Permission Impossible: Building a Better Permissions Management Interface at the University of Oxford
Room 145

Developers Day
Abstract
From the earliest days of our Alma migration, staff permission management was a significant challenge at the University of Oxford. The role profiles system is ill-equipped to handle a federated model comprising nearly 100 libraries with varying permission requirements, and manually adding roles one at a time was an unthinkable chore.
This presentation showcases the custom permissions management application we built to ease the burden: the process, the payoff, and our plans for what's next.
