Sync User Entitlements

Entitlement information for insitutional (university) sso users is stored in both the mongo users collection and the postgres v2_user_universities table. The mongo users collection is authoratative but these need to be in sync for everything to work properly.

This script takes exports from both mongo and postgres, finds mismatches, and then corrects the data in postgres so that it matches mongo.

Exporting users data from mongo

Follow the directions in google-ops/README.md for exporting data from mongo and copying the files to your local machine.

Run the following user export command.

mongoexport --uri $READ_ONLY_MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING --collection users --fields '_id,email,emails,samlIdentifiers' --query '{"samlIdentifiers.providerId": {"$exists": 1}}' --out user-entitlements.json

Note: this file contains PII and caution must be exercised to insure that it is never transferred or stored insecurely and that it is deleted ASAP

Exporting data from postgres

Connect to postgres by running heroku psql -a electric-leaf-4093

Run the following v2_user_universities export comand.

\copy (select uu.user_id, uu.email, uu.cached_entitlement, ud.university_id from v2_user_universities uu LEFT JOIN university_domains ud ON uu.university_domain_id = ud.id) to 'cached-entitlements.csv' with csv;

Note: this file contains PII and caution must be exercised to insure that it is never transferred or stored insecurely and that it is deleted ASAP

Run sync

node scripts/sync-user-entitlements/sync-user-entitlements --user-entitlements user-entitlements.json --cached-entitlements cached-entitlements.csv --commit
