Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Peter DiCamillo <>]

We have some situations where we'd like to be able to assign privileges 
to groups by the evaluation of a rule. For example, rather than 
assigning privileges for instructional support staff to thousands of 
course groups, we'd like to set up a rule that gives them staff 
privileges because a course group is at some level under the COURSE 
stem. Is there a way to do that in Grouper?

I looked at the Grouper rules documentation, but as far as I can tell, 
Grouper rules only set privileges when a group is created, and the end 
result is still individual privileges set on each group rather than 
applying a rule to determine privileges. We've encountered performance 
problems when assigning the members of a group privileges to thousands 
of groups, and we'd also like to be able add and change rules-based 
privileges after the groups have been created.
