Dynamically mapping users to groups

摘要

Methods and systems for authenticating users and assigning authenticated users to groups are provided. A method receives a user credential and email address. The method forwards an authentication request including the email address and credential to a remote authentication provider. Based in part on the presence of a full user name in a received response, the method determines that the user is authenticated. Another method extracts a domain name from a received email address of an authenticated user. In response to determining that the domain name is associated with a group, the method assigns the user to the group. A system includes memory with instructions for assigning an authenticated user to a group. The system receives the user's email address and extracts a domain name from the email address. In response to determining that the domain name is associated with a group, the system assigns the user to the group.

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, at a computing device, an email address associated with an authenticated user; extracting a domain name from the email address; determining, by the computing device, whether the extracted domain name is associated with at least one group; in response to determining that the extracted domain name is associated with at least one group, assigning the user to the at least one group; and in response to determining that the domain name is not mapped to at least one group associated with the entity: extracting one or more regular expressions from the domain name; determining whether at least one of the one or more regular expressions is mapped to at least one group associated with the entity; and in response to determining that at least one of the one or more regular expressions is mapped to at least one group associated with the entity, adding the user to the at least one group.
