Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

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

Tom,

The session has to be a root session:

root=SubjectFinder.findRootSubject()
session=GrouperSession.start(root)

subject=findSubject("<id>")
member=MemberFinder.findBySubject(session,subject)
member.setSubjectId("<newid>")


Internally an InsufficientPrivilegeException is thrown. Unfortunately that 
is not reflected in the error message you got - something we'll need to 
work on.
