Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

I thought this was documented, maybe not.  I made a document, let me know if 
you have questions, we can evolve the wiki...

Thanks,
Chris

Subject: Re: [grouper-users] SQL interface?

There's some discussion of it in this training video at about 19:30:

The biggest caveat seems to be that the Permissions Processor isn't in
play if you query the views directly...so no Disallows or Limits.

Best,
Bill
