Get Schooled on the New Grouper 2.0

Significant Enhancements for Groups Management and Role-Based Access Control

Grouper – the open source access management toolkit developed by the Internet2 Middleware Initiative – has reached a major milestone with the release of version 2.0. Are you a Grouper user and want to see what’s new? Are you looking for an access management tool and a fully developed role-based access control system? 

Join us Wednesday, September 14, for an IAM Online featuring Tom Barton and Chris Hyzer and a discussion and demonstration of Grouper 2.0. They will review the key new features of 2.0, including significant permission management capabilities, and a user interface to manage custom attributes, permissions, limits, and actions.

Grouper is designed to function as the core element of a common infrastructure for managing access information across integrated applications and repositories. It enables project managers, departments, institutions, and end-users to create and manage institutional and personal groups, roles, and permissions.
