Support limiting acquisition unit ("teams") membership by geolocation (geofencing)

Description

Current situation or problem:

FOLIO currently supports assigning users to acquisition units (maybe "teams" in the future). Users are then able to act in the context of that unit/team from anywhere. However, it is desirable to be able to limit certain applicability of a  unit/team assignment to a particular geolocation, determined by some geolocation mechanism (eg. IP address, device location/GPS, installed browser certificate, SAML assertion, etc.)

In scope

  • A mechanism to configure geofences for acq units/teams

  • A mechanism to determine the geolocation of a FOLIO user during acq unit/team membership resolution

  • Only resolve units/teams without geolocation restriction or that are restricted to the current geolocation

Out of scope

  • Anything to do with limiting service points by geolocation

  • Anything to do with limiting permissions by geolocation
