[11:02:54 EST(-0500)] <athena> hey SusanB
[11:03:07 EST(-0500)] <athena> i've been doing a bunch more digging into the permissions
[11:03:58 EST(-0500)] <athena> hoping to send out an email about that later today
[11:04:06 EST(-0500)] <athena> have fallen down multiple black holes

[11:16:28 EST(-0500)] <athena> sounds like they got a lot more than we did
[11:16:28 EST(-0500)] <SusanB> ah. well i am making slow progress.
[11:16:31 EST(-0500)] <athena> glad to hear it
[11:16:59 EST(-0500)] <SusanB> whole GAP service is becoming of great interest to us for managing links in the portal. Should be fun but I am a little worried about when GAP may get replaced
[11:19:06 EST(-0500)] <athena> well, i don't think that's going to be too soon
[11:19:11 EST(-0500)] <athena> though i wish it were
[11:19:22 EST(-0500)] <athena> what are you guys looking to do w/ links? sounds interesting
[11:21:38 EST(-0500)] <SusanB> planning to maintain links with tags in Drupal (where other stuff is being developed). Drupal views feed lists of links to portal. portal mainatins links in groups with permissions to groups of persons. So one view of links can be tailored to contain only those that the user really can use. Links are to CAS-ified apps.
[11:22:31 EST(-0500)] <SusanB> apps users are maintained in AD
[11:23:53 EST(-0500)] <SusanB> yale is terribly stuck on using the portal for links but at least we can make the links personalized for the user
[11:24:18 EST(-0500)] <athena> yes, i remember
[11:24:25 EST(-0500)] <athena> this is jen, in case you didn't know
[11:24:46 EST(-0500)] <athena> sounds like an interesting use case
[11:25:16 EST(-0500)] <athena> and the changes i've been making might be of interest, i think
[11:25:40 EST(-0500)] <athena> so what i've basically found is that it looks like the permissions service respects hierarchical permissions for the owner, but not for the target
[11:25:56 EST(-0500)] <athena> is that what you've seen in uportal/
[11:25:57 EST(-0500)] <athena> ?
[11:27:18 EST(-0500)] <athena> basically it looks like a user inherits permission on All Categories, say
[11:27:24 EST(-0500)] <athena> but not on the contents of that category

[11:54:15 EST(-0500)] <poofman> Greetings uPortal Devs: Does someone here know if the attribute swapper portlet changes values for a user for a given logged in session or if the changes are permanent for a user?
[11:57:35 EST(-0500)] <athena> just for the logged in session
[11:58:04 EST(-0500)] <poofman> ok thanks athena.
[11:58:09 EST(-0500)] <athena> yep
[11:59:49 EST(-0500)] <poofman> We are using 3.1.1 and I have the portlet loaded and changed one of my user attributes. The changed attributes shows up in the "Changed" column after reload, but I load the person attributes portlet along side it to see the current values and it shows the orig value.
[12:00:04 EST(-0500)] <poofman> I'm not sure if that is the expected behavior
[12:00:20 EST(-0500)] * holdorph (n=holdorph@wsip-72-215-204-133.ph.ph.cox.net) has joined ##uportal
[12:01:28 EST(-0500)] <poofman> I'm thinking that once I change a value in the Attribute Swapper, those attributes will be applied for the user for the current session across all portlets?
[12:02:02 EST(-0500)] <poofman> I may be misunderstanding the usage of the portlet perhaps.
[12:04:54 EST(-0500)] <athena> no, it's mostly for testing
[12:05:21 EST(-0500)] <athena> so if as an admin you want to change your attributes and see how portlets look, or something
[12:08:08 EST(-0500)] <poofman> ok. thats what I'm thinking its supposed to do but I've got some data here that shows its not working like that. I see in the docs here http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/UPC/Attribute+Swapper that its stamped for version 3.2. Could it be that the the version im using is has an issue?
[12:12:17 EST(-0500)] <athena> i dont' know
[12:12:23 EST(-0500)] <athena> you'd have to ask eric
[12:13:01 EST(-0500)] <poofman> ok. np. I'll try checking back in with him later. Thanks for your help athena.
[12:13:11 EST(-0500)] <athena> yep
