Blacklisting vs Whitelisting

Listing Options During Setup

• During creation of the mumc_config.yaml, MUMC will ask which list method to use when selecting libraries for monitored users.
  • whitelist
  • blacklist

admin_settings:
  behavior:
    list: string

Choose Blacklist During The Setup When

• In general, you want to select libraries MUMC should delete media_items from.
  • This can be changed with behavioral_statements and/or behavioral_tags

Choose Whitelist During The Setup When

• In general, you want to select libraries MUMC should not delete media_items from.
  • This can be changed with behavioral_statements and/or behavioral_tags

Whitelisting Examples; Assume x4 Libraries

• Examples of how libraries are organized when whitelisting is chosen during setup:
  • user0
    • libraryD selected
  • user1
    • libraryC selected
    • libraryD selected
  • user2
    • libraryB selected
    • libraryC selected
    • libraryD selected
  • user3
    • -no libraries selected-
