User & plans management

User management is done via Django Admin panel available under admin/ url.

• User Admin page have 'PROFILE' tab added at the bottom of the screen to select which Service Plan they use.
• API users should be created with 'Staff status' unchecked.
• Staff users can have null Profile. Note that users with null Profile will be allowed to upload images, but no links will be provided

Serivce Plan management is done via Django Admin panel available under admin/ url

For each service plan multiple (or none) number of thumbnail sizes may be defined, as well as if:

• plan allows linking to the original image
• user can create an expiring link to the image

Note that redefining plan's thumbnail settings or changing plan assigned to a user triggers a procedure that re-renders thumbnails of images affected by the change. This is done for demo purposes. In real life environment, this should be unhooked and run as night processing or other way that will not cause performance issues.

• temp_link_longevity will be set to 0
• link will be created in temp_link
• link expiring timestamp will be stored in temp_link_expire_time
