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
