Group Support Planning
I’ve been doing some thinking on how to best implement group support into the plugin. This would probably be a multi phase approach, to hopefully fulfill all requests.
NOTE: This is currently a work in progress and there is no estimate on when it will be complete
Per Blog Settings
LDAP Group mapping on a per blog, per role basis. This would all for any given blog to map each individual role to a separate LDAP group. The goal would be for these groups to automatically check for new users on logon and update accordingly. The biggest concern here is figuring out a way for the automatic updating to happen without having a huge impact on performance.
Sitewide Settings
Group based control of the following:
- Who can login to the blog (standard user)
- Who can login to the blog with automatic blog creation
- Who can’t login – deny list
Are there any other thoughts on other possible setups or anything else that others would like added? If so – please leave a comment with your thoughts!
