group module provides functionalities for different methods of group membership checking. The module is primary used to offer Access Control Lists in OpenSER
There is a database table that contains list of users and groups they belong to. The module provides the possibility to check if a specific user belongs to a specific group.
There is no DB caching support, each check involving a DB query.
Another database table contains list of regular expressions and group IDs. A matching occurs if the user URI match the regular expression. This type of matching may be used to fetch the group ID(s) the user belongs to (via RE matching) .
Due performance reasons (regular expression evaluation), DB cache support is available: the table content is loaded into memory at startup and all regular expressions are compiled.
The main function of group module is is_user_in(). This function can check if a user taken from R-URI, From URI, To URI, Credentials or AVP is member of a specific group.
