Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Scott Koranda <>]

Hi,

I used gsh to put an attribute value onto a 'member' like
this:

s = 
SubjectFinder.findById("")
 
m = MemberFinder.findBySubject(grouperSession, s, false)
m.getAttributeValueDelegate().assignValue("Communities:LVC:authorNameFirstInitial",
"S")

It worked. Great.

But it also reminded me to ask this naive question: what is
the distinction between a subject and a member? 

Is it only that a member is a subject with a membership in at
least one group known to Grouper, while a subject can "live"
outside of Grouper without being a member of any group?

Thanks,

Scott
