Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

The second arg to the grantPriv gsh call is subjectId, and the subjectId of a 
group is its uuid and not its name.  So this will work:

gsh 0% GrouperSession grouperSession = GrouperSession.startRootSession();
gsh 1% Group group = GroupFinder.findByName(grouperSession, 
"aStem:activeEmployee");
gsh 2% grantPriv("aStem", group.getUuid(), NamingPrivilege.STEM)
true
gsh 3%

However, we have seen this confusion before, and I suggest we:

https://bugs.internet2.edu/jira/browse/GRP-217

Change subjectId calls in GSH to use SubjectFinder.findByIdOrIdentifier(), 
which would handle this case, and probably others where it is a little 
confusing.  This works by first looking by ID, and if it finds the subject, 
use it.  If not, then search by identifier (which in this case the group name 
is an identifier).  Any reasons not to do this?

Thanks,
Chris
