2026-08-01Require a second factor for elevation, not for holding adminerdgeist
2026-08-01Show and extend the elevation windowerdgeist
A banner appears while elevated, counting down in minutes and carrying extend and drop controls. Three extensions of 30 minutes are allowed, so the window is at most two hours without a fresh code; a code resets the budget. The countdown is advisory, the server-side check authoritative, so it says "expired" rather than vanishing. The post-login flash tells an admin the timer has started.
2026-08-01Require a fresh second factor for user managementerdgeist
Administrative actions are gated behind a 30-minute elevation window: creating and retiring accounts, editing roles, clearing a second factor. Reading the list is not gated, and content work is untouched. elevated? is tied to is_admin?, so losing the role closes the window at once. The window opens when the second factor verifies at login, so an admin heading straight for user management is already elevated, and closes on logout with the other session state. Five wrong codes end the session, mirroring the login challenge. users#update carries no elevation filter, since self-service reaches it; the role field is gated in user_params instead and fails closed.
2026-07-31Group user accounts by roleerdgeist
Replaces the two-way admin/user split with four groups ordered by capability: administration, Redaktion, editors, alumni. alumni takes precedence over capability in role_group, so a retired admin appears at the bottom rather than the top. Forms now offer the three roles as checkboxes rather than a single admin checkbox, with a trailing hidden blank so an empty set can be posted, and user_params permits roles only for admins. Three create buttons prefill the common combinations.
2026-07-24Give all sessions a uniform absolute lifetime of one weekerdgeist
Enforced at restore via a login-time stamp, written only at genuine logins so the limit stays absolute rather than sliding. The cookie name rotation logs everyone out once at deploy. Second-factor users are deliberately not treated worse than password-only ones.
