Re: Any plans to allow non-admin users to configure Slack integration?

[Christian Hammond]

Hey Adam!

There's no plans for this today. Giving all users that form of access makes
things complicated, because now they need access to parts of the
administration UI.

That said, assuming we're talking about Review Board 3.0's Slack support,
then it's very possible to have an extension just simply provide a UI for
creating a Slack configuration and then to create the necessary database
entries to do it. A Slack configuration is just an entry in
the integrations_integrationconfig table that provides a configuration
name, an ID representing the Slack integration (a static value), and then a
JSON dump of the settings (basically, just a channel name and the
conditions under which it will post to that channel -- review groups).

It'd be a pretty easy thing to put together, and we could help with some
sample code on constructing the right entries. You wouldn't even need a
form as fancy as the one in the admin UI. Just something with a couple
fields that can be exposed to users. A few hours of work.

If we're talking the legacy rbslack extension, then there's nothing that
can be done there, as it was never built to allow for more than one
mapping. That code is dead, with the version in Review Board 3.0 being the
way forward.

Any plans to allow non-admin users to configure Slack integration?

[Adam Gross]

For companies with very few RB admins but lots of groups, it would be nice 
to support non-admins to configure the Slack channel integrations. There's 
no way we could funnel all of our preferences through our RB admins. 
Instead it would be nice to be able to have them be responsible for 
installing and updating rbslack with the rest of us managing the mapping of 
review groups to Slack channels.
