Session flags feature request

[RikkeVestesen]

Hi

I am adding this issue about session flags.

We would like have user flags and admin flags and be able to filter based on flags.

Thanks @RikkeVestesen! In addition the implementation will make configurable:

• The names for flags.
• Optional descriptions.
• Configurable colors (default black).

Using these the session dashboard can include flags as icons that can be hovered for a tooltip and also easily distinguished by means of their (optional) color.

Feel free to add further thoughts here, otherwise I'll ping you when this is ready to pull.

I just wanted to make sure:
WIll it be possible to also define who can manage certain flags? I.e. 'foo' flag can only be set/removed by community admins but 'bar' flag can only be set/removd by test bed administrators and 'foobar' flag can be set/removed by anybody?

Yes! The idea is that such flags will be admin- and/or user-scoped in terms of who can use them and how they can be set/removed/replaced. In brief, an admin-scoped flag will only be possible to be set by admins (Test Bed or Community), and if in place, they may not be replaced/removed by Organisation users.
