3.0Add bulk operationsMake bulk operations faster, e.g. creating or deleting a list of groups, adding or removing a list of memberships.  Add bulk hooks
3.0Redesign Grouper DDLReduce size, improve efficiency, move to single purpose tables/structure.  Simple integer foreign keys (sequence or auto increment).  Simple integer enums.  Compact core tables with external auxiliary tables.
3.0Performance diagnosticsAdministrative function to measure and diagnose the performance of a deployment
3.0Cache redesignAnalyze and improve how Grouper caches objects in and out of Hibernate.  Simply the subject API
3.0Rewrite Grouper wikiRemove old docs and make sure missing docs are added
3.1Revisit Grouper service registryIdentify services in grouper.  Make them easy to see, join, manage, document, attest, etc.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zV2kuAKOwoBFIf4GIpiQt6-NFsVkdbYdagDjGcJ7efQ/edit
3.1Re-write Grouper WSEither use SCIM or more targeted REST/JSON to streamline operations.  Proxy from old to new so legacy clients are supported.  New operations will not have SOAP or XML.  SOAP jars will no longer be in Grouper (proxy to another shim project)
?Migrate Grouper gitFor consistency, reporting, licensing reasons, Internet2 would like the Grouper git repo to be in its enterprise account instead of public git
?Simplify UIMake UI task oriented and easy to use for various types of users
?Integrate connidmidpoint uses connid for provisioning.  This is a standard.  We would like Grouper to be able to load from and provision to connid connectors.  We would also like to migrate our (non-pspng) connectors (e.g. duo, box, etc) to connid (if not there already) and share with midpoint.
?Improve notificationssupport people, groups, and email lists.  Individual email addresses are problematic.  Add ability to batch emails.  Log emails (temporarily).  User can control preferences.  Notify configure on groups.
Grouper email notifications
?Curated groupsAdd features to support Duke presentation
https://meetings.internet2.edu/media/medialibrary/2019/12/05/20191211-mckee-paranoidiam_1.pdf
?Membership constraintsAllow memberships to be able to be constrained for certain reasons, when those conditions are met, enable the membership, else disable. And keep the existing enabled/disabled dates if applicable
?Installer in UI containerMove or allow parts of the "install container" to be in the UI container.  This should allow servlets to load without any config, and walk through the setting up of the database and other things
?GraphQL WS interfaceImplement graphQL on web services
?Custom Grouper typesAllow institution specific types to be added.  Get requirements from community.
?Daily report refactorRefactor the Grouper "daily" report.  make it a dashboard on UI.  Keep calculations in attributes if they arent already there with instrumentation.  See what features we can use from Michael Gettes dashboard.  See what features from Chad Redman email on April 9, 2019 with his daily report features
?Add group graphAdd group membership graph similar to "paranoid IAM" on group screen.  See trends in membership via PIT
?Changelog improvements

Allow change log consumers or message publishers to process messages before the single threaded "change log temp" processor completes.

Or, not that change log temp is quicker, allow change log consumers to keep track of which messages they have processed so messages can be processed out of order

?

Register for notifications

Add ability for users to register to be notified of changes to specified objects. Note, there are rules to email users about changes to memberships

?Provision lifecycle eventsEvents (such as admission, enrollment, new hire, etc.) must trigger lifecycle stage transitions, role changes, affiliation changes, etc.  Those can then cause other events such as service eligibility.  Lifecycle changes or affiliations all precipitate a need for provisioning wherein roles are mapped to services / entitlements.
?Workflow state groupsThe solution must support high level workflows between states. Group memberships transitioning among workflow state groups
?Separation of dutiesThe solution must anticipate the possibility of conflicting roles in the case of multiple personae. Also allow overrides of separation of duties
?Conflicting rolesThe solutions must take into consideration that conflicting grants of authority, eg, one source indicating a grant of access and another a denial of access, must be resolvable according to the needs of each application or service context
?Handle multiple rolesThe solutions must enable individuals to have multiple roles/affiliations/relationships/whatever with the institution, each with its own lifecycle and overlapping set of access privileges needed to undertake each role. Statefulness (persistence and preservation of state) must permeate the design goals of all solution components in order to correctly and efficiently manage their access over the course of these multiple lifecycles
?Min group membership size

In loader jobs and just on groups have min group sizes
https://todos.internet2.edu/browse/GRP-2388

?Rules on individual membershipAn individual membership could have a rule that it is dependent on memberships in another group for example
?Add remaining attribute/permission operations to WSAdd permission hierarchy services for roles, actions. Limits? Any other attribute permission services?
?Add dropbox endpoint to provisioning
?UI warn, restrict, or schedule large operationsIf adding a group to another group, maybe warn, restrict, notify user that the operation will take a while to provision. Or schedule this for later?
?Copy entitlements to another userCopy entitlements to another user. Optionally include start and end dates
?Automatically clean various thingsIf a group is marked as a composite ad hoc list (and/or maybe includes / excludes), then if the membership is no longer relevant, then set an end date for some time in the future. Optionally notify. This applies to individual permissions as well. Automatically or manually clean up redundant privs (if assigned to group and individual). Automatically or manually clean up redundant memberships (group and individual)
?Add high level help or how tosFor admins or users etc
?
Direct/indirect should show on policy group
?
Security model - documentation and UI opportunities - wizard?
?
Can application owners see reference group?  via attributes

More provisioning connectors

Add further connectors to reflect specified group, membership, role, and permission information into external systems and services. Include Google provisioning (from the Unicon contribution to the PSPNG)

Scaling REST webservice

A page in the Administration guide, Grouper always available web services and client, demonstrates one way to provide always available services using a specialized client.  The CIFER REST web service will need the server-side capability to provide that always-available functionality.  In addition the REST API should be able to access multiple, read-only caches so it can efficiently handle any increase in query requests, most of which will not need to directly access the primary database. PSPNG should be able to provision to a database table, and WS should be able to read from that table (or tables) for simple operations.

Not yet assignedImprove grouper startup timeGrouper takes a while to startup in webapp or gsh command line. Some ideas were nailgun for GSH, javassist byte code enhancement with gradle, profiling, making sure grouper starts in webapp before first request.
