verdaccio-edboxes-gitlab

verdaccio-edboxes-gitlab is the Verdaccio authentication plugin that powers the auth scheme for Edboxes's NPM registry, where purchasing clients can access TaskBotJS Pro and Enterprise. Users log in by passing, as their NPM password, a GitLab Personal Access Token, which then wires up to GitLab and generates from a user's profile a set of groups.

Assume, for yucks, that user testbob belongs to the group groupA and owns group groupB. This plugin generates group names that begin with member: for any group that the user is a member of and owner: of any group the user owns. The user's own name is also a group. So our testbob user would hae a group list that looks like this:

[
  "testbob",
  "member:groupA",
  "member:groupB",
  "owner:groupB"
]

Nothing crazy. Also nothing configurable, aside from the server. But simple. ;)
