SSO

Vince

  • Initial assumption was that SSO users would be pre-loaded via bulk user import

  • Proposal: SSO login triggers provisioning of patron record

  • Phase 1: just use SSO for authentication

  • Phase 2: use authorization metadata to assign permissions

  • Separate handling of staff/patrons? No. Patrons likely will not be logging in to

 

Bulk User Import

@Nagy István

Picking up from last week... shift from bulk pull process to a push-based API. There are plans for an API endpoint that would provide this functionality.

Need to be able to authorize an application to talk to APIs. Token-based system would provide this, Istvan will explore this with Jakob.

Push-based API needs some sort of error handling

Do we need an API that supports a batch of users to be loaded? Maybe as a 2nd pass.

 

 

Proxy user selection

@Matthew Sullivan

Demo of UI wireframes for proxy options

  • 'Proxy for' and 'Proxied by' options

  • Two options for modal that selects proxy user - one simpler search, one that is simliar to main search.
