Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

["GW Brown, Information Systems and Computing" <>]

Hi Joy,

Out of the box Grouper only recognises GrouperSystem and GrouperAll as 
subjects. All creation of stems and groups is controlled by privileges 
assigned to subjects - so none can be assigned to you beforehand. The 
instructions from Tom's email still hold, though now there is the 
possibility of defining a wheel group whose members have GrouperSystem 
privileges. You still need to create this group - so you'll have to log in 
as GrouperSystem.

Maybe it would be worth having an additional Ant target which would create 
a wheel group and assign some members? In principle the QuickStart 
XmlLoader contribution could be used to do this.
