2020-11-11 Meeting Notes

Which JIRA ticket should be addressed first?  UXPROD-2728 (Delete users through the API) or UXPROD-2388 (Delete users through the UI)?  We decided we wanted the API deletion first.

Our initial list of patron blocks that would have to be absent or resolved was the following: Unexpired proxy borrower/sponsor relationship; Loans; Fines; Requests.

There was some discussion of the Proxy/Sponsor relationship.  Do we need to worry about it while deleting users?  Yes, because it's a dependency.  That relationship should be expired.  If we delete the proxy, do we delete the sponsor as well?  Probably not.  If we delete the Sponsor, should we silently end/expire the relationship with the proxy?

The user stories for both tickets are essentially the same, the only difference being the method we use for deletion. 

Should the API deletion return a report of the number of users deleted?  Can we have it return UUID and barcode for each user deleted?  Can we add the name of the deleted user as well?

In the UI, a "delete user" button should only show up in the full user record.  If there are dependencies, there should be a pop-up message saying that the user couldn't be deleted, and list the dependencies that have to be dealt with.

Any user deletion, whether through the UI or the API, should check for dependencies before doing the deletion.

What format should the report of deleted users be in?  Should we use JSON, or .CSV format?  Should it be visible as an in-app report in the UI?

The API can only output JSON.  The UI can translate that to CSV. 

Leipzig might be able to take on this ticket, because it's a high-priority ticket for them.

Björn and Patty will discuss, and invite Andrea Loigman, Cate Boerema and Annika for next week's meeting.
