Add properties: locksettings and nonewdevices

[Domkra]

Hi all
I work for a larger company and they want new users to get No New Devices and Lock Account Settings automatically when creating the user so that it looks like the picture.

Currently, I can only set the "No new device groups" and "No tools" permissions in the configuration file. This means that I would have to assign the no new devices and lock account settings permissions to each user who needs to use Meshcentral individually, which could be a lengthy process.

I was thinking of adding a change that would allow the following to be added to the configuration file

  "newAccountsRights": [
    "nonewgroups",
    "notools",
    "nonewdevices",
    "locksettings"
  ],

I had an idea and tried to implement it by adding the following lines to common.js.

    if (r == 'locksettings') { newAccRights |= 1024; }
    if (r == 'nonewdevices') { newAccRights |= 4096; }

After my changes, I was able to make this configuration in the configuration file.

would it be possible to apply this change permanently, because currently every update overwrites this change and you would have to adapt it again and again.

just looking at the source code,
the 'add agent' buttons can already be hidden IF the user isnt a siteadmin OR if the user has nonewdevices set.
if ((mesh.mtype == 2) && ((userinfo.siteadmin == 0xFFFFFFFF) || ((userinfo.siteadmin & 4096) == 0))) {
if ((currentMesh.mtype == 2) && ((userinfo.siteadmin == 0xFFFFFFFF) || ((userinfo.siteadmin & 4096) == 0))) {
might need to look into where these can be set as i cant find a UI?

sorry ive just re-read ur whole post!
you can already set newAccountsRights under domains

{
  "domains": {
    "" : {
      "newAccountsRights": ["nonewgroups","nonewdevices"]
    }
  }
}
