Seems like it might be trouble to tie the user who invited the person to the
membership. Maybe just an end date that emails the group admins? Maybe
there was turnover of the person who invited the user and someone else should
make sure the membership should be there. The group admin. Or would the
user handle that when they get the email?

Thanks,
Chris

thanks!

We currently have a set of "sponsored IDs" in our Person Registry (ie I
can sponsor a local account, here at Brown, for Chris Hyzer; this is how
the world used to work ;-) ). On the yearly anniversary of the creation
of that Sponsored ID account our IDM system will send an email to both
the sponsor and the holder of the Sponsored ID account, asking if it
should be kept active. Without a positive response, the account moves
down the workflow steps to remove it.

I'm thinking of using the same model for "invited external guests". On
the yearly anniversary send an email to both the invitor and the
external person asking if the group membership is still needed. Its the
only way I can currently think of handling de-provisioning for these
external people.

So, I think that implies keeping the identity of the invitor with the
membership.

And, perhaps, when the set of group memberships for an external person
reaches zero we could flag that record for removal from our Person Registry.

I'd be keenly interested, tho, in hearing how other people are thinking
about handling de-provisioning for external users.
