Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

We don't have the distinction of admin vs user in the new UI...  I don't 
think that exists in the API, it was just built in the Admin UI code which is 
going away.  The new UI uses the API as much as possible, so if we want this 
functionality back we need to add this to the API...  if you need this please 
add a jira.

The folders don't get updated when objects add/delete/change, you need to 
refresh your browser.  One thing I have been considering is if you 
add/change/delete an object that folders pane would just refresh and 
everything would be collapsed...  it's a difficult problem with ajax and not 
refreshing the page...  you can enter a jira for that too if you like :)  I 
can also add a refresh button to the folders pane to just reload that pane...

Thanks,
Chris

Subject: [grouper-users] New UI: Admin vs. normal user

Firstly... THANK YOU Grouper team for the new UI.  We are excited to get it 
up and running.

In the new UI, it would appear there is no longer a distinction between 
operating as an Admin and as myself.  I presume this is intentional.  I kinda 
liked being able to act as a normal user.  Will this be a future capability 
of the new UI?

Also, I created a new group in an existing folder (as admin) and the folder 
was open/visible in the Browse Folders pane.  The new group did not get added 
automatically to the Browse Folders pane.  It is displayed in the My groups 
link.  When I reload the page, the Browse Folders pane shows the new group.  
Either i am doing something wrong/stupid (as i usually do) or this is a bug.  
if a bug, i am happy to create an jira item.
