Yes, we should do this.  Sorry about that.  So we changed the API earlier so 
that setters don't do anything, but when you call "store()", or "save()" or 
something, that is what sends the sql.  So can that method check to see if 
the object has changed and add the rolesets?  Do you want to do this or do 
you want me to?  :)

Thanks!
Chris

Subject: [grouper-dev] converting group to role?

Hey,

I'm wondering if it should be possible to convert a group to a role.  If 
you set Group.setTypeOfGroup(TypeOfGroup.role), that doesn't add the 
role sets.  Should that add the role set(s), or should there be another 
way to convert a group to a role, or is there actually another way, or 
should it not be possible..?

I basically mistakenly added a group instead of a role and then added 
memberships and access privileges and finally when I was about to add 
permissions, I realized my mistake.

Thanks!
