what we need to develop is quite simple (to explain). Users should be
able to register/login in the webclient (users data stored in a
geometryless table in the qgis project?), then, depending on what user
group the user belong, show certain layers/groups in the TOC of the web
client. User data (name, address, etc.) should be stored after the login
to allow use them in the print layouts.

One way or another we will have to develop something like that, so we
would prefer to do it the right way, upstream and in a way that can be
useful to as much people as possible.

If anyone is interested in collaborate please us know.

Cheers
