MO is an IT system for organisational and identity management.
It enables your organisation to maintain information about the organisation and its employees, volunteers, external consultants, robot users, and so on, from a single user interface.
You get a complete overview of all departments, employees' (multiple) employments, their IT access, their affiliations, and roles throughout the organisation. You also get a complete picture of management hierarchies, and you can see your union representative organisation, your payroll organisation, your safety organisation, your line organisation, etc.
The vision for MO is that it should be the source system for the entire organisation and its employees: this is where organisational changes are made, this is where employees are created and removed, and this information will automatically - and immediately - be sent to other systems. The information can also come from other systems - or be enriched from them - but it is MO that contains the complete picture of the organisation.
Because MO contains all the information about the organisation, and it is always up-to-date and correct, it is important to connect MO to other systems that need the information - be it LDAP (e.g. Active Directory), an IdM system, FK-Organisation, an org chart, an HR system, etc.
When MO is connected to many systems, workflows are automated and consistent and high data quality is realised in the connected systems.
The primary documentation for OS2mo is available at https://rammearkitektur.docs.magenta.dk/os2mo/index.html (in Danish). Technical documentation in English is available at https://rammearkitektur.docs.magenta.dk/os2mo/tech-docs/architecture.html.
The primary API for OS2mo is GraphQL. The interface is versioned to handle future breaking changes, without actually breaking any integration code. New versions are added as needed and old versions are removed as they become obsolete.
New integrations should always use the newest version of the interface available, and old integrations should continuously be updated to the newer versions as they are introduced, by following the Migration Guide.
The /graphql endpoint redirects the browser to the GraphiQL interface for the
newest version, e.g. for local development: http://localhost:5000/graphql.
GraphiQL has a built-in documentation explorer which can be accessed by
ctrl-clicking most fields.
There is no way to use the newest version of the GraphQL interface programmatically, e.g. from integrations. This is by design to avoid integrations being broken automatically once a new version is introduced, as such, all integrations should be hardcoding the GraphQL version that they are utilising and should update this hardcoded URL as they upgrade to a newer version following the migration guide.
The GraphQL schema for each version is available at
/graphql/vXX/schema.graphql in regular GraphQL Schema Definition Language
(SDL).
More thorough documentation for the GraphQL API is available at https://rammearkitektur.docs.magenta.dk/os2mo/tech-docs/graphql/intro.html.
To get a local OS2mo stack running on a sane operating system:
git clone https://github.com/OS2mo/os2mo.git
cd os2mo/
docker compose up -d --buildThe OS2mo frontend should now be available at http://localhost:5000, and the
GraphiQL explorer at http://localhost:5000/graphql. The default admin
username/password is alvida/alvida.
To stop the stack, run
docker compose downTo stop the stack and delete all data volumes, run
docker compose down -vA more detailed walk-through is available at https://rammearkitektur.docs.magenta.dk/os2mo/tech-docs/development.html.
This project uses Semantic Versioning with the following strategy:
- MAJOR: Incompatible API changes.
- MINOR: Backwards-compatible updates and functionality.
- PATCH: Backwards-compatible bug fixes.
