Access Request WorkflowDiana Antova



Portal - Apigee Companies Add-OnIan Lessing (Unlicensed)Steven Maglio



New API Request Workflow in PortalDiana Antova
  • Brought up by Ann Crawford with the following questions:
    • How do we request a use case for an API
    • What is the work flow? Possible status are : received, rejected (with reason ie duplicate), closed ( with deploy date), in test,  in code
    • How do we search what's in the works?
    • Who will mange requests?
Specific use case from Ann Crawford:
Here is the API use case that I sent to housing for the photos.
Our use case is to get all new or changed photos for Type graduate or undergraduate with the perm (university ID)

New photos are perms we don't have a photo in the student health database.
Changed photos are those where the saved photo hash <> current photo hash for a given perm.   Currently the sproc returns a hash of the photo so we can compare and save, along with a perm (university ID), Type, first name, last name.  We don't use the first name or last name but it is good for testing.

API Keys in Public CodeFormer user (Deleted)
  • Need to use API Key in public code (Javascript). It can get stolen so we need extra lockdown. That should be referrer domain name set upin API App. Or some other complex auth system, but it always needs to include the domain. (This should be Security Workgroup's job )

Pantheon Training Follow-Up

 

Steven Maglio
  •  1 - 5 pm - Pantheon Overview, Terminus Overview and Demo, Performance & Going Live
  •  1 - 5 pm - Custom Upstream Development
  • What did people learn?

DocumentationFormer user (Deleted)
  • Docs on Portal site need some updates and fine tuning. I can work on those and edit them with a "technical writing" style. 
  • Data Access Requests should be done thru docusign, and we should standardize it for all UCSB depts.
