Release | Item | Description |
|---|---|---|
2.0 | Lite UI enhancement | Support easier to use end-user UI components in addition to the existing administrative UI. Initial component, for managing membership of a single group, is in v1.5. |
1.6+ | Grouper Web Services enhancement | Continue adding capabilities to meet requirements from the field. |
1.6-2.0+ | Notification of changes | In v1.6, build on the initial implementation of incremental group, membership, and folder (or namespace) change notifications in v1.5 to provide notification based on flattened group membership to more efficiently enable relying parties to maintain membership lists. Also in v1.6, partner with a deployment using an asynchronous messaging infrastructure (perhaps an ESB) to drive enhancement of the toolkit for that style of data integration. |
1.6-2.1 | Ldappc NG | Complete work on the new Ldappc, built from the Shibboleth Attribute Resolver and SPML components. Integrate with Grouper notifications for asynchronous, incremental updating in addition to periodic batch style updating. Includes specific support for Active Directory. Produce a packaging of Ldappc NG as a Shibboleth DataConnector for Grouper. |
2.0 | Point in Time Audit | Query the state of the groups registry at a prior point in time. |
2.0 | Rules | Declarative triggers that perform changes to the Grouper Registry. |
2.0 | Federated group membership and privileges | Built-in support for memberships and Grouper privileges to be assigned to federated identities. |
2.0 | Federated group management | Enable groups from autonomous Grouper instances to be referenced by and incorporated into another Grouper instance. |
2.0 | PDP | The Grouper permissions web service takes into account allow/disallow and limits to give the decision of access back to the requestor |
post-2.0 | uPortal-grouper integration | Complete Phase II deliverables. Time frame for Phase III deliverables still to be determined in concert with uPortal team. |
Not yet assigned | Dynamic group membership | Dynamically maintain groups and memberships based on conditions external to Grouper. The Loader does this for RDBMS sources using a combination of SQL and Loader-specific configuration. New capabilities to be developed will include linking groups and memberships to LDAP-resident attributes. |
Not yet assigned | GrouperWS high availability | In-built load-balancing to enable highly available read-only access to the Groups Registry via web services. |
2.2 | New Grouper UI | Grouper has its administrative UI, the Lite UI, and as of v2.0, additional Lite-like UIs for attribute, role, and permission management. Further, several substantial UIs have been created by Grouper users, usually designed to meet needs in a specifically identified context. This roadmap item is aimed at addressing how Grouper should engage, support, or borrow from these efforts to provide UI capabilities that are closer to contextual needs more often than at present. |
Not yet assigned | Unix GID management | Built-in support for managing unix GIDs. Probably by building on community contributions. |
Not yet assigned | COmanage freshener | Incorporate Grouper Lite UI, Ldappc-ng, and other capabilities into COmanage. |
On-going | Community contributions | Solicit and publicize community contributions of extensions and complements to Grouper. |
