Sorry, lots of confusion… I will be updating the wiki…  J

 

Attributes live in the namespace (in a folder) just like groups and folders.

 

So in the new UI currently you see the gear icon because that attribute definition or name lives in that folder, not assigned to that folder.  You currently need the lite UI to view attribute assignments or assign them.  Having this in the new UI is a work in progress.

Hello,

I view the diagrams on attribute framework and thanks because it help a lot but i have again questions.
I'm wondering to know if the Grouper 2.4 would allow to assign an attribute name with the NewUI ?
So, I'm wondering also to know if our usecase would be better with several AttributeDefinition and several AttributeName instead of one type and its several fields ?

So, I explain our usecase :

Currently, we have one type named "GroupeUdl" and 5 optional fields attached : GroupeUdl ---> optional fields : cn-ldap - nom-liste - type-liste - groupe-sender - date-fin (cf screen type-GroupeUdl.jpg)

Notes : cn-ldap is calculated and then filled with a hook at the creation of each group (group.setAttribute(attrIdLdap, cnValue);) - the 4 others fields are filled with AdminUI  (cf screen fill-fields-type.jpg) - all the fields are displayed with changes in groupHeader.jsp, even if they're not filled (cf screens View-fields-filled.jpg - View-fields-half-filled.jpg)

Tomorrow, with Grouper 2.4, perhaps it would be better to use Attribute Definition and Attribute Name ?

For example with the field "type-liste", we create an Attribute Definition "test-type-liste" (cf screen attributeDefinition.jpg) then, we create several values like "liste interne" and "liste modérée" (cf screens attributName-1.jpg - attributeName-2.jpg). So, with liteUI today, perhaps NewUI tomorrow ?, we can assign one (not needed several here) of thoses attributeNames to a group (see screens attributeName-1-to-group1.jpg - attributeName-2-to-group2.jpg). My idea is ok for you ?

Thanks !

Brigitte


 

My question is, if you are looking at a group in the new UI, and you click on an upcoming “attributes” tab.  You want to be able to assign this attribute and value to certain groups.  You said “We don't need this attribute for every group in Grouper, but it wouldn't bother us it if was there.”  So are there certain folders that groups live in that can get this assignment, or it could be any folder?  Is this a provisioning thing?  Does it use a change log consumer?

 

Thanks

Chris

The attribute definition and name objects do currently show up in the UI as gear icons.

 

If it was by parent folder, that might be confusing if it applied to sub folders. Looking at the UI, I would assume it would apply at that level and below.

Just curious… if it were in the UI, how do you know which groups it should show up for?  By parent folder?

Our initial confusion was understanding the relationship between attribute definition, attribute name and what the attribute was attached to. As we played with the shell and UI interface we saw where the attributes were stored, but we weren't sure how it all connected.

 

Our use case is to add an ID number to a group to help us link it to another system. Our mistaken assumption was that attributes would appear in the group admin UI like grouper loader settings, like types. So perhaps examples of an attribute use case would help with the concept.  We don't need this attribute for every group in Grouper, but it wouldn't bother us it if was there. 

 

We are not concerned with attribute permissions since we're working only at the admin level, not delegated attributes at this time.

 

 

Any direction would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

Jared & Carter

Or whatever questions you have and I can update the wiki.

Others welcome to comment too :)

Yes! Please!

We just stat down to try to figure out the attribute framework (first
time) to place some values we'd like to use when programming
memberships to another system.
