In Fedora Community we needed an automated system for handling user/group authorisation for a new Fedora Community OpenShift cluster. As part of this work, the `CommuniShift Authorisation Operator` was developed.
In the Fedora Community we use FreeIPA to handle identity management for our users. Users can become sponsors for a group and then handle future management in a self service fashion. FASJSON is an API which allows programmatic retrieval of user/group membership from FreeIPA.
In this session we go into the technical details and also share information about how we reused knowledge from the development of this operator to integrate with the Discourse service.
