We would like to allow users to subscribe or unsubscribe by themselves to a subset of existing On-Call Rosters depending on their assigned roles. This is actually impossible as there is no way to access On-Call Rosters settings programmatically.  
It would be really useful for us to be able to access On-Call Roster settings via a database. It would also make it easy to validate to which On-Call Roster a user is subscribed with a simple sql query. This is quite long actually to validate this when there are many users and many On-Call Rosters.

This is the missing link to a fully automated system, where the supervisors in the field can administer the alarming for their area and their subordinates.

Is there something new or planned in Ignition 7.7 about managing on-call roster users via an external database or programmatically ?
