Wes to review Wave 3 BBs to ensure that they are aligned to the template.

Ramkumar to work with Wave 3 teams to get complete list of contributors.

Steve Conrad - Set up meeting with eMarketplace so that we can articulate the current and future scope, as well as what procurement functionality should be included (either current or future)

Future topic: how to articulate the different levels/scopes of building blocks - foundational/DPI, functional, and possibly application (things like eMarketplace). This should be clearly articulated in GovStack documentation.

Provide clear examples of complete solutions that address a use case that show how they are composed of various BBs. Next release can focus more on service blocks and how to use GovStack to create solutions.

Ready for review and comment (Sections 1-3). Steve and Wes to review.

Need to decide where this lives for the upcoming release (GitBook, linked, PDF)?

• Put summary/overview in GitBook (in cross-cutting section) and then link out to full content (ie. PDF in GitHub)?

Capabilities/Service Blocks

Wes Brown

Review service block (capabilities) template

Need clear definition of distinction between building block and service block.

Future topic - Fall 2023

Manage Access Authorization to BB APIs

Jaume DUBOIS

30 minutes

• Types of accessors checked (human, back-end systems, apps or browser, robots, hardware, ..)

• Granularity of access control (Building block, module, API, single API service, single API service for specific tenant or data)

From Technical Committee Meeting:

BBs should not own RBAC - the calling applications are responsible for it. 

Are we using token based authorization within the request to BB?

How to get candidates bypass its own RBAC?

1. Superuser access to be given when merging with IM backend?

2. Or control to switch off existing RBAC in target BBs

3. option to have api token registered in IM at max permission level for specific member entities

4. come up with a concrete example for this case
