[Midpoint-dev] Reporting Manager Concept in Midpoint.

[Radovan Semancik]

Hi,

Short answer is: no. It is not supported. And we have very little 
motivation to support that. user->user relations to represent 
organizations structure is just wrong. It is a nightmare to maintain, as 
people change all the time. This idea is very problematic with many of 
existing and planned governance features. They just won't work to their 
full potential.

In our deployments we always try to convert this to proper 
organizational structure tree. And in almost all cases it is possible.
E.g. you can have a look at this to see how to reconstruct 
organizational structure from really minimal information:

We also had success from combining information about user's 
organizational unit and his manager to reconstruct full organizational 
tree. If you are interested then the best way how to pursue this is to 
become midpoint subscriber or use our professional services.

Having said that, supporting user-user relations is theoretically 
possible. As far as I'm aware there is no major obstacle in midPoint 
architecture to support that. However, we will not make any investment 
into this because it is just wrong. We will implement it and support it 
only if someone explicitly sponsors it. Using real organizational 
structures is the right way to go.
