Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

btw, a workaround could be to create a group of admins, add that group to be 
an ADMIN of the group, then add attributes to the regular memberships to that 
group.  This is essentially the same thing, and allows for re-use of the 
admins group to ADMIN other groups which might be useful.

Thanks,
Chris

Ok, thanks. I wanted to make sure I was not just missing how
to do it.

This is NOT a RFE...I am not sure I *need* to be able to set an
attribute on the assignment of the ADMIN privilege.

Thanks much,

Scott
