Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

I think it would be useful to eventually have a higher-level group concept to 
remove this complexity from users.  5 groups is a bit much to have to deal 
with for this use case.  Granted grouper can still store the data in the same 
way it does now, but the user doesn't need to know.  Not sure if this is 
feasible.

Regards,
Chris
