Discussion

Current work tasks

Vivek –Attributes in UI

Screens for attributes names, add, edit and delete.


https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Grouper+attribute+name+editor+in+new+UI
Permission screen is more challenging . It is in LITE UI. To move to new UI, assigning is one part and viewing is another part.  The LITE UI has resources and actions (delete, edit) at the column level.  Need to design this in the new UI.   Each value will have its own action.  


DECISION: for the new UI, use the design approach used in the LITE UI

There are accessibility issues in the LITE UI, so Vivek will add those for the new UI


Matt: the New UI looks less cluttered  which is a good thing.  

• move columns to the left.  

• Remove Icons and use dropdown menus. 

• See Attribute names in the folders, display name, folder, description, attribute definition and folder, can click the MORE button.  

 
Bert – PSPN

Shilen – patches, vacation

Chad – Library updates
• wiki page  https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=122716457 

• Did one commit , replacing things identical from Maven

• Now updating libraries, it’s harder to test, takes 5 hours to do each test, could be hsql, may try w MYSQL

• So create new branch?  No, just do it and we will work through it.

• JQuery version is old and this work will help. 

• Chad can look at jQuery and at Bootstrap

• Working on UI and web services

• For UNC - Chad working on Office 365 Group

• Chad, will update this page https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/University+of+North+Carolina+Grouper+Project+Page   

 

Issue roundup

Inherited privileges

  • 3 step proces
  • Chris has done 1st step

  • Step 1, when you assign an inherited priv, it will assign to sub objects before Daemon runs. It creates a message saying it’s running.  See Grouper Release notes, last UI patch has this change

  • Steps 2 and Step 3 are more controversial:
  • Step 2: re removing an inherited  privileged… we don’t know which are assigned because of the inheritance .   but Chris says if inherited priv is removed, it should be removed from the sub objects

  • Step 3 - if you create an object in a folder and reason you had create priv is because of inheritance , than you should not have that individual priv.  

  • https://bugs.internet2.edu/jira/browse/GRP-1651
