This is Penn's experience implementing the Grouper organization hierarchy.  Note, we used to put the fully qualified org name in the group name, but now we have the group name as the org extension without the ancestor path.

This is the size of our org implementation:

  • 27,000 people in orgs at Penn
  • 2,200 orgs (700 leaf nodes, 1500 rollup nodes)
  • 3,000 org groups (more due to include/exclude lists)
  • 500,000 org memberships (there are a lot due to the rollups, and include/exclude lists)

Performance:

  • Org loader: 1 minute 20 seconds (after the first load), which equates to 630 groups and 24000 immediate memberships per minute
  • Rollup loader: 1 minute 40 seconds (after first load), which equates to 1000 groups per minute
  • Center loader: 40 seconds
  • Consultant loader (currently one group managed): 4 seconds

General approach

  • We have a view of orgs and parent id's, and a view of assignments of org to person
  • There are a few loader jobs:
    • One that manages all the leaf node orgs groups (assigns people to org groups)
    • One that manages all the non-leaf rollup nodes (assigns orgs to parent org groups)
    • One that manages Penn "centers" which are our high level organizations (assigns direct center children orgs to center groups)
    • One that manages contractor groups.  We dont have contractors assigned in our org structure, so we manage them through attributes in our person database.  Then we can manually make other groups next to the org rollup which includes the org rollup and the contractor group
  • We will run all these jobs once daily after our payroll jobs run
  • Grouper include/exclude automatically creates include and exclude lists which are tacked on to the system of record group.  This is useful in loader jobs since the loader system of record list is resynced with the DB query with each run, so manual changes will be undone.  Penn actually only needs "include" lists, not exclude at this point (use case is VP's are in a different org than the org they manage, so we want to add them in).  So we will have include/exclude groups on the rollup groups, the centers groups, and the contractor groups.  We dont think we will need them on the leaf nodes, though if we have a need later, we can add it in.  The reason not to do this is performance, it creates a bunch more groups and memberships.

Here are the steps to creating a loader SQL_GROUP_LIST job:

  • First of all, you should prefer using views, and simply put simple select from the view in the loader config.  It is also easy to tell what the loader is going to do without hunting through the loader configs, and easy to make changes at runtime (though I believe the loader allows runtime query changes as well)
  • Note: if you are using include/exclude, then the group names should have the system of record suffix which is configured in the grouper.properties
  • Make a view of groups where each row represents a group.
    • There is a col for the group name, display name (optional), description (optional), and security (e.g. readers, viewers, etc: optional)
    • This view will set these attributes of group and auto-create groups which have no members (might be useful for orgs since apps can refer to groups which have no members)
    • Note: if you can give groups a unique suffix in the stem structure, then the job can use the setting "grouperLoaderGroupsLike" which will delete groups which are no longer in the group list
  • Make the query which returns the subjectId (and sourceId if not the default loader source), and group name
    • For leaf nodes, this is generally a simple query that assigns people to org groups
    • For rollup nodes, this can be a little complex.
      • First of all, you might union the direct rollup children with the direct rollup leaf nodes
      • The subjectId for groups is the group_id.  for Grouper 1.4, you can join to the grouper_attributes table.  For 1.5 you can simply join to the grouper_groups table.  In both, you can join to grouper_groups_v if you like.  What I did for 1.4 is: grouper_attributes ga, grouper_fields gf where gf.NAME = 'name' AND gf.ID = ga.field_id and ga.VALUE = ocrv.MEMBER_GROUP_NAME.  I would definitely keep these query in a view.
      • You should also specify the source id for groups: 'g:gsa' as SUBJECT_SOURCE_ID
  • Configure the config group for each loader job.  I put this next to the top level loaded stem.  I generally do this in GSH, though you could also do this in the UI
  • Kick off the loader job manually in GSH so you can verify the results without waiting for the cron to run
  • Restart your loader so it picks up the new job

Person orgs (leaf nodes)

  • Lets make a function which strips out special chars:

CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE AUTHZADM.authzadm_pkg
AS

   FUNCTION remove_special_chars (the_input varchar2)
      RETURN varchar2;

END authzadm_pkg;
/

CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY AUTHZADM.authzadm_pkg
AS

   FUNCTION remove_special_chars (the_input varchar2)
      RETURN varchar2
   AS
     the_string varchar2(4000);
   BEGIN
     --take out anything not alphanumeric, space, underscore, or dash
     the_string := REGEXP_REPLACE(the_input, '[^a-zA-Z0-9 _\-]', '');
     the_string := trim(the_string);
     return the_string;
   END;

END authzadm_pkg;
/
* Implement the view of orgs.  Note, in the view you can easily use unions in the sql to end the hierarchy at a different node.  At first we were going to do this, then we decided against it.  However, you will see that we do filter out certain branches and nodes.  Also note we shorten the names of some top level nodes.

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW ORG_LIST_V

Contractors and one-offs

We dont have groupings of contractors in our payroll system, but we can set a flag in "Penn Community" our person database.  So lets organize a way to automatically make groups based on flags.  Lets make a table which identifies the flags we are looking for, and which group extension

CREATE TABLE ORG_SPONSOR_GROUP (
  GROUP_EXTENSION    VARCHAR2(128 CHAR)         NOT NULL,
  LIKE_STRING_UPPER  VARCHAR2(128 CHAR)
)
* Currently we only have one row
GROUP_EXTENSION    LIKE_STRING_UPPER
96XX_consultants   96XX
* Lets make the meta view that describes the groups managed by this loader
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW ORG_SPONSOR_META_V
(GROUP_NAME, GROUP_DISPLAY_NAME, GROUP_DESCRIPTION, READERS, VIEWERS,
 GROUP_OVERALL_NAME, GROUP_EXTENSION)
AS
select 'penn:community:employee:sponsororg:' || osg.GROUP_EXTENSION || '_sponsororg:' || osg.GROUP_EXTENSION || '_sponsororg_systemOfRecord' as group_name,
'penn:community:employee:sponsororg:' || osg.GROUP_EXTENSION || '_sponsororg:' || osg.GROUP_EXTENSION || '_sponsororg system of record' as group_display_name,
'people in penn community with a substring of ' || osg.LIKE_STRING_UPPER || ' in their sponsor_org field somewhere' as group_description,

'penn:community:employee:sponsororg:' || osg.GROUP_EXTENSION || '_sponsororg:' || osg.GROUP_EXTENSION || '_sponsororg' as group_overall_name,
osg.GROUP_EXTENSION
from org_sponsor_group osg
* The data from that view looks like this

Putting it all together

We need a group for all employees in Facilities and Real Estate Services.  We need to add the VP (who is not in the Facilities org), and we need to add the contractors.  I will add this in the org structure, so people can easily find it.


  • Add the VP to the includes list of the org.  Note, this means that for all purposes, additions are considered part of the org, and part of the center (since the org is part of the center)
  • Now make a group which has the org group, and the consultants
  • Here are the two members
  • Here are all members
  • Protect a web resource in apache by requiring members to be in this group (note: authnz_ldap apache module grabs all members of the group unless a patch is applied that Penn developed which is not yet public)
