📄 Description

Description

This PR implements support for semicolon-separated OAuth group claims, addressing issue #18979.

Changes

Added OAUTH_GROUPS_SEPARATOR environment variable in config.py with default value of semicolon
Updated update_user_groups function in oauth.py to split string claims by the configured separator
Maintains backward compatibility: if separator is not found, treats claim as single group name

Use Case

Many OIDC providers like CILogon (supporting thousands of universities worldwide) return group membership as semicolon-separated strings in the affiliation claim (e.g., Faculty@ucsc.edu;Employee@ucsc.edu;Member@ucsc.edu).

Previously, this was treated as a single monolithic group name. Now it's properly parsed into individual groups.

Configuration

Users can customize the separator via the OAUTH_GROUPS_SEPARATOR environment variable (defaults to semicolon).

Fixes #18979
