Hi all,
Do you intend to withdraw the capability to *manage* self service users
and potentially certain features of the Self Service app by non-end
users (which is hinted at by menu items in the Mifos X client) too?

Is there any guideline or anything that explains e.g. to a smallish
microcredit org how to set something like this up in the future? I
assume you don't want to put the user management into the API gateway too.

Yes please. It would make sense now to remove it - it will still be
"there" in the code if someone really wants to figure it out but having it
gone would reduce some surface area of application concerns. Also
vendors have had enough notice on this to have come up with their own
approach.
Expanding this...
I also think Fineract should probably build its own "reference version" for
the same functionality but in a different github at Apache Fineract. This
would fit better into an overall architecture, where you have the component
using secure methods to connect to the backend APIs and then exposing
different customer facing APIs . The auth is different for such a
component, as it relies on identity models for the end user, which are
fundamentally different than identity validation for employees of a bank,
credit union, etc

Hi guys,
I would like to pick up once again this topic: Self-service in Fineract.
Since we just had a release and this functionality was still not removed,
i was wondering whether we want to do it now and by the time of the next
release we dont need to worry about that anymore.
This was already a topic a couple times whether the existence of this
functionality in Fineract is good or bad, but If I recall correctly, it was
majorly considered as a bad thing (problematic from security point of view
as well).
Should we have a casual or official vote regarding the self-service
functionality?

Adam

Abdul -
We encourage everyone to move away from the self-service component. We
are going to be revising this shortly as it is not designed for a
production environment.
In lieu of this we will propose a solution. This is probably a month or
more away.
The history is that we've identified issues with this component and have
slated it, in many roadmap decisions, for immediate removal. It is getting
close to that point now; we do need to find a way to describe what to do
without the Self Service component.

Hello Team
Has anyone successfully deployed the self-service feature?
If yes please let me know which build you are using.
