TEAP - The Enterprisey Administration Project

Overview

This project aims to centralise an interface for open-source based intranets - it aims to provide an administrator-friendly interface that would translate requirements into actions needed to be performed on:

• Nextcloud installation,
• LDAP server, and
• more to come.

Motivation of the project

The project is aimed to assist large organizations in managing their intranets. Such organizations typically make heavy use of groups - a group may indicate for example

• Geographical location (city, country, ...),
• division (Legal, HR, Engineering, ...),
• projects one is involved in,
• services one needs for work (git, accounting software, ...).

Membership in a group usually means that one should have access to a shared Nextcloud folder, Rocket.Chat room, calendar, and access rights. This would mean adding a corresponding LDAP group memberships, and configuring those services either according to the LDAP setup, or according to their REST APIs. This project aims to do exactly that - according to a predefined schema, enable addition of new users, modification and removals in an automated way, hiding the complexity of the REST API and LDAP schemas behind a sleek interface.

Usage

Command-line client

You can use the client to connect to a nextcloud instance and perform basic operations. For example, the snippet below adds a new user alice to groups accounting and users:

cd src
python cli/client.py creds.ini add_user alice alices_password -g accounting -g users

The creds.ini file contains credential info, typically like this:

[credentials]

url = http://localhost
user = uname
password = pass
