  • All parts of provisioning configuration are performed in the Grouper UI with helpful documentation, wizard-like interfaces, descriptive validations, and diagnostic tests.
  • All provisioners have consistent configuration concepts and terms so adding the next provisioner will be easy.
  • Configuring new provisioners or editing existing provisioners do not require Grouper to be redeployed/restarted.
  • Provisioning configuration starts with an “external system”, which is the connection information to connect to the target to provisioning to.
  • External systems can be re-used among provisioners, or for other parts of Grouper (e.g. loader, “custom UI”). The provisioner itself is configured next. 
  • Scaffolding (start with)  can help you get started with provisioning configuration.
  • There are the daemon jobs for the full or incremental sync which are scheduled.
  • All provisioners have a standard object model. Translating data from Grouper to the target format is consistent across all provisioners.
  • You configure which data from Grouper gets sent to the target and how it is formatted
  • There are provisioning-specific screens to identify which objects (groups, users, memberships, attributes) are sent to the target.
  • Provisioner specific metadata can be assigned to Grouper objects to inform provisioning actions.
  • When the provisioner is up and running, data propagation is  verified and errors info is readily available
