Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

It shouldn’t work like that.  When you call it for a group, are you doing the same thing as you would for a person, but the sourceId is g:gsa, and the subjectIdentifier is the groupName (or the subjectId id the groupUuid?).  The output for any subject should be consistent.

Subject: [grouper-users] API for listing group dependencies

 

When calling the getGroups web service on a person, I can get an exhaustive list of all groups that the person is a member of, regardless of the depth of indirect membership.

If I attempt the same call with a group 'foo', I only get the immediate groups that have group 'foo' as a member. I do not get all groups that depend indirectly on 'foo'.  

Is there a way to accomplish this, short of writing a recursive method that calls getGroups?   During the recursion, I also need to check if the group is a factor in a composite.  What do I call for that?
