1150680 - add logout function

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Release Engineering Graveyard :: Applications: Balrog (frontend), enhancement)

Description

[u429623]

I always like to log out of administrative services. Helps prevent PEBKAC errors.

Looks like the best that can be done now is to close the tab.

I don't think this is possible because it uses HTTP Auth...

Considering how hacky this would be with HTTP auth(sending a known bad username/password to force the logout), I don't think this is worth doing yet.

We'll likely want to move to Okta at some point, and this should be easier to do afterwards.

Yeah, this is WONTFIX. We will be changing auth in some way in the future.
