Sync-able Group attributes from Remote Crowd directories

    • Our product teams collect and evaluate feedback from a number of different sources. To learn more about how we use customer feedback in the planning process, check out our new feature policy.

      • add an optional expand parameter to REST group search: "attributes"
      • syncing attributes will be any attribute with a name starting with "synch."
      • on full synchronisation of a Remote Crowd directory, ensure that all group attributes beginning with "synch." are made to reflect the remote directory
        • any that exist internally, but not in the remote will be removed
        • any that don't exist internally, but do in the remove will be added
        • any that have differing values will be updated to the remote value
      • on incremental synchronisation of a Remote Crowd directory, apply any changes to group attributes beginning with "synch."
      • only Remote Crowd directories will sync group attributes
      • this does not apply to User attributes
      • this does not apply to attributes that do not start with "synch."

      This feature is so that we can make meaningful changes to groups within the parent Crowd that can be reflected in the child applications.

            [CWD-4084] Sync-able Group attributes from Remote Crowd directories

            Just a note to clarify the behaviour of "synch." attributes with cached Remote Crowd directories: the synchronisation has been implemented only in the downstream direction. That is: updates in the Remote Crowd directory will be propagated to the cached directory, but updates in the cached directory will not be propagated upstream to the Remote Crowd directory.

            One of the reasons to synchronise only in one direction is that we still have to design how to control which applications have permission to update the synchronised attributes (CWD-4106).
