I think that https://bugs.internet2.edu/jira/browse/GRP-151 would create the proper set of groups, but I have two questions.

In addition to removing the manual steps to create the necessary include and exclude groups, it may be that sites will only wish to provision the resultant _overall group. Should the other _ groups be marked with an attribute that can be used to deselect them for provisioning (or perhaps it should be the other way around)?

Will the substrings following the _ be configurable? Eg, in your example with org21, perhaps we'd rather see the resulting included and excluded group be named org21, and would choose to apply suffixes along these lines: org21_from_sor (ie, as determined from its System of Record), org21_include, org21_sorandinclude, and org21_exclude.

Hey,


Loris and I were discussing this enhancement which would be especially useful to how Loris and I will the loader, but will also be valuable for manually created groups as well…

I think if this is a decent generic implementation, then it will not be customizable, and you can take the hook source code for this, and duplicate or subclass, and put your own customizations in there. This is probably better than making this hook customizable… since there probably wont be much code there anyways.


Still need to make sure it is all feasible…


Thoughts? Let me know sooner than later… J


Thanks,

Chris
