[HOT] Job with restricted access to a list of given users

[Pierre GIRAUD]

So the idea is to have a job set as "private" on the one hand and a
"whitelist" of users for this job on the other hand.

Here's the procedure :
 - go to the job's edit form page : http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/{job_id}/edit,
 - ensure that the job is private by checking the corresponding
checkbox in the advanced options,
 - go to the job's users list page : http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/{job_id}/users,
 - select a user in the list and press the "add" button.

You're done. The job should only be accessible to the users in the
above list and to admin users.

If the user you're looking for isn't in the list, it may be because
this user never logged to the tasking manager.
It's possible to create users in advance but I would not recommend
doing so to avoid problems due to typos.

Last note: the tasking manager doesn't currently support changes in
OSM usernames.

Regards,
Pierre
