Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

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

No, you would need to write some code to do it. I'm sure we can come up 
with a command line script but we're busy getting 1.3.0 ready just now.

You could alter the database directly -

update grouper_members set subject_id=:newId where subject_id=:oldId

The code would look something like:

GrouperSession s = GrouperSession.start(SubjectFinder.findRootSubject();
Member m = MemberFinder.findByUuid(s, "<uuid>") ; //look up uuid in the db
m.setSubjectId(newId);
