SURFconext supports group management. Via the service SURFconext teams or Institution group providers, groups are defined within SURFconext. Service Providers then are able to re-use the groups. Typically services like videoconferencing, calender sharing and doc sharing benefit from this functionality.
SURFconext Teams: with SURFconext Teams students, researchers and employees are able to create groups. Users are able to invite group members within the whole SURFconext community.
Institution group providers: some institutions have configured a group provider. Groups configured locally are published within SURFconext.
Groups information is retrieved via the VOOT protocol. Learn what VOOT is and how to implement this protocol.
