Custom Group Providers
======================
Kanboard is able to load groups from an external system.
This feature is mainly used for project permissions.
Project managers can allow access to a project for a group.
The end-user will use an auto-complete box and search for a group.
Each time a group query is executed, all registered group providers are executed.
Group Provider Workflow
-----------------------
1. The end-user start to type the group name in the auto-complete field
2. The `GroupManager` class will execute the query across all registered group providers
3. Results are merged and returned to the user interface
4. After selecting a group, the information of the group are synced to the local database if necessary
Group Provider Interface
------------------------
Interface to implement: `Kanboard\Core\Group\GroupProviderInterface`.
Classes that implements this interface abstract the group information, there are only 3 methods:
- `getInternalId()`: Get internal database id, return 0 otherwise
- `getExternalId()`: Get external unique id
- `getName()`: Get group name
Kanboard will use the external id to sync with the local database.
Group Backend Provider Interface
--------------------------------
Interface to implement: `Kanboard\Core\Group\GroupBackendProviderInterface`.
This interface requires only one method: `find($input)`.
The argument `$input` is the text entered from the user interface.
This method must return a list of `GroupProviderInterface`, this is the result of the search.
Backend Registration from Plugins
---------------------------------
In the method `initialize()` of your plugin register your custom backend like that:
```php
$groupManager->register(new MyCustomLdapBackendGroupProvider($this->container));
```
