Summary
Preface
I've created a wickedly cool Plane Discord bot (might open source soon) for my self-hosted instance, which can create issues through a /create-issue command.
Problem
The issue is, if I've created the API Token from my account (let's say "saad.bazaz"), then when someone creates an issue using the Bot, "saad.bazaz" appears as the actor. I would like to change the actor to be the person who created the issue via Discord (let's say it's "john.doe").
Possible Solution
- Either have API tokens "without identities", i.e. a system-wide API token, OR,
- Allow the actor to be defined in the Add Issue API
Why should this be worked on?
This makes it easier to make integrations for a team.
