Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Thomas M Goerger <>]

So, the quickstart xml file is indicative of the amount of information
that you need to have in order to add users to existing groups?  What if
I've got groups created, and just want to add some users using a flat
file?  Is there no way to just update group information using the
import-xml task?
