Well, it should be in the demos that work, and that assign to groups :)

e.g. here

https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Grouper+attribute+framework

I think it makes more sense in the new UI (2.0+) where when creating an 
attributeDef you see all the options, but there are 12 different owner types 
for attributes, and the idea was that it would be easier to know what you are 
allowed to assign to what if it defaulted to nothing, and on create, you 
designate if you can assign to folders, groups, etc.  ok?

Thanks,
Chris

Subject: [grouper-dev] error assigning permission resource to a role.

        When I attempt to assign a role to a permission using gsh. The 
following error occurred: 
// Error: unable to evaluate command: Sourced file: inline evaluation of: 
``iamTagRole.getPermissionRoleDelegate().assignRolePermission(cprWebServicesResour
 . . . '' : Method Invocation assignRolePermission
// See error log for full stacktrace
// caused by: 
edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.exception.AttributeAssignNotAllowed:
// Not allowed to assign to group: 
AttributeDef[name=psu:its:apps:cpr:resources:cprWebServicesDef,uuid=00967081876641f49a4d58d743d0c130],
 461d41da6c094879a6ecf43b5450f892, to allow this, make sure the attributeDef 
has setAssignToGroup(true)

        I checked the isAssignToGroup status  - it was false.   I set the 
isAssignToGroup status to true, store the group change and was successfully 
able to assign the permission to the role.

        I didn't see this command used in any of the demos that I looked at 
and I was wondering if there is a grouper property that would automatically 
set the isAssignToGroup status to true when a new attribute def is created?

        I am using Grouper 1.6.3 binary package.
