Manage Contributors through the UI

[michael-gvdw]

Hello,
Would it be possible to manage contributors of a namespce through the UI? Is this something that will be implemented? What roles can I define to users when assigning them to a namespace? Is it limited to "view" and "edit"?

I see the GitOps leanings but I have to agree. Using a Yaml file to manage a user population smacks of password files and shadow files of the last century. This is a seriously broken "feature". I feel like it should be top priority to get resolved, but I'm not writing the code.

The deploykf_core.deploykf_profiles_generator section has three sections users, groups, profiles. Data must be synchronized between the three sections by hand. Mine is some 889 lines long.

deployKF is centered around the declarative values, allowing users to create profiles outside the values would break this declarative connection. For example, lots of resource are provisioned when you create a profile or add a user to it.

However, I understand the desire to make onboarding easier. I think in most cases, the friction is coming from the lack of ability to read groups from your auth provider. We had a discussion about this in #216 (comment), so check that out and give your feedback there.
