Group support in PloneCollectorNG (V 1.1.2 or higher)

PloneCollectorNG V 1.1.2 or higher introduces support for groups: topic groups and GRUF groups

GRUF groups can now be assigned through the "staff" tab as supporter, reporter or tracker administrator. This means you can organize your staff in groups and assign the GRUF group as member to a collector instance instead of assigning every single person to the tracker.

• Topic groups

  A topic is a group where collector members can be assigned to topics. A topic is a possible value of the topic metadata (can be changed through the schema editor). A topic is either simple string maintopic or string of the form maintopic/subtopic. Only maintopic strings are are available as topic group. To edit the mapping topic -> member there is a new tab "topic - user" available on the collector level.

• GRUF groups

  A GRUF group is a simple group that is defined through the GroupUserFolder inside Plone

PloneCollector? V 1.2.0 or higher

If you create a new issue or do an issue followup then you will see the list of staff members configured for this particular collector. In addition you will see a list of available groups in a dedicated selection element. Topic groups are marked as (TG) and GRUF groups with (GRUF). You can choose one or more groups. In the current implementation an issue will be assigned to all members of *all groups as long as the corresponding user accounts are configured as staff member of the collector.
