Feature Request: Invite System for User Registration

No se nombran archivos, pruebas ni puntos de entrada. Empieza por localizar el flujo de registro existente y la configuración, y determina después cómo un panel de administración o una herramienta de línea de comandos podría generar invitaciones de un solo uso, de varios usos o con límite de tiempo junto con los métodos de registro actuales. La tarea estará terminada cuando el alcance y el comportamiento de la configuración estén definidos y cubiertos por pruebas adecuadas.

Description:

I’d like to propose adding an invite-based registration system to Node Solid Server (NSS). This would be especially useful for small instances with limited resources, allowing admins to manage their user base more efficiently.

Why This Matters

• Resource Management: Small instances often have limited bandwidth, storage, or processing power. An invite system helps control user growth to match available resources.
• Spam Prevention: Open registration can attract spam accounts, which can be costly to moderate. An invite system ensures that new users are vetted.
• Community Building: Some deployments may prefer a curated user base, inviting only trusted individuals to maintain a specific ecosystem.

Proposed Implementation

• Admins can generate invite codes via a command-line tool or admin panel.
• Option to set invite limits (e.g., single-use, multi-use, or time-limited).
• Invite-based signups would work alongside existing registration methods (configurable in settings).

Would love to hear thoughts on feasibility and whether others would find this useful. Let me know if there’s interest, and I’d be happy to explore potential approaches!
