| Not yet assigned | UI warn, restrict, or schedule large operations | If adding a group to another group, maybe warn, restrict, notify user that the operation will take a while to provision. Or schedule this for later? |
| Not yet assigned | Update training videos | Go through training videos and either keep, re-record, annotate, or delete. Identify new training videos to make |
| ongoing | Refine next generation provisioning | Take PSPNG and feedback from the field and add more features, refine it, improve it, etc |
On-going | Grouper Core enhancement | Continue adding capabilities to meet requirements from the field. |
On-going | Solicit and publicize community contributions of extensions and complements to Grouper. | |
Not yet assigned | Register for notifications | Add ability for users to register to be notified of changes to specified objects. Note, there are rules to email users about changes to memberships |
Not yet assigned | More provisioning connectors | Add further connectors to reflect specified group, membership, role, and permission information into external systems and services. Include Google provisioning (from the Unicon contribution to the PSPNG) |
Not yet assigned | Scaling REST webservice | A page in the Administration guide, Grouper always available web services and client, demonstrates one way to provide always available services using a specialized client. The CIFER REST web service will need the server-side capability to provide that always-available functionality. In addition the REST API should be able to access multiple, read-only caches so it can efficiently handle any increase in query requests, most of which will not need to directly access the primary database. PSPNG should be able to provision to a database table, and WS should be able to read from that table (or tables) for simple operations. |
| Not yet assigned | Improve grouper startup time | Grouper takes a while to startup in webapp or gsh command line. Some ideas were nailgun for GSH, javassist byte code enhancement with gradle, profiling, making sure grouper starts in webapp before first request. |
| Not yet assigned | Rules on individual membership | An individual membership could have a rule that it is dependent on memberships in another group for example |
