Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Richard James <>]

Hi,

I am wondering if anyone can share any experiences/approaches for 
representing a hierarchy of people in Grouper. At Newcastle we have been 
loading in an organisational hierarchy, so the hierarchical relationship is 
people to team and team to department. We now have use cases which require 
representing a people management hierarchy i.e. person to line manager to 
department head and so on. As ever with this being a University, you have the 
exceptions where people report to 2 line managers which adds a level of 
complexity.

We are currently trying to find the best way to proceed with representing 
these kinds of structure. We were wondering if anybody has had an experience 
of representing this type of structure within Grouper? And if so could 
provide us with any guidance/approaches for proceeding with this, or examples 
of similar structures represented within your deployments of Grouper.

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Regards

Richie
