Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

Sorry to be a newbie, but just trying to understand the language and 
concepts here...

I assume idms is identity management system.  lets give an example.  at 
penn we have a penn_id, which is an 8 digit number assigned to each person.
So if we had a query that returned penn_id's for users who should be in 
a group, you are saying the problem is that there is a loose
coupling between the penn_id and the subject api id?  So grouper would 
need to somehow lookup the subject api id?   And if the query
just returned a list of subject api id's that would be nice for grouper 
but might be inconvenient for users?

Thanks!
