Add custom emoji for groups
Follow up to https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/50581, so that you can now fully add custom emoji from groups, because this issue will implement a Web UI to do so.
Problem
This issue makes it so custom emoji are possible to be made/removed.
Scope
- Upload custom emoji from top-level group scope
- Any group member can add custom emoji (meaning that this option should be made accessible to any group member)
- Group members can only delete their own emoji
- Maintainers can delete any custom emoji
- Name and avatars of people who added custom emoji are shown with the custom emoji
- When removal or deletion of member account happens, custom emoji will keep existing
- Validations to make sure that the emoji labels to not collide with existing ones
- Validations for reasonable-sized images
- Group transfers will not bring emoji along (future improvement)
- Any group member can add custom emoji (meaning that this option should be made accessible to any group member)
- The custom emoji will be available to all places in the group instance where emoji are entered
- Emoji auto completer
- Emoji menu
- Emoji reaction search
- Geo / object storage support
- Performant emoji picker per-group
Design
- Makes it available to all group members with a customization action in the left sidebar outside of settings
Validation:
- When adding new emoji, checking for name collisions in ancestor groups and descendent groups
If member left group/is removed:
- Show the user if they still exist, otherwise move this to the ghost user: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/profile/account/delete_account.html#associated-records
Tranferring groups:
- will not transfer custom emoji in the beginning (we may support this at a later stage)
