fix: drop legacy app_super_admin -- SUPER_ADMIN_GROUP is now god_admin (v1.26.1) (#167)

god_admin now exists at boot (seeded by docker-entrypoint), so the canonical
cross-resource super group nested into every resource's _admin group is god_admin,
not the legacy app_super_admin. docker-entrypoint no longer seeds or nests
app_super_admin (god_admin nests into the app_sso_* groups directly). isSuperAdmin
still recognizes a pre-existing app_super_admin as a migration alias until rebuild.

+# v1.26.1
+- fix: the legacy `app_super_admin` group is gone — `SUPER_ADMIN_GROUP` (nested into every resource's `_admin` group by auto-provisioning) is now `god_admin`, and `docker-entrypoint.sh` no longer seeds or nests `app_super_admin` (god_admin is nested into the `app_sso_*` groups directly). `isSuperAdmin` still recognizes a pre-existing `app_super_admin` as a migration alias, so an old deployment isn't stripped of rights until it's rebuilt.
+
+# v1.26.0
+- feat: complete the group model (docs/GROUPS.md) — `god_admin` is now seeded into LDAP and nested into `app_super_admin`; every site auto-provisions `{site}_super_admin`, `{site}_hosts_*`/`{site}_apps_*` aggregates and `{site}_everyone`; per-resource `_admin`/`_access` groups (named `{site}_{slug}_{level}`, the kind carried in the resource slug) are nested into the site aggregates so the inheritance lattice exists in LDAP, not just in the resolver. Site/aggregate groups are self-healed idempotently on every Directory load, so a directory seeded by an older release picks them up without a rebuild.
+- feat: the naming convention is now enforced server-side — `POST /api/directory-admin/groups` rejects a group CN that isn't a valid group for the target resource (its own `_admin`/`_access`/capability, a site aggregate, a site-level group, or `god_admin`), so the free-text field can no longer mint `*_accessmember`-style names
+- feat: `god_admin` is managed from the Directory — the site resource modal surfaces `god_admin` + the site-level groups as associated groups, so its members (and the site's) are editable right there
+- fix: Directory agent status dots no longer paint every host red when the `/api/agent/nodes` endpoint is unreachable (older app or transient outage) — they now show a neutral grey "agent service unreachable" instead of a false alarm
+- fix: Profile + API Tokens cards are both full-width on the profile page (the API card was a narrower centered block)
+- fix: in-app `/docs/<slug>` pages returned 500 — `Dockerfile.openldap` never copied the `docs/` tree into the image (only the root README/CHANGELOG/API/directory_spec), so every page but those few hit a missing-file error; the whole `docs/` dir now ships, and doc images are served at `/docs/images`
+- test: group resolver tests now cover the prefixed site-slug convention (`site_local_...` is kept verbatim, not re-slugified to `site-local`)
+
+# v1.25.0
+- feat: hierarchical group & permission model (docs/GROUPS.md) — god_admin, {site}_super_admin, {site}_hosts_*/{site}_apps_* aggregates, and per-resource {site}_host_<slug>_admin/access/<capability>; inheritance resolver (admin implies access, capabilities explicit), meta everyone/{site}_everyone groups
+- feat: remove the standalone Groups page — group management is tied to adopted Directory resources (help link to the model in the Directory toolbar)
+- feat: console admin recognizes god_admin and site-scoped super/app-admin groups (legacy app_sso_admin/app_super_admin kept as migration aliases)
+
+# v1.24.0
+- feat: Agents merged into the Directory — removed the standalone Agents page. Host rows show a green/yellow/red theta-agent status dot (healthy / high-load / not connected) and the resource modal gained a Metrics tab with live telemetry + discovery
+- feat: Discovery Plugins New-plugin modal — slug is now derived from the name (field removed), the cron field is a dropdown (hourly/daily/weekly + custom), and per-plugin settings are collected from the configSchema (e.g. Proxmox url/tokenId/tokenSecret) instead of an empty config
+- feat: Directory resource slug is now read-only and derived from the name
+- feat: Vault page restyled to match the rest of the site (bounded container, card + nav-tabs header, h4)
+- feat: navbar — the username is no longer underlined; only the active nav link is bold + underlined
+
+# v1.23.0
+- fix: /api/vault proxy never injected X-Vault-Token — the true root cause of the recurring vault 403 "permission denied". The proxy declared its hook with http-proxy-middleware v3 syntax (`on: { proxyReq }`), which the installed HPM v2 silently ignores, so every request reached OpenBao unauthenticated (and the client's sso auth headers were never stripped). Rewritten as v2 `onProxyReq`.
+- fix: vault proxy header injection ordered before `fixRequestBody` — the body write flushes headers, so setting X-Vault-Token after it silently failed on every POST/PUT (writes would still 403 even with the hook fixed)
+- fix: initORM add-only schema heal — `sequelize.sync()` never ALTERs existing tables, so columns added by newer releases (e.g. `PluginInstance.lastLog`, which crashed the scheduler on every boot of an upgraded deployment) are now detected via describeTable and added with addColumn (additive only, per-column fail-soft)
+- feat: external-app vault tokens are long-lived and auto-renewed — minted via the new `sso-app` token role (periodic 768h, falls back to sso-broker's 24h role until theta-suite setup.sh is re-run); sso stores each token's accessor (new VaultAppToken model — an accessor can renew/revoke but not authenticate) and renews all of them at boot + every 6h via auth/token/renew-accessor, so a downstream app's credential stays valid as long as sso runs with zero renewal code in the app
+- feat: re-minting an app token revokes the app's previous token via its stored accessor — exactly one live credential per app, no zombies
+- test: wire-level tests for the vault proxy (real HTTP round-trip asserting token injection, auth-header stripping, path rewrite, and POST body integrity) + app-token accessor lifecycle tests
+
+# v1.22.0
+- feat: Agents page — live list of connected theta-agent hosts with telemetry (CPU/RAM/disk/ZFS/GPU) + online status, updating via socket.io
+- security: auth + admin-gate the /api/agent REST routes (previously unauthenticated)
+
+# v1.21.0
+- fix: always reconcile OpenBao policy content before serving a (possibly cached) token, so stale stored policies can no longer cause a recurring vault 403 "permission denied"
+- feat: shared secrets — users can publish secrets to secret/shared/<owner>/<slug> and grant read access to other users and downstream apps (OpenBao ACL policy edits, applied live)
+- feat: shared-secrets API + Shared tab in the vault UI
+
+# v1.20.0
+- fix: OpenBao 403 on vault secrets list (directory list grants + policy self-heal)
+
 ## v1.19.0

-# Discovery Agents
+# Theta Agent & Endpoint Management
 
-The SSO Manager supports a robust agent architecture for auto-discovering devices, hosts, and services across your home lab or data center. Agents run on a scheduled cron and feed their data into a central **Reconciliation Engine** that smartly merges information based on MAC addresses and IPs.
+The **Theta Agent** (`theta-agent`) is a unified, 2-way Command & Control (C2) endpoint management daemon written in Go for Linux hosts across your home lab, infrastructure, or data center. It connects outbound via a long-lived WebSocket connection to the central **SSO Manager** (`wss://<sso-host>/api/agent/ws`), enabling real-time host telemetry, automated host discovery, and local-first administrative management.
 
-## Writing a Custom Agent
+---
 
-Agents are simple JavaScript files placed in `nodejs/agents/discovery/`.
+## Core Functionality
 
-A agent must export a single `discover` async function that returns a standardized graph of `resources` and `edges`.
+### 1. Host Discovery & Inventory
+Upon establishing a WebSocket connection, the agent immediately pushes a comprehensive discovery payload:
+- **Hostname & Network Interfaces**: Hostname and all non-loopback IPv4 addresses and MACs.
+- **Operating System & Kernel**: Linux distribution, platform, and kernel version.
+- **Hardware Specs**: CPU model, total RAM (GB), and total root disk capacity (GB).
+- **Physical Location**: Location identifier string (e.g. `dc-01-rack-12`) configured in `agent.yml`.
 
-### Agent Skeleton
+If the agent detects a network IP change, it automatically re-pushes an updated discovery payload to the SSO Manager.
 
-```javascript
+### 2. Real-Time Telemetry Streaming
-// nodejs/agents/discovery/my_custom_agent.js
+Every 30 seconds, the agent streams real-time performance metrics:
-module.exports = {
+- **CPU Load**: System-wide CPU utilization percentage.
-  discover: async (config) => {
+- **Memory Utilization**: RAM usage percentage and available memory.
-    const { url, apiKey } = config; // Provided by your configuration
+- **Disk Utilization**: Root filesystem usage percentage.
-    
+- **ZFS Storage Health**: Health status of ZFS pools (e.g., `ONLINE`).
-    const resources = [];
+- **NVIDIA GPU Load**: GPU compute utilization percentage (via `nvidia-smi`).
-    const edges = [];
 
-    // 1. Fetch your data from an API
+---
-    // const data = await fetch(...);
 
-    // 2. Map data to Resources
+## Viewing in the SSO Manager
-    resources.push({
-      kind: 'network_device', // 'host', 'service', 'network_device', 'unmanaged_device'
-      name: 'My Switch',
-      slug: 'my-switch-01',
-      metadata: {
-        make: 'Vendor',
-        model: 'Model X',
-        interfaces: [
-          { mac: '00:1A:2B:3C:4D:5E', ip: '10.0.0.5' }
-        ]
-      }
-    });
 
-    // 3. Map relations to Edges (optional)
+Agent status and telemetry live on the **Directory** page — there is no separate
-    edges.push({
+Agents page. For each **host** resource that has a connected theta-agent, the
-      parentSlug: 'my-switch-01',
+Directory shows a status dot in the row:
-      childSlug: 'some-connected-client-slug',
-      relation: 'connected_to' // 'hosts', 'exposes', 'connected_to'
-    });
 
-    return { resources, edges };
+| Color | Meaning |
-  }
+| :--- | :--- |
-};
+| **Green** | Connected, healthy (CPU/RAM/disk within limits). |
+| **Yellow** | Connected but under high load (CPU > 80% or RAM > 80% or disk > 90%). |
+| **Red** | Not connected (no agent, or the agent is offline). |
+
+Opening a host's resource modal reveals a **Metrics** tab with the agent's live
+telemetry (CPU/RAM/disk/ZFS/GPU) and discovery info (OS, kernel, IPs, location).
+The agent is joined to its host by hostname (`agent.discovery.hostname` ↔ the
+resource name), so name the Directory host the same as the machine's hostname.
+
+---
+
+## Local-First Security & Capability Matrix
+
+To protect hosts against unauthorized control, `theta-agent` enforces a **strict, local-first capability matrix** defined in `/etc/theta42/agent.yml`. Central SSO Manager requests are checked against local configuration before execution; permissions cannot be overridden remotely.
+
+| Capability | Config Key | Risk Level | Description & Impact |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| **Telemetry** | `telemetry` | Safe | Streams read-only system metrics (CPU, RAM, Disk, ZFS, GPU). |
+| **Configure LDAP** | `configure_ldap` | Moderate | Writes updated SSSD configuration to `/etc/sssd/sssd.conf` & restarts `sssd`. |
+| **Service Control** | `service_control` | High | Restarts systemd services listed in an explicit allowlist (e.g., `["nginx", "docker", "sssd"]`). |
+| **Reboot** | `reboot` | High | Triggers an immediate system reboot (`systemctl reboot`). |
+| **Arbitrary Bash** | `arbitrary_bash` | Critical | Executes raw bash scripts sent from the SSO Manager as `root` (used for automated GitOps). |
+
+---
+
+## High-Risk Command Verification (Protocol v1.1.0)
+
+High-risk management commands (`reboot`, `service_restart`, `configure_ldap`, `arbitrary_bash`, `update_binary`) are cryptographically verified using **Ed25519 signatures**:
+1. The SSO Manager canonicalizes the command payload (sorted keys, no whitespace).
+2. The payload is signed with the SSO Manager's Ed25519 private key.
+3. The Base64 signature is appended to the message payload.
+4. The agent verifies the signature against the configured `public_key` in `/etc/theta42/agent.yml` before executing the action.
+
+---
+
+## Installation & Deployment
+
+### Quick One-Liner Install
+Run the following command as `root` on the target Linux host:
+
+```bash
+curl -fsSL https://<SSO_HOST>/resources/theta-agent/install.sh | sh -s -- --url "https://<SSO_HOST>" --token "<HOST_TOKEN>"
 ```
 
-## Configuration
+### Custom Config Wizard
+You can generate a Base64-encoded custom configuration using the **Install Agent** button on the **Directory Management** page in the SSO Manager UI:
 
-Agents are automatically loaded and executed by the internal BullMQ job scheduler. You configure them in your `config/sso-secrets.js`:
+```bash
-
+curl -fsSL https://<SSO_HOST>/resources/theta-agent/install.sh | sh -s -- "<BASE64_ENCODED_CONFIG>"
-```javascript
-module.exports = {
-  // ... existing config ...
-  discovery: {
-    agents: {
-      my_custom_agent: {
-        enabled: true,
-        cron: '*/30 * * * *', // Run every 30 minutes
-        url: 'https://api.example.com',
-        apiKey: 'secret-key'
-      },
-      nmap: {
-        enabled: true,
-        cron: '0 * * * *',
-        targetRange: '192.168.1.0/24'
-      }
-    }
-  }
-};
 ```
 
-## The Reconciliation Engine
+---
+
+## Configuration File Example (`/etc/theta42/agent.yml`)
+
+```yaml
+# /etc/theta42/agent.yml
+server_url: "wss://sso.example.com"
+auth_token: "your-unique-host-token"
+location: "dc-01-rack-12"
+public_key: "MCowBQYDK2VwAyEA..."
+
+capabilities:
+  telemetry: true
+  configure_ldap: true
+  reboot: false
+  service_control: ["nginx", "docker", "sssd"]
+  arbitrary_bash: false
+```
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting: agent can't connect (`dial tcp ... i/o timeout`)
+
+If the agent host logs `Dial error: dial tcp <ip>:443: i/o timeout` while
+connecting to `wss://<sso-host>/api/agent/ws`, the WebSocket path is usually
+fine — this is a **network/NAT** problem, not an agent or SSO bug. A host behind
+the same NAT that owns the SSO often cannot reach its own **public IP** (no
+hairpin/loopback NAT on many home routers), so the TCP dial times out even
+though the same address works from outside.
+
+Fix options:
+1. Point `agent.yml` `server_url` at an address the host can reach directly —
+   e.g. the SSO host's LAN IP (`http://<lan-ip>` or `http://<lan-ip>:3001` for a
+   no-TLS direct path).
+2. Enable **NAT reflection / hairpin NAT** on the router so LAN hosts can reach
+   their own public IP:443.
+3. Add a local route/firewall rule on the agent host for its public IP.
+
+> Note: on a deployment where the theta42 proxy fronts `sso.suite.example`, make
+> sure the proxy has a **persistent Host record** for the real SSO domain — not
+> just the `localtest.me` placeholder — so routing survives a proxy restart
+> (an in-memory lookup cache can mask a missing Redis record for up to ~1h).
+
 
-When your agent returns its graph, the Reconciliation Engine takes over:
-1. **Matching:** It tries to find an existing device in the database matching any MAC address provided in the `interfaces` array. If no MAC matches, it falls back to IP address, and then to `slug`.
-2. **Merging:** If it finds a match, it gracefully merges the metadata (so your agent can add CPU info to a host that NMAP previously found).
-3. **Source Tracking:** It records your agent's filename in the `discovery_sources` array on the resource, and updates the `last_seen` timestamp.
-4. **LDAP Spam Prevention:** Brand new devices are marked as `managed: false`. They will not pollute your LDAP directory until an admin explicitly promotes them.

+title: Group & Permission Model
+nav_order: 3
+---
+
+# Theta42 Group & Permission Model
+
+This is the canonical reference for how **groups and permissions work** across the
+theta42 suite (SSO Manager, Proxy, Jump-Host) and how **downstream apps and Linux
+hosts** should read and use them. It is written to be implementable by both humans
+and LLM agents.
+
+Everything below assumes LDAP is the single source of truth for identity and group
+membership. Group membership is managed in the **SSO Manager Directory**, generated
+from adopted resources — there is **no standalone "Groups" page**.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Principles
+
+1. **Groups are a projection of the resource graph.** Every adopted host and app
+   in the Directory gets its own groups, auto-created from its identity. Group
+   membership is managed on the resource's modal.
+2. **Two orthogonal resource namespaces: `host` and `app`.** A host administers
+   hosts; an app administers apps. They do not inherit from each other.
+3. **Three levels per resource: `admin`, `access`, and opaque `capability`.**
+   `admin` implies `access`. Capabilities are explicit and never implied by
+   `admin`.
+4. **Multi-site by prefix.** Each site's groups are fully independent, scoped by
+   the site slug.
+5. **Hosts map, LDAP stays clean.** Directory groups are `groupOfNames` (RBAC)
+   with **no `gidNumber`**. A Linux host uses SSSD to import only the groups it
+   needs and generate their GIDs on the fly (see §8) — no mass import, no GID
+   bloat. Only the meta groups are never imported by hosts.
+6. **The directory is the only place groups are created.** `god_admin` is the sole
+   group that does not belong to a resource or site.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Group schema
+
+`S` = site slug (see §7 for normalization). `<host>`/`<app>` = the resource slug.
+`<capability>` = an opaque, app-defined capability token (see §4).
+
+| Group | Scope | Meaning |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| `god_admin` | global | **Everything, everywhere** (all sites, hosts, apps, consoles, all capabilities). The only non-site group. |
+| `S_super_admin` | site | Everything on site `S` (all hosts, apps, consoles, all capabilities at `S`). |
+| `S_hosts_admin` | site | Admin on **all hosts** at `S`. |
+| `S_hosts_access` | site | Access to **all hosts** at `S`. |
+| `S_hosts_<capability>` | site | Capability `<capability>` on **all hosts** at `S`. |
+| `S_host_<host>_admin` | host | Admin on host `<host>`. |
+| `S_host_<host>_access` | host | Access to host `<host>`. |
+| `S_host_<host>_<capability>` | host | Capability `<capability>` on host `<host>`. |
+| `S_apps_admin` | site | Admin on **all apps** at `S`. |
+| `S_apps_access` | site | Access to **all apps** at `S`. |
+| `S_apps_<capability>` | site | Capability `<capability>` on **all apps** at `S`. |
+| `S_app_<app>_admin` | app | Admin on app `<app>`. |
+| `S_app_<app>_access` | app | Access to app `<app>`. |
+| `S_app_<app>_<capability>` | app | Capability `<capability>` on app `<app>`. |
+
+### Meta groups (implicit membership — not POSIX, no gidNumber)
+
+| Group | Scope | Meaning |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| `everyone` | global | **All authenticated users**, any site. |
+| `S_everyone` | site | **All authenticated users** at site `S`. |
+
+These are resolved by the directory (any authenticated user passes), never
+enumerated as LDAP members, and cannot be used as Unix groups.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Naming, normalization & reserved rules
+
+- The **structural delimiter is `_`**. It appears only between the fixed segments
+  of a group name.
+- **Site, host, and app slugs never contain `_`.** Normalize to lowercase;
+  spaces and `_` → `-`; strip other non-`[a-z0-9-]`. A host named `Web 01` and a
+  site `Main Office` produce slugs `web-01` and `main-office`.
+- **Aggregate groups use the plural kind** (`hosts`, `apps`); per-resource groups
+  use the singular (`host`, `app`). This makes `S_hosts_admin` unambiguous even
+  if a host were named `admin` (that host would be `S_host_admin_admin`).
+- **The last segment is the level.** If it is `admin` or `access` it is a known
+  level; any other value is an **opaque capability** owned by a downstream app.
+- **Total length budget:** keep a group cn under ~120 chars; reject group
+  creation that would exceed it.
+- Groups are **`groupOfNames`** (RFC 2307bis) with **no `gidNumber`**. GIDs are
+  generated on the host by SSSD for only the groups that host imports (see §8).
+
+---
+
+## 4. Levels and opaque capabilities
+
+- **`admin`** — manage (create/update/delete/config) the resource.
+- **`access`** — use/read the resource.
+- **`<capability>`** — an arbitrary token the SSO does **not** interpret. The SSO
+  manages membership and exposes the group to the app; **the downstream app
+  defines and enforces what the capability means** (e.g. `emby_admin`,
+  `gitea_maintain`, `reboot`, `backup`).
+
+The directory recognizes `admin`, `access`, `super_admin`, and the meta groups.
+Everything else on a resource group is treated as an opaque capability group and
+passed through to consumers.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Permission resolution (inheritance)
+
+Define a user's **effective permission** on a resource by checking, from most
+specific to most general, whether they are a member of any applicable group. The
+rule: a higher group implies everything below it.
+
+### On host `H` at site `S`
+
+| Wanted | Granted if the user is a member of **any** of |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| **admin** on `H` | `god_admin` · `S_super_admin` · `S_hosts_admin` · `S_host_H_admin` |
+| **access** on `H` | (any admin rule above) · `S_hosts_access` · `S_host_H_access` |
+| **capability `C`** on `H` | `god_admin` · `S_super_admin` · `S_hosts_C` · `S_host_H_C` |
+
+### On app `A` at site `S`
+
+Identical, with `app`/`apps` substituted for `host`/`hosts`.
+
+### Management console (SSO / Proxy / Jump-Host)
+
+Each console is registered as an **app** on its site, so console admin is:
+
+`god_admin` · `S_super_admin` · `S_app_<console>_admin`
+
+### Pseudocode
+
+```
+def effective(resource, level_or_cap, site):
+    if user in "god_admin":                  return True
+    if user in f"{site}_super_admin":        return True

+
+`everyone` / `S_everyone` are a special grantee: if a resource grants a group to
+`everyone` (or `S_everyone`), any authenticated user (at that site) passes.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Where groups live — the Directory, generated from adopted resources
+
+- There is **no standalone Groups page.** Group creation/management happens on an
+  **adopted resource** in the Directory.
+- When a host or app is **adopted** (promoted from Discovered Inventory to
+  managed), the directory auto-creates its `_admin` and `_access` groups (and
+  site aggregates if configured). Capability groups are created on demand.
+- Membership (add/remove users) and capability grants are managed on that
+  resource's modal.
+- Deleting a resource removes its per-resource groups.
+- The `S_super_admin`, `S_hosts_*`, `S_apps_*`, `S_everyone` site groups and the
+  global `god_admin`/`everyone` are managed at the site level (not on a single
+  host/app resource).
+
+---
+
+## 7. Multi-site isolation
+
+One LDAP tree can serve many sites ("Main Office", "Branch Office", "co-lo",
+"Mikes Homelab", …). Each site `S` has its own fully independent set of `S_*`
+groups behind its prefix. A `main-office_super_admin` or `main-office_hosts_admin`
+touches nothing in `branch-office_*` or `steves-homelab_*`. Only `god_admin` and
+`everyone` cross site boundaries.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Unix/POSIX groups — mapped on the host, not in LDAP
+
+Directory groups are **`groupOfNames`** (RFC 2307bis) and carry **no `gidNumber`**.
+There are hundreds of them and only a handful matter on any given host, so we do
+**not** bloat LDAP with GIDs. Instead, each Linux host uses SSSD to import only the
+groups it cares about and map them to GIDs **on the fly** (algorithmic ID mapping).
+This keeps the directory clean and the per-host surface tiny.
+
+### SSSD — generate GIDs on the fly, import only what you need
+
+```ini
+[domain/example]
+id_provider = ldap
+auth_provider = ldap
+ldap_uri = ldaps://ldap.example
+ldap_search_base = dc=example,dc=com
+
+# groupOfNames (RFC 2307bis) schema
+ldap_schema = rfc2307bis
+ldap_group_object_class = groupOfNames
+ldap_group_member = member
+
+# Map GIDs mathematically from the LDAP UUID — no gidNumber in LDAP
+ldap_id_mapping = true
+ldap_group_uuid = entryUUID
+
+# Import ONLY the groups this host needs (e.g. a naming convention or an OU)
+ldap_group_search_filter = (&(objectClass=groupOfNames)(cn=linux-*))
+```
+
+Key ideas:
+- `ldap_id_mapping = true` + `ldap_group_uuid = entryUUID` make SSSD derive a
+  stable GID for any group it imports, so **no `gidNumber` attribute is required**
+  in LDAP.
+- `ldap_group_search_filter` is the gatekeeper: SSSD imports only groups that
+  match, discarding the other hundreds. After changing the filter, clear the
+  cache (`sss_cache -E`; `rm -f /var/lib/sss/db/*`; restart sssd) and verify with
+  `getent group <cn>`.
+
+### What filter to use — the naming convention is the answer
+
+A host should import its **own** resource groups (plus any explicitly granted
+ones). Because the schema is predictable, `ldap-client` can generate the per-host
+`ldap_group_search_filter` from the enrolled host's identity, e.g. a host `web01`
+at site `main-office` imports:
+
+```
+(&(objectClass=groupOfNames)(|(cn=main-office_host_web01_access)
+                               (cn=main-office_host_web01_admin)
+                               (cn=main-office_host_web01_sudo)))
+```
+
+So the operator (or ldap-client) selects a small allowlist of the host's `_access`
+/ `_admin` / capability groups to feed sudoers, SSH `AllowGroups`, and filesystem
+ACLs. **Only those groups are imported** — no GID bloat, no mass import.
+
+### Aliasing an LDAP group into a local group (e.g. `input`)
+
+SSSD cannot merge an LDAP group into a local group whose GID varies per host.
+Two host-side mechanisms cover it:
+
+- **pam_exec** — a script in the login stack adds the user to the local group for
+  the session:
+  ```sh
+  #!/bin/bash
+  if id -Gn "$PAM_USER" | grep -q "host_input"; then usermod -a -G input "$PAM_USER"; fi
+  ```
+  `session optional pam_exec.so /usr/local/bin/add_to_input.sh` in
+  `/etc/pam.d/common-session`.
+
+- **nss-groupmerge** — merge an LDAP group into a local group at NSS time
+  (`/etc/groupmerge.conf`: `input: host_input`, then `group: files sssd groupmerge`
+  in `/etc/nsswitch.conf`), so any service querying `input` sees the LDAP group's
+  members regardless of the local GID.
+
+### Meta groups
+
+`god_admin`, `everyone`, and `S_everyone` are NOT imported by hosts — they have
+implicit membership and are resolved by the directory only.
+
+---
+
+## 9. Downstream-app consumption guide
+
+A downstream app (Emby, Gitea, a custom service, a shell script) reads group
+membership from LDAP and interprets it as follows:
+
+1. **Discover the user's groups** — bind with the user's credentials (or use a
+   service account + `memberOf`). Groups are `groupOfNames` (member DN), so query
+   by the user's DN, e.g. `(&(objectClass=groupOfNames)(member=<user_dn>))`, or use
+   the `memberOf` reverse attribute on the user's entry.
+2. **Match each group to a scope:**
+   - `god_admin` → the user is a global administrator.
+   - `{site}_super_admin` → site administrator for that site.
+   - `{site}_hosts_*` / `{site}_app_*` (aggregate) → applies to all hosts/apps at the site.
+   - `{site}_host_<host>_*` / `{site}_app_<app>_*` → applies to that one resource.
+   - `everyone` / `{site}_everyone` → the user is implicitly a member.
+3. **Interpret the last segment:**
+   - `admin` → full control of that resource.
+   - `access` → read/use.
+   - anything else → a capability **you** define; act on it or ignore it.
+4. A user with `{site}_host_web01_access` can reach `web01`; a user with
+   `{site}_host_web01_reboot` (if you define `reboot`) may reboot it; a user with
+   `{site}_app_emby_emby_admin` administers Emby.
+
+The app must **never** treat an unknown last segment as `admin` or `access`.
+
+---
+
+## 10. Migration from the legacy `app_*` groups
+
+The current global groups (`app_sso_admin`, `app_super_admin`,
+`app_sso_directory_admin`, `app_jump_admin`) are replaced by the new model:
+
+| Legacy | New |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| `app_super_admin` | `god_admin` |
+| `app_sso_admin` | `S_app_sso_admin` (+ `S_super_admin` for site admins) |
+| `app_sso_directory_admin` | `S_app_sso_admin` |
+| `app_jump_admin` | `S_app_jump_admin` |
+
+During the transition the legacy groups may be kept as short-lived aliases that
+resolve to the same effective permission; once everything is moved, remove them.
+
+---
+
+## 11. The management consoles are apps
+
+The SSO, Proxy, and Jump-Host each register themselves as an app on their site and
+receive their auto-generated groups (`S_app_sso_admin`, `S_app_proxy_admin`,
+`S_app_jump_admin`, plus `_access`). Their admin UIs gate on
+`god_admin` · `S_super_admin` · `S_app_<console>_admin`. This keeps everything
+self-consistent: the SSO is "just another app."
