Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

I looked into it, and found out why I never added it to WS, because the 
grouper API doesn't have a method for it.  :)

Anyways, I added it, feel free to get latest from the 1.4 branch, and try it 
out.  I need to do more testing before closing the bug, but the test I did 
through a WS call worked fine.

I added the API:

gsh 0% subj = findSubject("10021368")
subject: id='10021368' type='person' source='pennperson' name='Chris Hyzer'
gsh 1% sess = GrouperSession.start(subj)
edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.GrouperSession: 
8d17a97d-3d1a-4e39-a44c-01a3fead792d,'10021368','person'
gsh 2% member = MemberFinder.findBySubject(sess, subj)
member: id='10021368' type='person' source='pennperson' 
uuid='6512f26a-98b5-486c-bc94-ac26e0d9a7ca'
gsh 3% field = FieldFinder.find("admins")
access privilege: 'admins'
gsh 4% member.getGroups(field);
group: name='aStem:whateverGroup2' displayName='aStem:disp2' 
uuid='b3be109a-afb6-49d0-8aaf-73cbd130f967'
group: name='aStem:aGroup' displayName='aStem:aGroup' 
uuid='4992b987-3329-418e-ba83-9d9335305902'
group: name='aStem:whateverGroup' displayName='aStem:disp1' 
uuid='2703916b-ac8a-4830-9a60-698a3b1faf97'
gsh 5%

Then I added a param on the getGroups web services (all flavors, though here 
is an example in rest batch):

<WsRestGetGroupsRequest>
  <subjectLookups>
    <WsSubjectLookup>
      <subjectId>10021368</subjectId>
    </WsSubjectLookup>
    <WsSubjectLookup>
      <subjectId>10039438</subjectId>
    </WsSubjectLookup>
  </subjectLookups>
  <actAsSubjectLookup>
    <subjectId>GrouperSystem</subjectId>
  </actAsSubjectLookup>
  <params>
    <WsParam>
      <paramName>fieldName</paramName>
      <paramValue>admins</paramValue>
    </WsParam>
  </params>
</WsRestGetGroupsRequest>

This will result in the following response (which looks like the normal 
response, with the exception of the description):
