Reviewing standings requests

Installation
Step 1 - Check prerequisites


Standings Requests is a plugin for Alliance Auth. If you don't have Alliance Auth running already, please install it first before proceeding. (see the official AA installation guide for details)


Standings Requests needs the app django-eveuniverse to function. Please make sure it is installed, before before continuing.


Step 2 - Update Eve Online scopes
Add the following scopes to the Eve Online app used by Auth on developers.eveonline.com:
esi-alliances.read_contacts.v1
esi-corporations.read_contacts.v1

Step 3 - Python installation
Activate your virtual environment and install this app with:
pip install aa-standingsrequests

Step 4 - Django Installation
Add 'standingsrequests' to INSTALLED_APPS in your Alliance Auth local settings file. Also add the other settings from the Settings Example and update the example config for your alliance.
The most important part of the settings is STANDINGS_API_CHARID, which need to be the Eve Online ID of the character that will be used to sync standings with your alliance or corporation.
Run database migrations:
python manage.py migrate standingsrequests

Copy static files to your webserver:
python manage.py collectstatic

Finally restart Django and Celery.
Step 5 - Setup app within Auth
Open the standingsrequests app in Alliance Auth and add the token for the configured standings character. This will initiate the first pull of standings. You will get a notification once the standings pull is completed (Usually within a few minutes).
Last, but not least make sure to add permissions to groups / states as required to make the new app available to users.
That's it, you should be ready to roll.
Settings Example
Here is a complete example of all settings that goes into your local settings file.
# id of character to use for updating alliance contacts
STANDINGS_API_CHARID = 1234
STR_CORP_IDS = [CORP1ID, CORP2ID, ...]
STR_ALLIANCE_IDS = [YOUR_ALLIANCE_ID, ...]

# This is a map, where the key is the State the user is in
# and the value is a list of required scopes to check
SR_REQUIRED_SCOPES = {
'Member': ['publicData'],
'Blue': [],
'': [] # no state
}

# CELERY tasks
CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE['standings_requests_standings_update'] = {
'task': 'standings_requests.standings_update',
'schedule': crontab(minute='*/30'),
}
CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE['standings_requests_update_associations_api'] = {
'task': 'standings_requests.update_associations_api',
'schedule': crontab(minute='30', hour='*/3'),
}
CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE['standings_requests_validate_requests'] = {

Permissions
These are all relevant permissions:



Name
Description




abstract standings request - User can request standings
This is the permission required to have basic access to this app and be able to request and maintain blue standings without them being revoked. IMPORTANT: When a user no longer has this permission all of their standings will be revoked.


contact set - User can view standings
See which mains the character and corporation standing have been requested by. Typically you'll probably only want standings managers to have this.


abstract standings request - User can process standings requests
User can see standings requests and process/approve/reject them.


contact set - User can export standing requests
User can download all of the standings data, including main character associations, as a CSV file. Useful if you want to do some extra fancy processing in a spreadsheet or something.



Standings Requirements
These are the requirements to be able to request and maintain blue standings. If a character or account falls out of these requirement scopes then their standing(s) will be revoked.



Request Type
Requirements




Character
• Character has been added to Auth and is owned by the requesting user. • User has the request_standings permissions.


Corporation
• All member characters of the corporation have been added to Auth and are owned by the requesting user• User has the request_standings permission.



Note that all characters need to maintain valid tokens in Auth or there standing will automatically be revoked.
Manual for Standing Managers
Standing managers have the ability to review standings requests on the "Manage Requests" page.
Standings Requests
Standings Requests are fairly straightforward, there are two options:
Reject
Reject the standings request, effectively deleting it. The user will be able to request it again however.
Actioned
The requested standing has been actioned/changed in game. The system then expects to see this request become effective within 24 hours. If it does not show up in a standings API pull within 24 hours the actioned flag is removed and it will show up as a standings request again.
Once a standing is actioned it will be maintained as an "effective" standings request. If the standing is removed in game while it is still valid in the system then it will become an active request again.
Standings Revocations
Standings will show up here in one of two situations:

The user has deleted the standings request for that contact, indicating they no longer require the standing.
The user is no longer eligible to hold active standings.

Currently it is not indicated which of these two cases (or which automatic revocation case) triggered the standing revocation.
Delete
Make sure you fully understand delete before using it, you will usually use one of the other two options instead of delete. When you delete a standings request it is literally deleted. The system will no longer attempt to manage this request or verify that it has been revoked etc. The standing becomes "unmanaged".
Undo
Turns the standing revocation into a standings request again. Useful if someone got booted from corp or auth temporarily. If they still don't have the requirements met the next time a validation pass happens then it will be turned into a revocation again.
Actioned
Same as for Standings Requests. The system will hold the revocation in the background until it sees it removed in game. If the standing has still not been unset (or set to neutral or below) in 24 hours then it will appear as a standings revocation again.
Management Commands
This app comes with management commands that provide special features for admins.
You can run any management command from the command. Make sure you are in the folder that also contains manage.py and that you have activate your venv:
python manage.py NAME_OF_COMMAND

standingsrequests_sync_blue_alts
This command automatically creates accepted standing requests for alt characters on Auth that already have blue standing in game. This can be useful when this app is first installed to avoid having all users manually request standing for alts that are already blue.
Standings created by this command will not have an actioner name set.
History
This is a fork of Basraah's standingrequests.
Big thanks to Basraah for all his effort in developing the initial version.
