Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

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

Hi Tom,

Grouper does membership mapping against a row in grouper_members. You can 
change the subject id there and all the group memberships / privileges 
still work because they map to a group using the member uuid.

There is a Member.setSubjectId method which allows GrouperSystem to do this 
change via the API.
