Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

I believe if the config file specifies to use the wheel group, and a logged 
in user is in the wheel group, then a drop down appears in the upper right 
(see attached screenshot).  You can select act as admin, then "Change", and 
you can then create groups/stems etc.  To bootstrap, GSH can be used to add a 
user to the wheel group specified in the config file.

Regards,
Chris
