COmanage

COmanage is an Identity Management System for Collaborative (Virtual) Organizations. COmanage Gears is the core IdMS, and is written in PHP. COmanage uses groups in the following ways:

  • To manage authorizations within COmanage Gears (eg: who can add and remove members of a CO).
  • To manage group memberships for domesticated applications (eg: wikis, mailing lists, domain-specific apps) within the COmanage ecosystem.
