IdoNotes (and sleep)

Woo hoo, yet another awesome change for 8.5 to make administrative overhead even less.

The auto-populated groups feature uses pre-defined criteria to automatically determine and update group membership. Use the auto-populated groups feature to apply policies to users and groups based on their home servers

I know admins get tired of maintaining groups over and over. Having them self populate based on my own criteria will save loads of time and frustration as groups can change constantly. Oh did I mention that this affects policies in a great way:

Dynamic policy assignment is a new option for assigning explicit policies that allows administrators to assign policy settings to individual users and groups simply by specifying the appropriate user or group name in a policy document. As the organization changes, only the Group document needs to be updated. For example, if a user changes jobs or organizations, you do not need to determine which policies need updating; the updated group information is applied the next time the effective policy is calculated for any users in that group.

What are some of the allowable criteria? Can groups be auto-populated based on org unit or organization?

>> Can groups be auto-populated based on org unit or organization

I've blogged about how to tweak the new feature a few weeks ago:

And even if you do not use 8.5, you can use the feature. Read http://www.eknori.de/2008-06-22/autopopulategroup-if-you-do-not-run-domino-85/ for more information

This is great. I've had our developers write a subset on this based upon a user's CompanyName field (we host for multiple companies). Looking forward to see the depth on this, as it sounds like it will help in other areas as well.

This will take far more time than I have today. I will start with I was born and still live in St. Louis, MO. Even though for a couple years I was never, ever here and always on the road, this is smack in the middle of the US. Everything is just a few hour flight. That part is nice. No beach/ocean/coast isn't the best. But with the travel I make up for it.

Looking to find me in person? Here is where I will be.
