uhReleasedGrouping Values Available for General Use
Overview
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.
Curated Groupings
Our UH Group Store has a wealth of groups that would be useful to UH applications. ITS will work with the Data Governance Program to curate a collection of groups from the UH Group Store and make them available via uhReleasedGrouping.
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.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Person has registered for multi-factor authentication (MFA) and is not in Duo bypass mode. If CAS returns this value after a successful authentication, it can be surmised that the person has passed the Duo prompts in the UH Login screen. If you require MFA and it didn't happen, your application can redirect the user to our generic MFA-required page. Departmental usernames are currently not supported! Non-personal usernames who are registered and enabled for Duo will not have this uhReleasedGrouping value. This might change in the future, but as of this writing, UH Groupings was designed with people as grouping members (as opposed to usernames or email addresses). Departmental usernames are often used by multiple individuals, so their ambiguity seems counter-productive to authentication, authorization and MFA. Updated every 2 minutes | 9/19/2018 |

| Those who are currently ISAT-compliant and can renew for the upcoming ISAT compliance period. Useful for sending reminders to those who should renew their ISAT compliance. | 3/19/2019 |
| People who are considered faculty/staff. PeopleSoft and RCUH are the main sources of this information, but it also takes into account faculty data in Banner and staff data (including postdocs) in UHIMS. This is useful for websites that need to restrict content to faculty/staff and don't expect to make exceptions to that rule. | 9/10/2019 |
| Person has employee role at the campus shown in the curated grouping path. | 3/1/2023 |
