User base access in openwrt 19.07

For Developers

I've removed the first part of my reply, because there's more to it then just editing the acl's unfortunately. The method provided, is a far better approach and is within the intended use of the acls.

If you'd like to create multiple OpenWRT Luci users with varying access, you can following these steps:

    Create a local user account
    Add the user to the RCP configuration and define access level

See sample excerpt from /etc/config/rpcd config below:

config login                     
        option username 'adminuser'
        option password '$p$adminuser'
        list read '*'
        list write '*'
                              
config login                     
        option username 'readonlyuser'
        option password '$p$readonlyuser'
        list read '*'

This also works if you're obtaining an authentication token for JSON-RPC calls to Luci.

Haven't tested it myself, but from what I can recall from way back when I was maintaining the luci-multi-user pkg, this would be a better method. You'll have to do some digging and or confirm this yourself...
