Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

When you say it takes hours, you mean an old version of grouper right?
In 1.6.1, it should be faster since the effective memberships are not stored 
in their own row in a table.
In 2.0 there is a way to put a rule on a stem, which would help as well (in 
that if you create a group under that stem you don't have to assign whatever 
privileges are in the stem).  It will have good performance too.

Thanks,
Chris

Subject: [grouper-users] Setting group ACLs based on stem?

We have about 475K groups for course sections (they go back to 2007), 
and they're all under the stem BROWN:COURSE.  Certain administrators 
need to be able to modify those groups, so each of those groups has an 
admin ACL for the group BROWN:ADMIN:COURSE.  That works, but making a 
change to the membership of BROWN:ADMIN:COURSE can take hours to 
complete.  In Grouper 1.6.1, is there a way to specify a single ACL that 
would apply to all groups under BROWN:COURSE?  If so, would that allow 
BROWN:ADMIN:COURSE to be updated quickly, or is there some other solution?
