    • Requirements:
      • protected fields/frozen fields (on field level)
        • via flags ?
    • see also protecting fields: UXPROD-242 - Getting issue details... STATUS
    • bulk loading functionality performance: MODUIMP-4 - Getting issue details... STATUS
    • 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

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

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.
