Subject: Re: [grouper-users] grouper api version 2.2.0. Is there a way to give a customized name to group while provisioning it in LDAP

 

Siju,

We name our group the name we want it to be in active directory and use the folders as organizational tools, not as functional names. We also use globally unique group names in grouper so each group name must include the name of the app/service/etc.

 

For example, if we needed a group called ru-sharepoint-users, the supporting groups would be:

 

ru-sharepoint-users

ru-sharepoint-users_systemOfRecord

ru-sharepoint-users_includes

ru-sharepoint-users_excludes

ru-sharepoint-users_systemOfRecordAndIncludes

 

Then we don't publish any of the "_" groups to active directory.

Hi,

   I am Siju Jacob from Rutgers University IT Team. I am new to Grouper.

We are trying to provision a group from grouper active directory.  Is there a way to give a customized name to group in active directory when we provision it there instead of same group name as in grouper.

   For example we have Users group in grouper, while provisioning it to Active directory we want it to be named as ru-sharepoint-users

 

   Please let me know if there anyway we could achieve this.

 

Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated..!

 

Thanks,

Siju

Subject: [grouper-users] latest UI patch: attribute name editor and inherited privilege improvement

 

The latest UI patch (grouper_v2_3_0_ui_patch_37) that Vivek and I have been working on contains two enhancements:

 

1.       Attribute name editor

GRP-1648: Move attribute def name create/view/edit Lite UI to New UI
https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Grouper+attribute+name+editor+in+new+UI

2.       Inherited privileges immediate assignment.   If you assign inherited privileges in the Grouper UI it will immediate propagate to descendant objects.  If this takes longer than 20 seconds it will continue processing in a thread and tell the user it is happening.  If it takes less than 20 seconds the UI will let the user know it is done.

GRP-1651: inherited privileges should assign those privileges to subobjects

 

Thanks

Chris
