extra props for users

Would be great if we could add custom extra options for users. We have some user specific behavior which we would like to control from the user settings dialogs if possible (custom checkboxes, etc)

Interesting idea. How would you see this manifesting in the UI and API?

We could define properties, a display name and type for those (boolean, number etc). Each type would have an associated GUI element (boolean=checkbox, number=spinner etc, like for the plugin specific job settings).

Then when you go to the user management interface or tools / options / user settings, you would have a “Custom properties” region where these would show up. We could query their value through the restAPI or commandline

That sounds good. However, before I log a feature request, have you considered using a standard service like LDAP for this? What would be the motivation to make this Deadline-specific?

We are looking for deadline specific user settings (for example, “Send extra job stats email after job completion” etc). Its not a huge deal, but it would be good if we could have this, or the ability to add it ourselves.

Ok, I’ve logged this to the wishlist.
