Grouper in Action - Access Management Strategies for Higher Education and Research
Grouper is an enterprise access management system built by and for higher education, and is a key component of Internet2’s Trust and Identity in Education and Research (TIER) initiative. Designed for highly distributed and heterogeneous information technology environments, Grouper is uniquely suited to address the complexity and flexibility required by the modern institution.
This seminar will introduce Grouper, demonstrate a variety of real world use cases in action at University of Pennsylvania, Lafayette College, and New York University, and provide participants with some hands on operation and configuration experience. Come learn and see what Grouper can do for your campus!

Internet2 Grouper is fantastic software for managing group memberships and access control lists. But the Java API can be a bit intimidating for even the most steely-nerved sysadmins. Grouper Shell Wrappers started out as a way to add readline and tab completion to a somewhat spartan REPL. Somewhere along the way, Lafayette College started using the new scripting capabilities to transform API primitives into higher order business processes. Scripting provided enough flexibility for the College to develop their own simplified Grouper change log consumer!

Grouper, a TIER component from Internet2, has grown in prominence primarily by providing institutions with improved group management. This capability alone provides significant value, but does not take advantage of all the power that Grouper provides. This presentation will explore applying more advanced Grouper features in the context of Role- and Attribute-Based Access Control as defined by NIST in INCITS 359-2012 and INCITS 494-2012. Attendees will come way with a deeper appreciation of the RBAC/ABAC standards and how they can be implemented with Grouper in a higher education setting.
