Current work tasks

Vivek – Permissions in UI
• Good progress on moving permission screens to new Grouper UI

• Roles screens were previously moved

• Subject permissions screens moved recently

• Vivek will “timebox”  work on enhancements to the screens to expedite the release

• Record ideas for improvements in Jira

• [Ai] Chris record ideas on permissions in UI from discussion on March 7 Grouper call with Vivek and team



Chris –patches, deprovisioning, performance issues, delete old objects
• Chris and Chad will work on performance issues from tests Chad has done

• Chad will summarize the issues

• Chris has worked on members, groups, stems, attributes def, names, assignments and actions to satisfy the performance issues Scott raised



Bert – PSPNG


Shilen  
• Looking at Subject API to see what needs to be done

• Subject API is its own Jar

◦ it was architected  this way for Signet project years ago

◦ Signet project went away.  This architecture is now inconvenient

• Shilen will roll the Subject API into the Grouper API, to eliminate the separate jar




• Grouper 2.4 will use ldaptive

• Config option will be in loader properties

• Leave vtldap in for a while

Patches should be bite sized
• Chris notes classes are too big/monolithic and this interferes with patches

• Try to split classes apart where possible



Chad – Library updates, tomee
• Working on testing

• Chad will commit Perl script,  

• Worked on subject libraries, needs access  to LDAP directory, are LDAP specific subject tests still needed?  Consult with Bert. Sharing Docker recipes will be helpful.

• Shift to Postgres? Get rid of HSQL?  Think about this on future call.

• Move to bulk functions?
