titleRequirements

To be able to manage membership in an existing group in the GEANT AAI Service, you need to fulfill at least one of these requirements:

  • To be a manager of the GEANT VO → Then you can manage membership in any group in the GEANT VO
  • To be a manager of any existing Group in the GEANT VO → Then you can manage membership for any Group you are a manager of.

As both of these operations are similar, this guide will focus primarily on managing membership in a group from the perspective of a Group manager.

"Add..." button you will open a window for manually searching and adding new members into your Group.

Using the search filter you can type part of the name, the whole login or whole email of that person.

Select the person in the list using the checkbox next to his/her name and click on the green "Add" button.


Warning

It is very important to know the difference between "Add" and "Invite" to your Group.

Adding mean manually processing a membership of the person to the Group without notifying her/him → Not asking for consent.

Inviting mean to send an email to the person and let her/him to choose if she/he wants to join or not → Asking for consent.

If you need the consent of users, you should always invite them

Step 3:

Wait for users to respond to the invitation email.

User will need to register using the link in the invitation mail and filling the application form. There are three possible scenarios for the user:

  1. User is not registered yet in the GEANT AAI Service → user will register to the GEANT AAI Service and also to the Group, continue at Step 3.1
  2. User is already registered in the GEANT AAI Service but he is not yet a member of the Group → user will register to the Group, continue at Step 3.2
  3. User is already registered in the GEANT AAI Service and he is already a member of the Group → this is fine, no more steps needed, you are done!
Warning

Important: If the invited person choose to not use the link, you will not get that information. You need to check by yourself in the Group if the person is already a member or not. You can always resend the link again.

Step 3.1:

If the user wasn't registered in the GEANT AAI Service, he would need to fill the registration form for it first.

All field should be pre-filled from the Identity provider. The only mandatory step for the user is:

  • Read & Confirm the AUP of the GEANT AAI Service

There are some optional steps user can do:

  • Change his given name or his surname if needed
  • Change his email if needed

When the user click on the green "Submit" button, the application will be send and approved by automatic (the configuration of the GEANT AAI Service registration)

Warning

Important: If the user change the value of an E-mail (different from the data of IdP), the verification link will be send to that email and a user will need to verify that he is the owner of the new email address.

Step 3.2:

If the user is already registered in the GEANT AAI Service, he would need to fill the registration form for the Group.

Fields could differ regarding the settings of the application form to your Group.

In this example, the form is very simple and expects the same data as the GEANT AAI Service. So all of them will be pre-filled by the system and user can't change them in the form.

When the user click on the green "Submit" button, the application will be send and eventually approved (manually or by automatic → regarding the configuration of the application form in the group).
