Should be in tomcat conf dir, tomcat-users.xml

Does your grouper.properties have a wheel group enabled?  First thing is to 
do that.

Then you need to make sure your subjects are resolvable, either add them via 
GSH or SQL to the built in JDBC source, or add another source.

Then add those subjects to the group configured in grouper.properties.  You 
can do this via UI or GSH or client or WS

For daemons, you need to kill the process which is gsh -loader.  For 
starting, see the output from your installer script.  Generally you just find 
the gsh command, and run that: gsh -loader   for Linux, you could do this: 
nohup gsh -loader &

Well, do you want the system of record to be in Grouper or AD?  Are all 
subjects that go into groups in AD available in Grouper?  You can do the sync 
either way or both.  Maybe you want to mark groups to go to AD with an 
attribute, and you can configure which groups come back in the PSP or loader 
config (depending on which one you use)
