Web-based user interface for Group Management
Hello dev,
Based on this Discussion
<https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/89eb681abea8f23e60149126747194f5e6ed88a624ebc42d353307b4@%3Cdev.airavata.apache.org%3E>
initiated by Eldho, there is a requirement for a Web-based UI for Group
Management which could be integrated into the PGA (web portal).
I and Eldho had a discussion on this topic and below is the high level
Architecture of what we propose to implement -
[image: Inline image 2]
- PHP
The sharing registry is exposed as a Thrift service and we would be using
the PHP layer to make these endpoints available as-is over REST to be
consumed by the UI.
- jQuery
We would be using jQuery based UI to make calls to the REST interface
exposed in the PHP layer. At the moment, we have decided to keep the UI
separate from the PHP layer, and these will only interact over REST calls,
to make it easy to plug the UI into other non-PHP Web Portals later.

Eldho,
I think only the group management part is needed. The other aspects are already taken care of by the sharing registry.
Thanks,
Marcus

Hello Dev,
Based on my discussion with Ameya, we have decided on the basic structure
of the UIs based on the use cases.
In total there would be 4 main sections:
1) Domain
2) Entities
3) Groups
4) Users
For each of the 4 section, multiple views will be created as shown below.

The above-listed structure will also form the basis of the navigation
within the group management user interface.
Regards,
Eldho Mathulla

Ameya,
This is exactly how we have been developing web-based UIs in the PGA, however, I’ve found that while jQuery is easy to use for writing UIs, it isn’t very maintainable. I would recommend that you use React or Vue for the UI.
Also, depending on the timeframe, it would be good to implement the REST layer in Django. I’ve started some working on this already [1] so you can build on that.
Thanks,
Marcus
