Questions

Q: How is performance impacted if there are a large number of items of of root, for example 1000 folders?

A: Paging is built into the API. There are chained Java calls that use method chaining. So overhead is low in handling queries, even with large number of items.  However, in the menu display on the left, it will only display a certain number due to space limitations. 

Q: What about trace membership?

A: Trace is being implemented as shown in these screens:

http://grouper-ui.uchicago.edu/hifi/trace-membership.html

http://grouper-ui.uchicago.edu/hifi/trace-privileges.html

Chris plans to do additional work on trace stem and attributes. 

 

Chris will schedule work on implementing viewing and editing composite memberships
