Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

["Hyzer, Chris" <>]

When we did orgs at penn we had a problem during a reorg, things get renamed.  Or if buildings get renamed potentially?  This can happen if the hierarchy changes, or the group name changes, or the building changes.  We changed to a flat structure but still kept the relationships.

 

What is a “building group”, is it something that can move to another building?  If so maybe keep those in another folder?

 

Also you might want to put this in basis or ref to be consistent with current naming conventions.

 

What you have looks fine but you might want to consider:

 

System name: root:ref:buildings:building_1234

Display name: root:ref:buildings:building 1234 Scott McDonald Building

 

System name: root:ref:buildingGroups:buildingGroup_2345

System name: root:ref:buildingGroups:buildingGroup 2345 Math Dept

 

root:ref:buildingGroups:buildingGroup_2345 would have all people in that group

root:ref:buildings:building_1234 would contain root:ref:buildingGroups:buildingGroup_2345

 

Something like that?  Try to name things so they wont be renamed later

 

Thanks

Chris

Subject: [grouper-users] building as group in grouper

 

Hi Team,

 

                     We have a requirement to create office/campus building as a group in grouper with all the tenants as subjects. Just need your advice on what will be the best approach in terms of folder structure and group naming convention for this requirement. You could also point me to any similar use case online, if available.

 

Does the below structure looks good (building folder directly under Root or it should be under any other standard folder name)

 

Root -> buildings –> building name - > building group name

     Any advice or guidance will be of great help and would be greatly appreciated..!

 

Thanks,

Siju
