Dear colleagues,

The Internet2 Middleware Initiative is pleased to announce the release
of Grouper version 2.0. Grouper is designed to function as the core
element of a common infrastructure for managing access information
across integrated applications and repositories. It enables project
managers, departments, institutions, and end-users to create and manage
institutional and personal groups, roles, and permissions.

This release is a major milestone, and incorporates several enhancements
to the core Grouper functionality, increasing its utility as a key part
of an institution's core identity and access management infrastructure.
With this release, Grouper is now a fully developed Role Based Access
Control (RBAC) system. Other key features include the ability to include
users from federated institutions into group membership, improved data
connector performance (for integration with existing infrastructure),
added point-in-time audit capabilities, and web services access to most
functionality. Permission management capabilities are significant,
including a user interface (UI) to manage custom attributes,
permissions, limits, and actions. Real time provisioning will be a key
added feature in version 2.1, to follow.

For further information about this new release, to download the software
and release notes, for upgrade instructions, and a link to an online
Grouper demo, please visit

Thanks,
Tom Barton, on behalf of the Grouper Project team
