[AI] (Bert) Marwan shahar and deleting groups in pspng? (2/20?)

[AI]  (Chris)  2/20 : Liam Hoekenga, inherited privileges.  Do they work for existing objects?

[AI for Bert]: get back to Akki Kumar about when groups that require a member will be implemented, GRP-1376: PSPNG: Support groups that require a member

[AI]  (Chris)  Chad Redman 2/22: 2 issues: The source ID drop down list doesn't really show the "IDs" Also order seems random, so it takes a while to find the right source.

[AI]  (Chris) Chad Redman: GRP-1489: Can't type multiple lines in Add Members copy/paste

[AI]  (Chris) 2/23 Yoann Delattre: null pointer on privileges

[AI for Shilen]: 2/24 email from Jeff Mccollough about delete member performance

[AI]  (Chris)  2/24: Jeff Mccollough The second issue is a redirect to the home screen if group creation is cancelled. It should be leaving the browser at the same level of view it had before the group creation screen is shown.

[AI] (Bert) 2/27: Paul Engle, I was excited when the grouper_loader_log seemed to indicate that the job finished in an hour or so. Less so once I looked at the log and realized it was actually still running its worker threads... :)

Current work tasks

·         Vivek – Attestation 

·         Misagh – not active


Chris – loader in UI , deprovisioning

Move context buttons from group context menu to loader tab

Make patch for readonly loader

(https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Grouper+deprovisioning), patches

Bert – PSPNG


My main activity has been around Groups-that-require-members (GRP-1376). This is developed and needs one more (docker) unit test to make sure empty groups are being deleted.

I've updated GRP-1376 with some of these details.

After this, I need to look at jexl performance and/or caching... as I think 5-50k expression evaluations might be causing pauses seen by ucsc and Michael.


I'll also respond to list questions asap and find out about Global Summit when my boss returns next week.
