[sudo-discuss] [CCLmembers] looking for alternative to sudo humans for membership management

[Seth Columbia]

Looking at alternatives we quickly run into the question. What's a
reasonable amount to pay for this service? And what do we value. It seems
like a cloud based service is potentially best in terms of convenience.

I get the sense a free alternative is preferred but it would have to be
convenient. It would seem we have payed a lot of money for our current free
services when we add up profit not made due toacking features and function
so.

Is there any budget? It seems that ~50 a month opens us up to a pretty wide
spread of decent programs.

There are free alternatives however.

It appears that every option has some learning curve so I'm trying to keep
long term vision alive alongside current restraints.

Just checking in,

Seth
