=Topics=

Stable escidoc-core release 1.2

 * depending on test results
 * are there more interface (xsd) changes?
 * container migration cross-checking again
 * questions on interface changes:
 * CModel changes:
 * do we have to modify all existing cmodels if DC transformation needs to be supported?
 * do we have to bring in exact list of metadata records in the cmodels?

Outcome

 * pubMan new release will not be delivered on 1.2
 * container migration:
 * no need to be done manually anything, unless older versions need to be kept
 * CModel:
 * existing cmodel objects do not contain any data
 * migration will take care about the needed data modeification for the CModel
 * as long as we only use the identifiers of the CModel things are fine, no code is affected
 * no further interface changes are in, except those with the development version of 1.2

some security issues

 * privileged viewer vs. 1.1.4

Outcome

 * release is nearly ready, only a decision is needed
 * will contain fix for 776 and additional fixes in the login-form and retrieve grants via REST, scan clause

Local Administrator - OU Administrator role
Discussion and outcome
 * OUAdmin role
 * input: it is not possible to create a user account with the OU in place (due to changes in 1.2)
 * Proposal&outcome - during discussion:
 * create new UserAdmin role
 * create/modify/de-activate/activate user accounts (if user-acount is created by user who created the user-account)
 * create new OUAdmin role
 * create/modify/... org units within a parent OU (given as a scope)
 * grant / revoke OUAdmin privs for OU with same scope
 * create 2 new roles ContextOwner, ContextAdmin
 * owner: create/modify/open/close contexts (all with own context)
 * admin: modify/open/close contexts for his scope
 * related to https://www.escidoc.org/jira/browse/INFR-718
 * will 1.2 support that users who created the context are able to grant privileges for this context as well?
 * same question applies to OUs
 * Outcome: created-by are supported for ctx and ous, not for users, some policies can be created already in 1.2
