what would be involved in getting mitro for organizations working at this point?  what additional features do you get that you don't get with teams?
thanks

Mostly it would be unblocking the features in the UI and building your own extension that brings back the "Create Organizations" button. :) Everything still works on the server, we've just disabled new organizations since many of the features are a bit buggy, and caused too many support issues.

Organizations allow a group of administrators to collectively "own" a set of passwords, and manage access to those passwords. It had a few other things like syncing users from Google Apps, and allowing you to give "restricted" access to secrets, which would make it more difficult to copy the raw password.

I'm currently using the "Google Apps" organization capabilities (we're whitelisted from back in the day)

I'm not wedded to the Google Apps functionality itself, however the organization capabilities are really really important to me. If we replaced GA with something more generic, e.g. some batch process where the org could create and sync groups, I'd be plenty happy.

If anyone is interested in working to make Organizations work, I'd love to assist. I'm not a java coder, unfortunately.

I'm also happy to screenshare with anyone who wants to see how the functionality works currently.

Hi Bri,
 I am really interesting in getting this going. Please could you send me some screenshots? As many as you can of the Organisation functions. Thanks
Kind regards,
Junaid

I imagine that mitro team is not willing to add more folks to the organizations sync group, just keep the currently grandfathered orgs. It's an additional thing for them to support.

It works by syncing Google Groups currently. I'd suggest that, if we can get the open source version going, we should revamp it to be a more generic API or something simpler like file-based groups. Supporting Google Apps is more tricky (API timeouts, etc) than are worth it, and as an Open Source product something more straightforward would work.

the sync stuff is actually abstracted relatively well. it's designed so that it should be easy to add these kinds of different sources. We never implemented any other version excepted a hacked together ldap thing that probably doesn't work anymore

Awesome news about it being well abstracted, and not a surprise. ;-)

FYI I was able to create and Organization, sync, etc with just a little URL hacking in Chrome.  Open up the full-page Mitro from the popup, and change any *.html to create-org.html in the address bar.  As the create only needs to happen once (the UI is visible once the Org exists), I don't feel the need to rebuild the extensions.
