo

Hello, I am setting up a cryptpad instance for me and some friends to collaborate on some documents. I don't want anybody else to use this cryptpad so I turned off registrations. Is there any way to manually add users ? Is there also a way to manage the ones that are already created ? (delete them, etc.) ?

Hello,

There is no administration panel to manage users on CryptPad yet. So far our goal has to be that we want to know as little as possible about our users. It's a privacy principle important to us.

A future workaround (not possible as of today) would be to use the teams functionality. Blocking registrations on your instance as you did but create teams and use the invite links to have them join your instance.

For now, I created a feature request on our GItHub application repository to keep track and discuss this with the development team.

Sorry I wasn't able to give a positive answer to your question and your use-case!

Mathilde Thanks a lot for your reply ! It would be nice but is not a deal breaker.
