Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

Right now you are stuck with either multiple calls to findGroups, or a bunch 
of or's.  An easy way to accommodate this would be a param accepted in 
findGroups which allows comma separated group names...  would that work for 
you?

Thanks,
Chris
