Grouper Developers Forum

I guess I was thinking that if we didn't have it added automatically, then if 
you didn't pass one, it would only find groups directly in a stem.  But if 
you pass in a %, then it will be that stem and all substems.  But I don't 
want to derail you :)  If you want me to contribute that part I can (will 
need to join to Stems table and got for a stem_id associated with that group).

Thanks,
Chris

I think the scope still needs the "%", right ?
