Clarify - Change to dynamic group processing in ARS 8.1.4

Asking from anyone that may already know ...

From the 8.1.4 release notes -

Previously, Active Roles forced rebuilding dynamic groups each time a member was added to or removed from the dynamic group.

This issue is now fixed, so Active Roles now rebuilds dynamic groups only if the rebuild is triggered manually or with a Scheduled Task.
ARS 8.1.4 Release Notes

Reading above, if dynamic groups are no longer 'dynamically' rebuilt on add/remove of a member - are the rules still evaluated as to whether or not the new member is accepted or rejected on each change?
If the membership rules are still evaluated for 'new' additions/deletions - is that performed whether the change is made using an ARS interface like web/mmc - or natively and the change is made via dirsync ?

I assume this change is to reduce the clutter in change history related to repeated DG rebuilds ... but we're just looking to confirm real time evaluation of group membership changes to a DG are still enforced timely, with only the complete rebuilds occurring when triggered separately.   This feels like a return to prior behavior.   if these assumptions are true, this is a very good thing.

  • ok.  thanks Terrance - was hoping this might have been in response to this post Group Rebuilds Change History pollution and enhancement request ER 431618.
    thanks for bringing the clarity -
    if the underlying group membership ends with a net gain or loss of desired membership in the dynamic group, does that change still occur at the dynamic group  - even without a complete group rebuild? or only at the triggered/scheduled time?

  • Membership changes made to a static group that is mentioned in an "Include Group Members" Dynamic Group membership rule are still actioned dynamically. Correcting this defect does not impact that functionality.

    ER 431618 has not yet been evaluated or accepted by product management. I cannot say when or if the existing Change History functionality may change.
