Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the solutions. It seems like the first solution only work if we run RuleApi.inheritFolderPrivileges before creating the new subfolders and groups. In our case they were already created and the script did not modify the privileges. I also ran the daemon for existing objects but it returned "0". But as this was a one time thing for us, I used your second solution to generate grant privilege methods for each group and it worked like charm.

Thanks again,

Brad

You can do one of two things:

 

1.       Add a rule to the stem which makes sure all the underlying folders.  The daemon part will take care of all the existing objects

https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Grouper+rules+use+case+-+Inherited+privileges+on+folders

GSH shorthand method

RuleApi.inheritFolderPrivileges(SubjectFinder.findRootSubject(), stem2, Scope.SUB, groupA.toSubject(), Privilege.getInstances("stem, create"));

https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Grouper+rules

You can run the rules daemon on an owner (daemon mode) with GSH:

RuleApi.runRulesForOwner(groupA)

-or-

2.       If this is a one-time thing, you can make a query from SQL which generates GSH to assign the privileges

I want all groups in a certain folder which do not have an ADMIN privilege assigned to my application service principal, to assign that privilege.  Here is the query for oracle:

select 'grantPriv("'|| gg.name || '", "someid/server.school.edu", AccessPrivilege.ADMIN);'as script 

from grouper_groups gg where gg.name like school:apps:appName:spaces:%' 

and not exists

(select (1) from grouper_memberships_lw_v gmlv where gg.name = gmlv.group_name and list_name = 'admins' 

and gmlv.subject_id = 'someid/server.school.edu');

 

 

Thanks,

Chris

Subject: Assigning admin and create privileges hierarchically

 

Hi Chris,

I know this might have been asked many times, but I was looking around and could not find a good answer. There's this group of applications that are starting to use grouper in our environment. We assigned a main stem to this app and they have the freedom to manage groups and folders in that stem on their own. We loaded their data in that stem and they have about 50 subfolders and groups there. We created an admin group for this app and I want to assign create and admin privileges to all these subfolder to this group. After reading  around I noticed assigning create and admin privileges in grouper is not hierarchical by design. I was hoping it is and by just assigning the correct privileges to that app's stem, all the subfolders will inherit those. But now it seems like I have to go through 50 folders and groups and assign those privileges manually one by one!

 

Is there any other way that we can do this in a more efficient way by the Grouper UI?

 

Thanks,

Brad
