Feature Request: support admin_users query

[JoeJasinski]

Hi all,

It would be great if this authenticator could support an LDAP query that would designate admin_users and update that list dynamically (not require a restart). Since ldapauthenticator already has all of the machinery to access LDAP, it seems like it might be a good place to optionally populate the admin_users set based on an LDAP query. Thanks for reading.

That sounds sensible though whether or not it requires a restart is probably up to JupyterHub

Also having c.LDAPAuthenticator.admin_groups which accepts a list similar in implementation to c.LDAPAuthenticator.allowed_groups

Any updates of this issue?

Closing this in favor of #260. I'm reducing this to listing users to not change the typical behavior of Authenticator.admin_users though, but admin_groups or similar could be implemented to get admin users if they are part of an admin group. This is tracked by #239
