[$450] Implement admin piece in TC plugin

[jmgasper]

Required functionality

I'd like to extend the current plugin to add a new tab and / or new options to an existing tab, on the dashboard site with the required functionality for admins.

• Admin have the ability to identify all messages from a user
• Platform must support the ability to export data on a per-user basis
• Must log who posted a message, date, time, and contents if text (seems like this is already done by default - I'm getting clarification)

Output format

The output format can be pretty raw. I don't anticipate needing to convert from what we get from the REST methods - the goal here is just to provide the data, but there are no format requirements. JSON is fine.

Discussion

As discussed in #14 , it seems like this should be doable.

@jmgasper 1. What about images and attachments uploaded by the user to the forum? Should we export these details in a json file? Should we export images/attachments as a zip archive?
Typically, users participating in challenges do not upload personal data.
If we plan to replace the existing forum, then perhaps there willbe user support category/taas groups, where users must pass verification, for example, some customers require passport verification or so on.
Images/Attachments may also contain personal data.

2. One json file will be created. The structure will be like this:

{
  "user": {}
  "discussions": [],
  "comments": [],
  "drafts": [],
  "conversations": [],
   .....
}

@atelomycterus - I'll ask about attachments and what the requirements are there. The JSON format looks great, thanks!

@jmgasper a couple of questions:

1. Vanilla easily allows to expand dashboard screens without coping-pasting views.
   I added an export button at 'Manage Users'.
   Let me know if you are ok with UI.

2. The user with permissions ('Garden.Users.Add','Garden.Users.Edit','Garden.Users.Delete') only has access to the 'Manage Users'. We can create our own permission to show/hide the export button.
   Let me know if it's required.

3. Do we need a date range filter to export data? It might be implemented as a popup.
   Now all data is uploaded per an user. Let me know if it's required.

P.S. The pull request - #16
Export data (user, discussions, comments, conversations, messages, drafts, IPs) was implemented.
Example jsons:
export-reports.zip

Open questions:

• export images/attachments
• 'forgotten' rights

[jmgasper]

@atelomycterus - Sorry for the delayed response here:

1. UI Looks fine, thanks
2. No, this will only be used by admins, so that list of permissions is fine.
3. No, I don't think we need a date range yet. If we do, we'll create a new ticket for that, thanks.

For now, don't worry about exporting images / attachments or the forgotten rights, thanks.

@jmgasper Thanks for details. Please apply PR - #16.

[jmgasper]

Looks good. I'll get feedback from Topcoder to see if this meets their needs.

Will close this once I get final clarification on a billing account change. There was a problem here that was still being resolved, sorry.

[jmgasper]

@atelomycterus - Sorry for the delay, still waiting on further clarifications from Topcoder RE: billing account.
