Access and Licensing

The former on-premise Harvard Wiki service had unlimited licenses so that any user desiring access could login and access content. The new Harvard Wiki Cloud service, however, is a limited license service. Atlassian no longer offers an unlimited license for its Cloud products. Harvard has allocated funds to purchase a pool of 15,000 licenses for Harvard Wiki which will be allocated as users request access.
Users may request access to Harvard Wiki by completing this form: https://harvard.service-now.com/ithelp?id=sc_cat_item&sys_id=f28a2c731b78c4505b1d3333cc4bcbbb

Grouper group syncing

The former on-premise Harvard Wiki service created and populated groups mirroring Grouper groups by examining login attributes from Harvard Key. These attributes described a user’s Grouper group memberships and using this information automation created Grouper related groups in the Wiki if they did not exist and otherwise ensured that a user was a member of each group specified in the login attributes.
The new Harvard Wiki Cloud services does not offer tracking of Harvard Key login attributes but does allow Grouper group syncing directly from Grouper. The Wiki support team is working with the HUIT Identity and Access Management (IAM) team to sync Grouper groups that space owners have requested to use for space permissioning.
As Grouper groups are sync’d the groups will contain more users than have licenses to access Harvard Wiki. When a Grouper group is used for space permissioning only those group members with Harvard Wiki accounts will be able to access the space. Grouper group membership does not automatically grant access to the Harvard Wiki.
The harvard:bundle:affiliations:all-current will not be included in the Grouper group syncing moving forward. Use of this group should be replaced with confluence-users as all Harvard Wiki users get added to this group. If the desire is to allow anyone with Harvard Wiki access to view content then the confluence-users group should be used since it contains all active users.
