Roman,

Thanks for the fyi note!

We are planning to participate in GCI with "Mifos Initiative" spirit and
there is no doubt it.

And please note, GSoC and GCI are two different events.

@Ed, please add more clarification if required.

it doesn't really matter than much for Fineract sine ASF
always participates as well.

stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While

RE: Self-Service API for editing client details

2016-10-25 Thread sendoro 

Dears,

Look like it has to

a. Stay as is; or
b. Alternative allow changes only when there is an approval mechanism to 
be done at back-office.


KYC issue should be clearly considered!

Sendoro

Editing self-details are not supported for self service users yet.
Considering a client's details are supposed to be verified against
some documents, do we really want to expose any API like this?

Adi,

In the current self-service API implementation, does it support
allowing a client to edit details of their own client account? I.e.
address - phone number, etc, photo, etc?
