Matching is currently based on external systems ID, should be switched to userid (or configurable on a per-tenant basis, but the expectation of most institutions is that external systems ID is a key from the SIS, not an authentication token).

Suggestion from Mark: ability to test/validate the SSO config before making it live.

Bulk user import module

@Katalin Lovagné Szűcs, @Jakub Skoczen

One change: users not in feed are deactivated, not deleted.

Data migration issues

@Anne L. Highsmith

Two issues related to migrating from an existing system:

• Username is required in FOLIO, but some users don't have one in current system

  • Work is underway that could remove the requirement (from @Jakub Skoczen)

• No current support for importing proxy relationships

  • As long as we can translate the mapping of users, there's no architectural limitation to importing proxy users.
