## Summary
|
|
|
|
This PR implements comprehensive multi-user support for Trilium Notes, enabling multiple users to collaborate on the same Trilium instance with role-based access control while maintaining full backward compatibility with existing single-user installations.
|
|
|
|

## Features Implemented
|
|
|
|
### 🔐 User Authentication
|
|
- **Username + Password authentication** for multi-user mode
|
|
- **Backward compatible** with legacy password-only authentication
|
|
- Automatic detection and fallback to single-user mode for existing installations
|
|
- Secure password hashing using scrypt (N=16384, r=8, p=1)
|
|
|
|
### 👥 User Management
|
|
- CRUD operations for user accounts
|
|
- User profile management
|
|
- Username availability checking
|
|
- Secure credential validation
|
|
|
|
### 🛡️ Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
|
|
Three predefined roles with distinct permissions:
|
|
|
|
**Admin Role:**
|
|
- Full system access
|
|
- User management (create, update, delete users)
|
|
- Role assignment
|
|
- All note operations
|
|
|
|
**Editor Role:**
|
|
- Create, read, update, delete own notes
|
|
- Share notes with other users
|
|
- Edit shared notes (with permission)
|
|
|
|
**Reader Role:**
|
|
- Read-only access to own notes
|
|
- Read access to shared notes
|
|
- Cannot create or modify notes
|
|
|
|
### 📝 Note Sharing
|
|
- Share notes between users
|
|
- Granular sharing permissions (read/write)
|
|
- Note ownership tracking
|
|
|
|
### 🔄 Database Migration
|
|
- Migration v234 adds multi-user schema
|
|
- Creates `users`, `roles`, `user_roles`, and `note_shares` tables
|
|
- Adds `userId` column to `notes`, `branches`, `recent_notes`, and `etapi_tokens`
|
|
- **Automatic migration** of existing data to admin user
|
|
- Seeds default roles (Admin, Editor, Reader)
|
|
- Creates default admin user from existing credentials
|
|
|
|
### 🌐 RESTful API Endpoints
|
|
|
|
**User Management:**
|
|
- `POST /api/users` - Create new user (admin only)
|
|
- `GET /api/users` - List all users (admin only)
|
|
- `GET /api/users/:userId` - Get user details (admin only)
|
|
- `PUT /api/users/:userId` - Update user (admin only)
|
|
- `DELETE /api/users/:userId` - Delete user (admin only)
|
|
- `GET /api/users/current` - Get current user info
|
|
- `GET /api/users/username/available/:username` - Check username availability
|
|
|
|

## Security Considerations
|
|
|
|
### Password Security
|
|
- Scrypt hashing with high work factors (N=16384, r=8, p=1)
|
|
- Random salt generation for each user
|
|
- Encrypted data keys for user-specific encryption
|
|
|
|
### Session Management
|
|
- Session-based authentication
|
|
- User context stored in session (userId, username, isAdmin)
|
|
- Session validation on protected routes
|
|
|
|
### Permission Enforcement
|
|
- Middleware-based permission checks
|
|
- Role-based access control
|
|
- Admin-only routes protected
|
|
- Note ownership validation
|
|
|
|
## Backward Compatibility
|
|
|
|
This implementation is **fully backward compatible**:
|
|
- Existing single-user installations continue to work unchanged
|
|
- Legacy password-only login flow preserved as fallback
|
|
- Migration automatically creates admin user from existing credentials
|
|
- No breaking changes to existing APIs
|
|
- All existing tests pass without modification
|
|
|
|
## Migration Guide
|
|
|
|
### For Fresh Installations
|
|
1. Install Trilium with this version
|
|
2. During setup, create admin username and password
|
|
3. Admin can create additional users via API
|
|
|
|
### For Existing Installations
|
|
1. Update to this version
|
|
2. Migration v234 runs automatically
|
|
3. Existing data is associated with default admin user
|
|
4. Admin username created from existing credentials
|
|
5. Continue using password-only login (legacy mode)
|
|
6. Optionally migrate to multi-user mode by creating new users
|
|
|
|
## API Example
|
|
|
|
### Create User (Admin only)
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/users \
|
|
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
|
-d '{
|
|
"username": "john_doe",
|
|
"password": "secure_password",
|
|
"email": "john@example.com",
|
|
"fullName": "John Doe",
|
|
"isActive": true
|
|
}'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Response
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"userId": "abc123",
|
|
"username": "john_doe",
|
|
"email": "john@example.com",
|
|

|
|
"isActive": true,
|
