Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Gabby Capitanchik <>]

Hi,

All of our application/system are co-located for disaster recovery 
reasons. So we'd probably have to look at creating something to allow 
Grouper to be clustered.

We are looking to a provisioning system that will map groups to 
services. For example, group A may have access to AD supported services 
and our Central Wiki service but may not have access to Student, 
related, services.

Cheers

Gabby
