Can the option is_staff be explained what it does when creating an user ?

[simenon]

It is unclear to me what the option is_staff implies when creating an user.

The API at https://pulpproject.org/pulpcore/restapi/#tag/Users/operation/users_create says

is_staff | boolean Default: false Designates whether the user can log into this admin site.

It is unclear to me what is mentioned with this admin site, and it is also unclear what functionality the user would gain with this setting.

Can the user manual be expanded with a page that describes the users and groups concept within pulp ? I can't see any page on it except a description in the developer manual https://pulpproject.org/pulpcore/docs/dev/learn/rbac/users_groups/?h=users

This is a Django concept. Pulp does not expose the admin site.
Maybe we should remove this attribute.

As mentioned earlier, this is a django concept. You can learn about the differences here: pulp/pulp_container#1783 (comment).

We decided to remove the field from the serializer.

I'd like to suggest a default role that makes it simple to make more admins. One role that can be added to a user or group to delegate that role to any user.
