Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Keith Hazelton <>]

I've had some success adding a new group type "service" that is like 
group type "base" but with three additional list attributes:

elig-affils
includes
excludes

This is part of a project to prototype our PASE (Populations, 
affiliations, services, entitlements) system here at UW-Madison.

Basic idea is to manage things like "Give 'wiscCal' calendar service to 
'contractors'"

so wiscCal is modeled as a group of type "service" named 
"pase:service:wiscCal"
and contractors is a simple group of type "base" named 
"pase:affil:contractors"
and the list attribute of wiscCal called 'elig-affils' has one member, 
"pase:affiliation:contractors"

This required some fairly straightforward modifications to 
.../grouper-0.5/contrib/load/groupmgr/groupmgr.java which are marked 
with comments of the form
/* v added khazelton 29-Dec-04 */

Basically I added a command line option "-t <gtype>" to allow one to 
specify the group type to be acted upon

running the modified groupmgr.java with the command line:

java groupmgr -v -a -g -s pase:service -e wiscCal -t service

gave the following message, among others, in -verbose mode:

2004-12-29 20:32:00,968  INFO event: 'GrouperSystem' created 
'pase:service:wiscCal' (service)

The modified groupmgr.java file can be viewed at:
