Investigate removal of CBOX Auth plugin #697

Closed mikethicke closed 1 year ago

mikethicke commented 1 year ago

The MLA uses the cbox-auth plugin to ensure that users have the correct access to groups and to allow for the creation of group through their system. COmanage performs that function for other societies, and cbox-auth has maintenance & possible performance issues. Investigate whether cbox-auth can be safely removed and if not how to ensure that it can be.

Survey of MLA groups: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HCx6qzTZI5YdhshEQ3NiC16rbveQG14gQtDGWsQI-go/edit#gid=1928028483

Need to develop plan for transitioning MLA off of cbox-auth, as there is missing functionality and potential concerns about the reliability of the current group membership passing process from COmanage.
