Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Martin van Es <>]

Hi,

I needed the exact functionality described a couple of days ago. The example 
is mostly clear but is there any documentation on the mapping of group 
privileges (types/names) to fieldName/Value? It's like having 2 interfaces 
for 
the same question, why not stick to the privilegeType/Name version?
Also, I was unable to find (javadoc) documentation on the privilegeType/Name 
enum values or fieldName/Values. Is there any?

I found this mail:
http://mail.internet2.edu/wws/arc/grouper-users/2009-02/msg00055.html

Which seems to answer part of my question, but where would I look without the 
mailinglist?

Ok... (I'm writing and thinking aloud now): it seems to be 'documented' in 
the 
grouper_fields table (privilege and type mapped to name).

Still the question why the privilegeType/Name route could not be used 
remains...


Regards,
Martin
