Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

Let me clarify... recursion is ok with member lists (e.g. a group can be the 
same as its child or grandchild member etc), but you cannot do the same thing 
for composite groups.  i.e. a group cant intersect with itself or any groups 
which are members of either of its factors...
