User-specific parameters
🗒️area-templates🟢open
Hey folks, neat tool. Is there any way to setup some form of "user specific parameters"? I'd like to create some key/value pairs that are tied to specific users, then access them in templates.
My use case here is that I'd like to tie user-specific values, such as git name and email, and GPG signing key for commits, to a user, and automatically setup workspaces to use these. These could alternatively be provided by users as parameters for every new workspace, but it's pretty tedious and easy to make a mistake with this approach.
This could probably be accomplished via external auth to some secret store, but this has some big downsides:
* Sending users to another application, and ensuring that values are set ahead of time
* Needing to run something heavy like Vault (AFAIK there are no lightweight secret managers out there that support OIDC auth and a web UI)
Tangentially related, is there any way to get workspace owner user claims from a template? With this I could maybe hack something together, though I'd prefer to not dump secrets into claims.
