Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

Sorry, I usually think of the change log to be used for notifications, not to 
look back at and see how the memberships of a group or subject has changed... 
 but you could try to do that if you like.  You can tie it back to the audit 
log with the context id.  Note that depending on configuration, in 2.0, only 
flattened (overall changes) of memberships are put in the change log.

Can you give me a more clear understanding of what exactly you want to do?

Thanks,
Chris

Subject: Re: [grouper-users] Audit of Indirect Memberships

Hi Nathan and Chris:

Yes, I was inquiring on possibility of the change log containing audit
of indirect memberships.

The audit log captures all membership updates to a subject (i.e.
account); indirect membership updates are not captured by the audit
log.

In the change log, I can see the entries for the indirect memberships
but I do not know how to tie these to the membership audit from the
audit log (or even if it is possible).

Is the change log path, w.r.t to membership audits, for indirect group
memberships, worth investigating or is it a red herring.

Thanks.
