Re: Process for handling web-based account management

[Bill Thompson <thompsow () LAFAYETTE EDU>]

We’ve been having some success with using Grouper to control both remote account and authorization/group management. 
Insitutional cohorts and account/authorization policy are defined and managed in Grouper. Remote (i.e. Cloud systems) 
are kept in sync via a messaging system based on RabbitMQ. The overall strategy is described in more detail in the TIER 
Grouper Deployment Guide https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/TI/TI.25.1 
<https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/TI/TI.25.1>.
