2021-05-05 Meeting Notes

This is a UI-only change to a single line of code.  Does displaying nested permission sets cause a problem?

In a Permissions app, we want to do the following:

• See which permissions a user has
• See which users have a certain permission set
• Assign users to permission sets (not just the other way around) 
• See what are the effective permissions for this user.
  • Listing the sub permissions included in the permission sets assigned to a user and where they come from (which sets they are from)
• See the permission sets that a specific permission is assigned to
• We discussed large numbers of nested permissions, but we decided at this time that it was an uncommon edge case.  We would find a solution later.
  

Possible issues:

• • Currently no way to lock the ability to change permission assignments only to particular apps (i.e. only be able to assign/unassign Access Services permissions to users)
    • This can be resolved internally by institutions that plan to have non-admin folks assigning permissions, and is thus out of scope for this app.
      

There was some discussion of where this app should exist.  The majority voted for a module in the Settings app.  (Unless a developer says different.)

There was a discussion regarding whether we should take responsibility for the app, with Patty as PO.  No decision was reached.
