Current work tasks , and next tasks

Vivek –  Grouper  Reporting  

https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/x/AoDKC

  • Making good progress
  • Regarding the use case, Penn has reporting system and moving from postgress to Oracle . It can do queries  and can be ad hoc
  • But small schools that don’t have access to Grouper Database may need reporting help.
  • Example: who is enrolled in 2step , attributes about them, used query for group lookups, Joined w attribute table
  • Sent reports w email
  • Grouper data security comes into play
  • Goal is that this should be inside Grouper, thus use case for Grouper report feature
  • Should cron a report , just like the loader
  • Could be stored in the database eventually
  • If you’re in group allowed to see the report, you optionally get a report saying the report is ready.
  • Some concern with letting users run arbitrary SQL
  • Only certain people will be able to run reports (like with the loader)
  • Campus managers want reports out of Grouper.
  • Duke gets requests for simple reports on a group,
  • Can show trends on memberships using point in time audit
  • Today on most campuses Grouper reports are run on demand when needed 
  • Perhaps we should re use the model of change log consumer
  • Where a report gets defined and then can be tied to other structures
  • At OSU, reports have been developed, but with Grouper API, not using SQL
  • Chad: using a BI system or GSH or web services calls to Grouper makes sense.
  • Would not require database access
  • Agreed  reports inside Grouper is a good idea
  • People running reports should have different privileges than those consuming.
  • Useful to put some comments on the wiki with examples of reports we currently use.
  • To see if what we are proposing can handle those. 
  • Concern that report storage tied to AWS S3 will only serve some campuses.
  • For Grouper 2.5 we should provide alternatives to S3, such as database, though perhaps there are security issues
  • Issues with storing blobs and storage allowance
