Subscribing to notifications

[mthuurne]

Currently it is possible to select which users to notify by e-mail when a job completes, by entering a list of e-mail addresses. It would be better though if users could subscribe to job results. This would allow users to monitor a configuration that they're not the owner of.

There could be a notifications management page for each user, where they can see which configurations they're subscribed to and be able to unsubscribe with a single button instead of having to edit the configuration.

There could also be subscription types other than e-mail. For example, a user could subscribe to configurations they want on a dashboard or custom Atom feed.

One thing that would be a little harder compared to the current approach is subscribing a non-personal e-mail address to configurations. However, that is still possible by creating a functional guest account to manage the subscriptions, so this is only a mild inconvenience.

Perhaps a configuration is not the ideal entity to subscribe to, since they can be used for both scheduled and ad-hoc executions. Subscribing to a schedule or a specific job might make more sense.
