        Final initialization, once all dependencies are set.

        Cleanup before shutting down.

      • getGroupRolesForUser

        public Map<String,​String> getGroupRolesForUser​(String userId)
        If you can do some type of directory lookup to find out some Attribute of this user you could conditionally auto-add them to any number of these "virtual groups" You might try sakai.students, sakai.faculty, sakai.staff, sakai.teamleads There is nothing specific about the string "sakai." these could easily be something like course.eecs280, shib:yale.edu:faculty, or h23.groups.ruk.dk One caveat - this class is respnsbile for handling the unpacking when an admin wants to put in multiple external providers The code below uses the common convention of using "+" (homage to "or") to concatenate IDs. So the user above us could set the provider ID in the Sakai Realms Tool to be h23.groups.ruk.dk+course.eecs280 to indicate thatr membership in either group is OK. To indicate membership in multiple groups in *this routine* add additional entries in the hash map (i.e. do not use the + notation in this routine).
