There is no requirement in Grouper for a subject with privileges for a group to be a member of that group

The specific use case is this: a subject wants to be able to
manage the membership of a group (add and remove other
subjects) but not be a member of the group and therefore not
show up in the 'hasMember' and 'member' attributes in the
groups reflection into our LDAP server. We use ldappc to
provision from Grouper into the LDAP server.

I would be grateful for suggestions on how best to support
that use case.
You can assign privileges to any Subject including a person - in the UI you just don't check the Member check box.
