Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Paul Gazda <>]

Thanks. I am glad there is no way to keep memberships of deleted groups. To me, that would be a data integrity violation. I just want to make sure that if I delete a group all the memberships and privileges associated with it will be gone without having to specifically delete them.

Ok, I will do a proof of concept.  The added_exists means you are adding someone and they are already there (that is still a success=T).

There isn’t a way currently to keep memberships of a deleted group since the memberships are foreign keys… if we had a way to disable a group, that might do it, but it doesn’t exist now and there are no current plans.

Thanks, Chris. I would appreciate a definitive answer. I thought I saw a result code something like “added_exists” when I was assigning admin privileges to a test group that I had been creating and deleting through successive tests. I haven’t seen it since, but was wondering if privileges or memberships could be left in database tables for a group that no longer exists, and then if a group by the same name was subsequently created, those privileges and memberships would attach to it, without the creator knowing.

My understanding is that all memberships and privileges will be deleted automatically.  The only things that would hold it up are if the user (or actAs user) doesn’t have admin privileges on the group, or if the group is used as a factor in another composite group.

 

I can do a quick proof of concept demonstrating this with the client, do you need this?

 

Thanks,

Chris

When a group is deleted using the GrouperClient 1.4.2 groupDeleteWs method, are all of the privileges and memberships associated with the group deleted automatically, or do they have to be explicitly deleted before deleting the group? Thanks.
