Why aren't multiple scoped attributes allowed.

[DarioAmiri]

I just noticed that multiple scoped attributes are not allowed. It seems like this feature existed at some point and then was disabled by this commit:
ab94c98

Could somebody please explain why this constraint was added?

[DarioAmiri]

@sanjeevchopra Please read my initial comment in this issue. In addition to not allowing multiple scopes per parent, it's also impossible to specify multiple parent entries with different scopes because the equal method of the Parent object disregards the "scopes" field entirely.

The current state of things makes it impossible to construct permission graphs where a user might inherit attributes from a role in more than one scopes. I.e. tom@ge.com is a an analyst when accessing resources in site 1 AND site 2.

Dario,
If I recall correctly, multiple scopes was disabled only until tests can be added to validate that use case. Currently, there are no tests for this use case.

@sanjeevchopra I've tested some changes and will likely submit a pull request for this. What do I have to sign to contribute? What's the status with the induction into the Eclipse foundation?

[sanjeevchopra]

@DarioAmiri The move to Eclipse Foundation is delayed due to other priorities for the ACS team. There is no defined contribution model, yet. @anurag-gujral , can you clarify requirements for contributions ?

[anurag-gujral]

Dario ,
Sorry for the late reply. Can you please send out a pull request , we will review it and then we will bring your change in.Sorry this is only think I can think of until we move to eclipse foundation.
Please let me know if you have better ideas.
Thanks,
A

Is there any estimated date for this fix?
