Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

A few more things:

1. You should probably get the new grouper/build.xml and 
grouper/ext/ext-build.xml as it allows extensions to have configurations 
which is something you will need.

2. I thought that the field permission "system" would mean that only wheel 
group could edit it, but its not the case, it is for internal use only.  So 
if you have the fields already from this page:

https://wiki.internet2.edu/confluence/display/GrouperWG/Grouper+-+Loader

You could edit them in gsh somehow, or edit in table grouper_fields (change 
"system" to "admin").  (I updated that wiki page).  Note we will need a veto 
hook here so that only grouper-loader-admins can deal with grouper-loader 
group types/attributes.

3. When you start the loader the first time, and it gets further than you 
previously did, it should fail and give you an output of DDL to add to the 
DB.  Then you should add that DDL (couple of tables) and start it up again.

Chris
