[jira] [Closed] (VCL-285) create a blacklist user group

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-285?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Josh Thompson closed VCL-285.
-----------------------------
       Resolution: Won't Fix
    Fix Version/s:     (was: 2.4)

I created this issue. Removing a user's access does not take long after looking the user up in User Lookup. Having a black list user group would not add much.

> It could be useful to have a special user group named "blacklist" to be able to quickly block a user from having access to anything.  The authorization code would check for users to be a member of that group, and if so, negate any other access.
> User's current reservations should not be reloaded.  The frontend could change the state to something like 'freeze'.  The backend would then kill any connections, block access, and possibly power computers off.
