Grouper at New York University
October, 2013
NYU has been running Grouper for several years. Our production instance now sports some 125K folders, 204K groups and
500K members -- mostly consisting of groups created to mirror class enrollments.
We have only used Grouper for a few applications to date, but are now embarking on a major project to integrate groups
across Sakai, Grouper and Google Groups, with implementation in the Spring 2014 timeframe.
A major challenge for the future is figuring out how best to manage groups and make group data available across a number
of tools: Grouper, Sailpoint IIq (our newly adopted role/account management system), LDAP, Active Directory.
