Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Keith Hazelton <>]

I just did one test run on a really simple command-line tool to manage 
Grouper's ADMIN and UPDATE access privileges.  It seemed to work, so I'm 
letting others have at it.

If you feel like trying this out, create a new subdirectory in your 
Grouper installation /contrib/load directory called "accessmgr."  Add 
the following three files to that directory:

http://arch.doit.wisc.edu/keith/i2/grouper/accessmgr/README
http://arch.doit.wisc.edu/keith/i2/grouper/accessmgr/accessmgr.java
http://arch.doit.wisc.edu/keith/i2/grouper/accessmgr/build.xml

Then follow the guidance in the README file.

I've tried to follow the conventions established in the other 
contributed programs.  Accessmgr is VERY closely modeled on 
/contrib/load/groupmgr/groupmgr.java.  Saying this protects me against 
the charge of plagiarism and shows sincerest flattery to Blair Christensen.

Here's a snippet from the terminal session that convinced me it kinda 
works.  I wanted to give subject heyward the UPDATE privilege on group 
pase:service:wiscCal:include:

> java accessmgr -g -m heyward -p UPDATE -s pase:service:wiscCal -e 
> include -v

> Enabling verbose mode
> Using extension 'include'
> Enabling grant mode
> Will act upon a group
> Will act upon a member `heyward'
> Will act upon privilege
> Using stem 'pase:service:wiscCal'
> Using default subjectID
> 2004-12-31 10:42:20,358  INFO event: Initializing Grouper
> Using default subjectTypeID (person)
