Well, just remember it will a drop down per source, sounds like a kind of 
confusing UI.  If there is a hierarchy of privacy where the more private has 
the more info, then I think it would be rare that you would want to bump down 
to the less private = less information, right?  :)  (hopeful suggestion to 
simplify things?)

Thanks,
Chris

Restricting based on groups sounds good to me.  Though I wonder if we should 
allow users to sort / search using multiple attributes.  For instance, the UI 
can have two drop down lists where the user can select what to sort and 
search on.

Then maybe have config options for the groups (default to wheel only).

jdbc.sortCol0.allowOnlyGroup = stem:all_employees
jdbc.sortCol1.allowOnlyGroup = stem:all_employees
jdbc.sortCol2.allowOnlyGroup = stem:all_employees
...

jdbc.searchCol0.allowOnlyGroup = stem:all_employees
jdbc.searchCol1.allowOnlyGroup = stem:all_employees
jdbc.searchCol2.allowOnlyGroup = stem:all_employees
...

Thanks!

Subject: [grouper-dev] additional columns on member table

Just curious, Shilen / Jim, or anyone else, have we established how will 
these be used.

Ie. there are multiple sort cols, and multiple search cols.  5 of each.

When a user is using the UI, how do we know which one to use for each source? 
 i.e. do we check to see if the user is in a certain group, and if so, then 
use sortCol0/searchCol0.  If not, then if they are in a certain other group, 
then use sortCol1/searchCol1.  And if not, then the default is 
sortCol2/searchCol2 (the last one, most public one).  So basically each 
source will have N options, and N-1 ordered groups to check to see which one 
to use.

Just curious, do we have a wiki page yet?

Thoughts?
Thanks,
Chris
