Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

A rule is just an attribute from the new attribute framework.  If you have 
the 2.0 UI, it should be pretty easy to unassign the rule attribute from the 
owner from the attribute assign screen.  If you are going from WS, the trick 
is knowing which attribute assign id to remove.  If there is one, its easy.  
But a rule owner could have more than one rule, in which case inspect the 
assignments on that assignment to see which one and remove the assignment.  
If you need more info or an example or whatever let me know :)  btw, there is 
a DB view which makes the rules easy to see if you are a central admin...

Subject: [grouper-users] Re: How to delete a rule?

In case I confused anyone, I meant that I could not find the method
that deletes a rule by perusing the rule-related classes in the api
directory.   FWIW, I deleted the group and was able to start over.

That reminds me, I recall seeing something an attribute defined after
setting a rule.  Is the answer that we delete a rule by deleting the
appropriate entity from the attribute that was defined with/for the
rule?
