Key Deliverables from TIER Release 1
TIER API: Basic Group Management Operations
TIER API: Basic Person Management Operations
Instrumenting and Monitoring TIER Components
Narrative Form: Deliverables in the WG Charter
By April 2016
- Publish and promote the adoption of a first-round set of conventions for API and data structure design. The goal is to inform and hopefully influence API development for Release 1.0 Grouper and COmanage components.
- Pair the basic group and membership management APIs with an event-driven messaging approach to the same functionality. Clarify the circumstances that favor one approach over the other.
- Assess possible models for APIs and data structures around consent.
- Document the first round requirements for administering and monitoring IAM infrastructure and specify the kinds of instrumentation needed in each component to support administration and monitoring.
