Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Keith Hazelton <>]

What guidelines are sites coming up with to set the left-hand portion of 
their Grouper stem/folder hierarchy?

How are sites (if any are) preparing for a world of federated use of group 
memberships? The options seem to include (among others):


1) Adopting a naming standard that guarantees global uniqueness of every 
group (and folder) name 
2) Using a flatter namespace for local groups and then, when the context 
calls for it, globalizing them by adding a prefix (e.g. 
urn:mace:foo.edu:groups:... or http://foo.edu/groups/....). 


One could argue that any SAML use case might call for globalized group names 
just in case they end up being used in non-local contexts
