Workgroup Manager is a web application that gives Stanford community members a place to define groups of community members for use in various online applications, including web authentication.
A workgroup is a list of members in a group, identified by their SUNet IDs, and given a name that uniquely identifies it. A workgroup may also contain subgroups — other workgroups identified by their name.
Workgroups come in two flavors:
- workgroups owned by departments, divisions, and projects (e.g., its:directors, gsb:affiliates, helpdesk:consultants)
- workgroups owned by individuals (e.g., ~jdoe:book_exchange)
In the example workgroups above, the first part (stem) of a workgroup's name, before the colon, is the workgroup's owner; the second part (id) is the specific name of the group. The combination of the two parts (stem:id) creates a unique name that can be used to refer to the workgroup.
