What happens if the Groupee service is unavailable for whatever reason....I know, I know, but it does happen from time to time!

Is there a cached copy of Groupeee account authentication details available for use by each ubb.x module or each eve server, so that each community's members, can login without errors should the Groupee service be unavailable?

How will that whole process work?

Groupee authentication is never performed by eve sites. For security reasons, it always occurs with Groupee itself. Thus, this requires that Groupee be available. Of course, we will be making groupee itself as fail-safe as possible.

Good point, dharrison - we'll have to be extra careful with Groupee, since it will affect so many people.
