[Qgis-user] Experiences using QGIS + PostgreSQL/PostGIS in a multiuser environment?

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi, 

I wonder what is best practice to handle auth configs across several
users for sharing of projects? 

Should we ask users to create the same auth-config ids/names to make
projects interoperable, where each users would have different
credentials, but share the auth-config id that is stored in the QGIS
project file? 

Is this how we should do it? Otherwise users would end up with different
auth-ids and then can't open QGIS files from their colleagues without a
hassle ... 

Or are there better/alternative approaches?

The user group may consist of up to 15 people, mostly using QGIS but one or two may use other software (non OS). Data is almost exclusively of vector type. The use is within a single organization.

I understand basic management routines are critical (user management, user rights), as well as a sound backup and update strategy. I also understand that proper data management procedures have to be in place, like rules for table creation and eventual deletion, attribute selection, etc. But what else can go wrong with this kind of setup if not managed properly?
