  • The spec is not aligned to template.

  • Wes to reach out to Ramkumar (and Ravi?) to align on next steps

Next steps - once reviews are complete, Wes can create Jira issues for required changes and create Epic to track all tasks. For now, keep comments in GitBook.

GERA Update

@Aare Laponin @PSRAMKUMAR

Update on changes to GERA document and progress/next steps

• Arch team is not actively engaged in changing this document.

• Aare working to develop a simple overview/reference document - introduction, definitions, context, reference architecture, implementation guidelines

Working draft:

https://onedrive.live.com/Edit.aspx?resid=7B252BA6CB083436!9551&wdPid=5887d621&authkey=!AC4bdYfdJIaKi8M

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)?

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
