Elda is maintaining the site - applying the security updates
SSO integration. Elda will apply it to a branch so we can test the Apigee integration. We might be able to leave the old accounts as is, and just the new ones be SSO
in the future - look into the code refactoring
Drupal 10 upgrade (Elda will start planning for D10 upgrade after the summer - in general)
delete old sites - need to send a request to ETS to downgrade them first - Steven submitted the request
Install split config module so we can change the module and not get emails from the automated tests (future)
Jun 3, 2022 Elda has implemented CAS in a dev site. It assigns Developer role by default. It checks for Student affiliation and assigns Student role if a student. It created accounts in the gateway correctly with the correct name and role. Elda and Steven are looking at using the Google API to add the new users to the Google groups - API consumer.
Jul 8, 2022 security updates are ready to be released.
Elda will work on adding people to api-consumer google group. ( )
Release plan: After the google group assignment is complete. 1- notify users of the upcoming change, 2- check the SSO option for all users, and add their netid to their account. Deactivate old accounts (graduated students). Notify users of change complete.
Diana - ask Mike Nesbit to provide NetIDs for all accounts.
Jul 15, 2022 Mike provided NetIds for all users:
Jul 29, 2022
The Google sheet has a sheet Users to Update - click the check-mark and add the netd.
the new security update is braking the site. Elda will work on it today.
Elda will start to work on the google group integration today or next week.
Aug 12, 2022 Elda pushed updates to the site. Upstream needs to be merged still.
Google group integration is pending.
Will wait for the SSO integration until the google group creation is done
Sep 22, 2022 only user accounts can use CAS. Functional accounts will continue to login with local accounts. We tested it and are not able to login with CAS to a functional account.
Communication page:
Oct 7, 2022 Tested notification when a new account is created and there was no notification to the administrators. If we release CAS we will have to monitor manually for new accounts and add them to the google groups as this functionality has not been developed yet.
Oct 21, 2022 Elda fixed the notifications, now we can get an email upon account creation. There is one more fix that Elda needs to apply and we will meet to talk about release date and plan. Communication plan:
Nov 4, 2022 Elda will get her development environment working and will let us know if we can release in on Monday. Will send the communication on Monday morning.
ServiceNow for API Support
@Kevin Wu / @Diana Antova
Ann ran into an issue with the employee API and submitted a servicenow ticket for it. There is no API support area in ServiceNow so she submitted it as a data warehouse problem.
Kevin proposed to create a service offering in ServiceNow for API issues.
Jun 4, 2020 Steven and Seth met with the students. They are continuing to grow the sites. Two new members of the team are taking over. Henry is graduating, Jimmy is staying.

Apigee Support
1 FTE on the apigee team to help with student development oversight and support
Now the students have to contact so many groups to have their accounts setup, an FTE can really help with that. Adding the functionality to developer.ucsb.edu to create accounts.
Drupal - OK to work with a student
For other projects like identity account creation and others it will be difficult to work with a student
