Allow users to restart Apps

[gzowner]

Can we setup a permission somewhere, allows users to restart their own apps? SO the admin doesnt have to do it.

@gzowner You can make specific users operators - https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/#operators . Operators cannot change an app's location or uninstall an app , but they can do other admin things.

but dont want them to see other things. just the ability to restart.. ?

That is currently not possible and we don't have plans to have such a fine-grained permission system.
Depending on your use-case to restart those apps, you could also write a small script/app using the rest api to perform those steps.

@gzowner surely that's what admins are for ?

restarting an app may be trivial operation but it's usually because of another issue, so it's not a user level operation

if you really need this facility, it may be possible to set up a script (running with admin permission) to restart. either for the admin to run or add some security / interface for user to trigger
