Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

Stems cannot have members, so I think what you want is a high level group 
that contains all the groups in that stem (except itself).  You can make a 
group and add all the groups as members, and use that group.  If you 
automatically want to add any group in that stem to the parent group, you 
could do this with a loader job (periodically it would make sure all groups 
are in the parent), or with a hook.  Let me know if you need more details.

Thanks,
Chris
