For synch, we've currently approached this by controlling the synch from 
the MACE Grouper end. We've added attributes within MACE Grouper (eg 
LDAPsynch, GOOGLEsynch, etc); checking one of this turns on the 
appropriate synch. If any entries appear in the Grouper Change log for a 
group with one of those attributes set, then we put a msg on a msg bus, 
and a listener does the appropriate synch....

re some sort of GUI within BOX to create an access control policy on 
some object... and being able to select a Group... before I even go 
there, can I assume that BOX will support ACLs on groups ? So that I 
won't be shown any groups that I'm not supposed to know about ?
