Auth expertise distribution across SGGs

After the SSG redistribution in #4903 and #4925 (closed), this is what it looks like:

Topic SSG Distribution
SAML + SSO Baobab Total: 5 AMER: 3 APAC: 0 EMEA: 2
Ginkgo Total: 4 AMER: 0 APAC: 0 EMEA: 4
Kapok Total: 3 AMER: 0 APAC: 3 EMEA: 0
Maple Total: 7 AMER: 1 APAC: 2 EMEA: 4
Pine Total: 5 AMER: 1 APAC: 2 EMEA: 2
SCIM Baobab Total: 3 AMER: 1 APAC: 0 EMEA: 2
Ginkgo Total: 3 AMER: 0 APAC: 0 EMEA: 3
Kapok Total: 2 AMER: 0 APAC: 2 EMEA: 0
Maple Total: 3 AMER: 1 APAC: 2 EMEA: 0
Pine Total: 3 AMER: 0 APAC: 1 EMEA: 2
LDAP Baobab Total: 4 AMER: 2 APAC: 1 EMEA: 1
Ginkgo Total: 1 AMER: 0 APAC: 0 EMEA: 1
Kapok Total: 1 AMER: 0 APAC: 1 EMEA: 0
Maple Total: 2 AMER: 0 APAC: 0 EMEA: 2
Pine Total: 5 AMER: 2 APAC: 3 EMEA: 0

Notes:

  • All team members listed in SCIM are also listed in SAML + SSO.
  • For the combination SAML + SSO, I manually went through the list of people for SAML and SSO for Groups.
  • OmniAuth is not included because outside of SAML, it's not a common topic.

ZenDesk tickets

Doing a quick search in ZenDesk on the number of tickets where the subject mentions the topic. As of 2023-03-02:

Topic 1 month 3 months 6 months 1 year
SAML 110 216 378 705
SCIM 22 45 100 191
LDAP 39 83 140 285

Note: There is often overlap between SAML and SCIM.

Areas of possible concern

  1. SCIM: Maple | Expertise list needed updating, see #4920 (comment 1295935049)
  2. LDAP: Ginkgo | See #4920 (comment 1299458189)
  3. LDAP: Kapok | See #4920 (comment 1299457108)

Less concern:

  1. SAML: Kapok | See #4920 (comment 1299457108)
  2. SCIM: Kapok | See #4920 (comment 1299457108)
  3. LDAP: Maple | See #4920 (comment 1299453205)

Possible strategies

If SGGs are struggling in these topics, some possible things to do:

  1. Have 1-2 team members complete the topical training module so that the group has at least 2 experts
  2. Ensure the SGG team members know where to get help from experts when their own experts are unavailable
