  • Requirements:

    • protected fields/frozen fields (on field level)

      • via flags ?

  • see also protecting fields: https://folio-org.atlassian.net/browse/UXPROD-242

  • bulk loading functionality performance: https://folio-org.atlassian.net/browse/MODUIMP-4

  • @Stefanie Sußmann: we are using oclcs idm tool to update Users live if there are changes in the central identity database

    if a user is change in our system this change is importet into the system of the bavarian stat library because we are sharing the same user basis

    • will bring her colleague, who's the expert on it next time

  • optional configuration to connect the users app to an external user data provider (API?)

Documentation

Maura

•  Tipps & Tricks side in the wiki is a good way to document while there is no official documentation in place

• everyone can add info on the UM there

Permission & Permission sets

next week

Future topics

Bulk loading - we think it needs requirements but there is a lot of confusion.

Passwords - questions about Shibboleth setup. 

Can users without passwords sign in in a standard interface? Patty thinks that Erin, Brooks, and her should talk to Theodor Tolstoy.

• Michelle did a quick demo of a google sheets add-on that they've been working on that could pull permissions in. Looks up who has the permissions assigned. Nice.

• She published this into the folio-labs github. google-sheets-addon

• https://github.com/folio-labs

Bjorn - interested in blocks having pre-set values like they've seen in other places.
