AuraSphere is not affiliated with VOOT Roles. The name and any related trademarks are used solely for nominative descriptive purposes.
This plugin was designed for administrators of websites built on a popular content management system who needed to manage user permissions automatically. It connected to an external VOOT group service, allowing user roles on the site to be assigned based on a person's membership in specific groups defined in that external system. This was particularly useful for organizations using centralized identity and access management.
Role Mapping: Configure specific VOOT groups to correspond directly to user roles within the site. When a user authenticated, their group membership determined their assigned permissions.
External Integration: Relied on a separate PHP OAuth client to handle secure authentication with the external VOOT service provider, such as SURFconext.
Centralized Management: Enabled user role management to be handled at the organizational level through the group service, rather than manually within each individual site.
Deprecated Status: This plugin is no longer actively developed or supported. Its functionality has been superseded by alternative modules that add group information to SAML attributes, which can then be used with standard SAML integration plugins for the content management system.
