Description

Description of problem:
Currently users have no way to know whether the requests has been granted or reject; nor does the grantor have convenient methods to tell the requesters they requests have been rejected or need more information.

For example, user A requests a translator permission in fr team; but if language coordinator wants to reject the request, the coordinator have no way to tell user A in Zanata.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.5

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Sign in as a coordinator
2. Go to language team he/she coordinate.
3. User A request for permission to join the language team.

Actual results:
There is no way to telling User A that the permission is rejected.

Expected results:
A choice should be given:

"Ok" for grant the request
"Reject" for reject the request
"More Info" for require more information
"Cancel" (Optional) Pending the decision.

We are assuming that there is no notification system in place yet, for the purposes of estimation.

Features to be implemented:

  • A list (filtered and paged) in the language page.

  • If a user already has made a request to join, the requester should be allowed to view and modify the request, including cancellation.

  • If a user already has a role in the team, said user will be allowed to submit a new request for different roles.

Technical notes:

  • Create a reusable widget to display a request.

  • Implemented in JSF

I would like to comment from user (i.e., translator) perspective.

Assume I were a new user who wants to join a language team.
I cannot know whether I already sent a join request or not.
It is related to the original bug report.
(On Transifex, we can know if I already sent a join request and know a result of approval.)

As a coordinator, I received multiple join request from one person.
I believe it comes from the fact Zanata does not provide a way to track a join request.

This was recently discussed on the openstack-i18n mailing list:

http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-i18n/2015-September/001345.html

According to the thread, at OpenStack, some of our coordinators are spending more than an hour approving requests because of the clunky workflow.

Suggestions for implementation:

  • Email to coordinator announcing the new join request needs to contain a link that goes to the right place to action the request (no clicking required; if the user needs to login, they should be taken back there after login)

  • Wherever that place is, a list of all join requests for the team is displayed, with information about each user and their requested roles; and approve and deny buttons

In our experience, removing a user from the team, or changing a user's roles is much less frequent than new joins.

This appears to be a two part RFE:

1. The ability for maintainers / administrators to manage users' role and permission requests, and
2. User feedback for the result of point 1.

This implies

  • a storage mechanism for the requests

  • a notification that requests exist

  • views of the requests for a project, a language, roles etc

  • a user's request history view (e.g. my requests, previous and current)

  • filtering for maintainer / user of requests by status

Other questions arise, such as

  • "Undo" ability (whoops, wrong button),

  • normal user request management (e.g. "Cancel" my request, I don't want it any more)

  • Request expiry
