Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Will Norris <>]

Is that intended to be THE way to do this type of thing, or are there  
plans to add this into the API (and UI)?  While this might work for  
small groups, it certainly doesn't scale very well if the group I'm  
wanting to move has 60,000 members.

Just for kicks, I tried manually moving the group by changing  
database values, and I only had to change two -- the id for the  
parent_stem, and the "name" attribute.  Stems would only be slightly  
more difficult, since all child groups and stems would need to have  
their name updated.  Did I overlook anything else that should have  
been updated?
