Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

Adding this to the list since it is a good question

 

Ø  Looking at the structure created in the demo,  why there are ten groups for the Math department?

 

Well, I don’t know if orgs can have people assigned and have descendent orgs.  If so, then they 10 are:

 

5 rollup groups (includes the org itself), and 5 groups for the org without descendent orgs.

 

The 5 assume you want include/exclude.  If you want to be able to add people who aren’t in the DB where it is loaded from, and exclude people (for whatever reason).  If you don’t need include/exclude, then you would only have the system of record.

 

The 5 are:

 

System of record: loaded from DB

Excludes list: add people who will be excluded from overall

Includes list: add people who will be included in the overall list

Overall group: people in the system of record, who are not excluded, and including the included

System of record and includes: internal group to make sure group math work…

 

Basically if you only need one group, go for it, set your query to see if leaf or parent, and make it appear in the person loader query or rollup query, and don’t add include/exclude groups….

 

Ok?

 

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris,

 

Apologies if this is a stupid question:  Looking at the structure created in the demo,  why there are ten groups for the Math department?

 

Thanks,
