Support SIG	Anya & Debra Howell	Charlotte Whitt	2/14/24
User Management	Maura Byrne	Maura Byrne	The UM-SIG got to see some mockups of how the UI would change if "required" fields were changed to "recommended" fields. This would solve a problem where users can be loaded via API without the "required" fields, but as soon as a someone tries to edit the user via UI, they get an error until the required fields are entered. (Whether the editor knows that information or not.) We're looking forward to seeing this in a future release.
Workflow SIG	Ian Walls Amanda Ros	Owen Stephens	Welcomed Amanda Ros as co-chair While the TAMU team is working on backend developments, the SIG met to discuss how permissions should work for workflows. Should workflows run as a dedicated user, or as the creator, or as the person kicking it off (and what about when it's scheduled)? The idea of having separate creation and approval roles was floated, so more eyes could look at a workflow before it starts. Permissions system bypassing was also a concern; it could be the case a user who has workflow permissions could do some actions they'd otherwise not be able to in the FOLIO UI. Good discussion, no final answers yet, conversation continuing in Slack channel
