Hi Everybody, I'm looking for a feature to give an easy way for users to select groups in order to define rights access on some resources in portlets, something similar to define groups on portlet definitions. In our context we have a massive delegation of rights and so many users aren't uPortal admin, so they don't and can't acess to uPortal groups view and in the case that they want to give access on a resource (from a portlet) they should watch on our grouper UI to find and see the exact name of the group (only way where we can define some access permissions on groups view, but this isn't perfect) and come back to the resource definition page (on the portlet). Actually our other problem - if we want a such feature - is that we should implements a group view in all our portlets where we need this feature and more it will be something "context specific" whereas i think some other uPortal deployers could need a such feature and they do not use necessary grouper, group pags or smartldap (we use this one a bit modified to avoid grouper ws) as example, so we would prefer to see something more integrated in the portal and that could be used in the community.
I wrote a page on the wiki to explain how i see the feature with a use case : https://wiki.jasig.org/display/UPC/pick+up+groups+from+a+delegated+group+manager+view So any question and discussion about this feature would be appreciated. More I need advices on the best way to develop this feature and if someone have interest or could provide any help don't hesitate to take part of this discussion ;) Thanks Julien -- You are currently subscribed to [email protected] as: [email protected] To unsubscribe, change settings or access archives, see http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/JSG/uportal-dev
