Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Tom Zeller <>]

It is possible in the latest version of the psp to do what I think you
want, but it probably is a feature request.

In general, though, I think it is not a good idea to remove rows out
of grouper_members, but I can't really speak to that.

To only provision grouper subjects which have memberships, you would
need to customize the allSourceIdentifiersRef.

In psp.xml, if you have :

  <pso
    id="member"
    allSourceIdentifiersRef="memberSubjectIds">

then during a bulk sync, a sync will be performed for each value of
the memberSubjectIds attribute.

The memberSubjectIds attribute is defined in psp-resolver.xml, and
refers to the AllMemberSubjectIdsDataConnector, which basically just
calls

 MemberFinder.findAll(grouperSession)

I think you would want

 MembershipsFinder.findAll()

But that last part I am guessing at.
