Multiple accounts / Settings per project

[dratushnyy]

Allow adding multiple gerrit accounts: for example
account for review.openstack.org and separate account for review.gerrithub.io

How would you like to configure multiple accounts?

One account per IntelliJ project would be enough?

[ohhmm]

As for me, this approch would be enough. But ability to add multiple gerrit repositories once might be even better.

I think the user interface would need a massive refactoring in order to allow multiple Gerrit servers in one project. If you have any ideas how this could look like, please let me know.

[ohhmm]

I'd added listbox for multiple Gerrit urls and '+', '-' buttons after
'Test' button. Select an item could fill text fields.
Any project could be searched on all gerrits.
Link to the gerrit could be specified in pachset details text field, but we still have open in gerrit though.
When submitting to review, If more then one gerrits where the project hosted then we need to select.

One server/account per IntelliJ project(or module) would be a great improvement and would probably satisfy most requirements. I would think that moving the gerrit configuration into the project settings or creating a gerrit facet at the module level would make this possible.

Please don't put off that level of integration for a redesign of the UI to support multiple accounts per project.

I have thought a bit about this feature request. Would be nice if you could comment if my proposal makes sense for you.

At the moment, all Gerrit settings are application global (i.e. for all projects) used. This makes it impossible to use different Gerrit instances for different projects. I think it would make sense to move settings "Host", "Username" and "Password" (in current fieldset "Login") to project scope. All other settings (in current fieldset "Settings") could stay in application scope (UI should show a hint for that). Except that additional hint, the UI does not need any changes.

One disadvantage of this change is, that users with multiple clones of the same project need to enter login information for every (new) project.

Migration: I think it would make sense to transfer the current login settings to every project automatically when no project level settings are available. Then users can change it if they need to.

[ohhmm]

This looks good

I like the proposed implementation. Do you have any idea when this might be implemented?

[dburnazyan]

This is must have!

[gleasonp]

Excellent proposal for the implementation. Any idea as to when this might be implemented?
