The following uhReleasedGrouping values are made available by ITS as an added convenience.  Developers may find it useful to check for these values as part of their application authorization step.

Remember that uhReleasedGrouping data is only for official use within the UH community and not for release to external parties except under the terms of a written memorandum of agreement or contract.

Value of uhReleasedGrouping	Description	Available Since

under-age-of-majority	This grouping will no longer be freely available for general use. Contact its-iam-help@lists.hawaii.edu if you need to build a grouping with this information.	1/31/2018

Coming Soon: New Format, More Data

Our UH Group Store has a wealth of groups that would be useful to UH applications.   We will work with the Data Governance Program to curate a collection of groups from the UH Group Store and make them available via uhReleasedGrouping.

This means that both, your groupings and our curated collection of groups will appear in uhReleasedGrouping.  There won't be namespace collisions because of the nomenclature for each:

•  uhReleasedGrouping value for groupings:
  • The name of the grouping (not the full path).  It should only have letters, numbers and hyphens.
  • An obfuscated grouping begins with "obf:" and is followed by a long hex string.
• uhReleasedGrouping value for groups in curated collection:
  
  • The full path to the actual store group, which usually begins with hawaii.edu:store:
  • The full path to the group actually provides important information about the group.
    • For example, hawaii.edu:store:hris:aff:uhsystem:staff.apt tells us that these are all the APT Staff at a system-level office according to the PeopleSoft HR system.
    • If there is already a nomenclature for the UH Group Store, it does not make sense to come up with a new nomenclature for use with uhReleasedGrouping.  It would be cumbersome, confusing and harder to maintain.

Look Ma, No Grouping!

Having a curated collection of groupings in uhReleasedGrouping means your application can check against a lot of official data without having to create a grouping.

Of course, if you expect to manage exceptions, you should create your own grouping (usually with some of the groups in our curated collection) and release it.
