EZProxy Groups for Roles

The EZProxy module provides Drupal Users access to databases that may have restricted access. The EZProxy system can restrict access to Groups that are managed by the EZProxy provider. This module allows these Groups to be mapped to Drupal User Roles so that when a Drupal User tries to authenticate to EZProxy the Groups can be sent based on the Roles the User has assigned to them.

Project status

The EZProxy module currently has a patch in the issue queue that will allow third party modules to add Groups to the authentication process. Until this patch is accepted you will need to apply this patch to the module.

drush make

Using drush and a build file for drush make is an easy way to add EZProxy and have it patched for you.

Add something like the following to your build file;

core = 7.x
api = 2

;; DEFAULTS
defaults[projects][type] = module
defaults[projects][subdir] = contrib

;; PROJECTS
projects[ezproxy][version] = 2
projects[ezproxy][patch][] = "https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/2019-04-17/ezproxy-compatibility-with-latest-version-2932159-3.patch"

Usage

Once enabled you will want to apply the access ezproxy content permission to the Roles you want to use. Once done these Roles will become available on the Administration » Configuration » EZProxy » EZProxy Groups page. Add the Groups set up with your EZProxy provider to the Roles you want to be able to access specific resources. Then give your Users the appropriate Roles.
