Add PAGS group to a built-in uPortal group (ex. "Portal Administrators")

So what if you wanted to designate a group of ldap users to a specific uPortal group like the Portal Administrators group. Here is what you would do:

Step 1. Configure the Person Attribute Group Store

• Follow the instructions to configure PAGS first: https://wiki.jasig.org/display/UPM32/Person+Attribute+Group+Store+%28PAGS%29

Step 2. Assign your new group to a built-in uPortal group (ex. "Portal Administrators")

1. Under "Portal Administration Tools" click on "Manage groups"
2. Click through the Group hierarchy and access "Portal Administrators" (see image below) and click "Edit Group"

3. Next, click  "Add Members"

4. Find the PAGS group you wish to assign to the "Portal Administrators" group. Check the group and click "Select Marked"

5. You may add more groups or click on the 'Done With Selection" button when you are finished.

6. You should now see your PAGS group assigned to the Portal Administrators group (see below).

7. Click "Done Editing" to go back to the beginning of the Groups Manager

Taking It A Step Further With Fragments

Using "deepMemberOf"

Now, if you want your new group to inherit content/tabs that the Portal Administrators group receives, you would need to modify the dlm.xml file  (for detailed information see define a fragment).

     1. Open the dlm.xml file for editing and locate the 'Admin' fragment (../uportal-impl/src/main/resources/properties/dlm.xml)

     2. Replace the mode 'memberOf' to 'deepMemberOf' for Portal Administrators (see below)

<dlm:fragment name='Admin' ownerID='admin-lo' precedence='40'>
     <dlm:audience evaluatorFactory='org.jasig.portal.layout.dlm.providers.GroupMembershipEvaluatorFactory'>
       <paren mode="OR">
         <attribute mode='deepMemberOf' name='Portal Administrators'/>
         <attribute mode='memberOf' name='Portal Developers'/>
       </paren>
     </dlm:audience>
   </dlm:fragment>

     3. deploy your change

ant clean deploy-ear

    4. Restart uPortal
