  • last meeting was 8/16/24

  • next meeting is 9/20/24

  • Update from Gem

    • allow redirect lists

    • latest issue - pushed to all UCs except UCB and UCSD

      • question from John: is the 7 out of 10 campus situation a vestige of the 3 campuses with a comma in their name issue?

    • still needs to see if this is an “in production” feature (not currently in release notes from February) - Gem is still investigating

    • Gem has created a monthly report to monitor any changes made by ExL

    • Question still remains as to why ExL pushed out this change?

  • Greg (UCSD)

    • back button issue that could not be duplicated by ExL

    • asked Greg to add this: allow_exl_to_login_as_staff_users

      • allows ExL to become you

      • located in Config | User Management | Other Settings

        • parameter options are true or false

        • Greg noted that choosing true allows the option for a checkbox to appear. The checkbox allows users to give ExL permission to act on their behalf.

      • has this been offered to any other campuses?

        • Tom has experienced something similar in other systems - this option will log changes made by the outside entity as being yours

      • Greg’s follow up questions about this setting went unanswered

    • Greg asked ExL to try duplicating the issue in the sandbox - the issue has now been fixed as of this morning

    • Ideally, we would like to schedule a zoom session with ExL to demonstrate the issue rather than - Lakshmi will suggest to ExL

  • Jackie - ticket #07494692

    • duplicated fulfillment rules discovered in lending approval rules for the resource sharing unit

    • effects are still being explored/determined

    • ExL suggested it possibly happened prior to implementation - they are currently investigating

 

@Lakshmi Arunachalam to propose a Zoom session to demonstrate issues that ExL cannot duplicate on their own, as opposed to other solutions proposed by them thus far

Q & A Session - Including Questions on Slack since last meeting

  • Any questions from the team?

  • Questions from Slack?

12 minutes

Team

  • Greg - local admin permissions question

    • UCI makes sure those who obtain this type of permission have the proper training, sometimes they just need Read Only access

    • UCB - admin personnel only, other access is on a case by case and special permission, need to take Alma certification, policy of least privilege

      • when issues arise, a screensharing teaching session ensues to demonstrate configuration changes, etc., so people understand

      • permission is not granted after a teaching session though

    • UCSB - policy of least privilege as well

    • UCSD - view only access is not a problem, more conversations lately regarding more access beyond view only

    • Tom - noted UCOP policy IS-3

  • Gem provided the following document: Alma Privileges
