Hi all,
In UserTO, we maintain a list of static group memberships via the
MembershipTO class. However, for dynamic group membership, we just maintain
a list of Strings, which correspond to the Id of the group.
So for example, if we do a GET on a given user we could see something like:
"memberships":[{"type":"Membership","rightType":"GROUP","rightKey":"06fba4e9-a013-4ffc-bba4-e9a0133ffc79","groupName":"tempgroup"
"dynGroups":["06fba4e9-a013-4ffc-bba4-e9a0133ffc79"]
One drawback to this approach is that if we want to find the names of the
groups a user is a member of, including dynamic membership, then we need to
make a separate request with a fiql search query to return the groups, and
then parse the response appropriately.
Ideally we would be able to see the group names for the dynamic case as
well when retrieving the users - this means only one call would be needed.
Would it be possible to update UserTO with a list of MembershipTOs that
correspond to the dynamic case?
Colm.
