14. Lite UI AJAX components for simple end-user tasks URL links directly to a group Integrated within Grouper UI webapp Two entry points: Admin UI & Lite UI Admin UI uses new components too More Lite UIs may be contributed by deployers 14

15. Performance 15

16. Audit Who did what when … Add/delete/update membership, group, folder, and Grouper privileges Attribute definition & assignment XML import Move/copy group or folder Audit reporting via Grouper Admin UI & Grouper Shell 16

17. Move & copy Copy/move groups/folders to another folder Why? Template groups & template folders Update organizational hierarchies Old group name optionally continues to refer to moved group Supported by Grouper Admin UI & Grouper Shell (Grouper-WS soon) 17

18. Notification Near real time provisioning of group info Group, membership, folder, and privilege changes Serialized Provided to registered consumers SQL & API access to transactions LDAP provisioning connector will use in v1.5.1 18

19. Attribute framework Assign custom attributes to principal Grouper objects Groups Folders Memberships Attributes Will have several value types, multi-values, etc Only an enumerated type in 1.5.0 Attributes are objects in folders, like groups, and their security model is similar to that of groups 19

20. Roles & permissions Role extends Group, links Subjects with Permissions Permission is a type of attribute assigned to a role or to a membership in a role Has an Action qualifier, eg, Read or Write Permission sets. Eg, organizational hierarchies Superior roles inherit subordinate permissions 20

21. Grouper & Identity Services Grouper’s roles & permissions are only low level capabilities, initially No high level interfaces have been implemented or even defined yet Looking for help with that from MACE- Paccman and from partner sites More later in this conference about Grouper and identity service interfaces in Kuali and in uPortal 21

22. Grouper roadmap Current version is 1.5.0 v1.5+ Notification enhancements Attribute & permission enhancements New LDAPPC = shibboleth AA + SPMLv2 v1.6 Point-in-time audit Role management interface uPortal integration Kuali Rice integration 22
