Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

Im looking at the code, and I think if you have 

groups.wheel.group in grouper.config (in the UI WEB-INF/classes dir), and 
groups.wheel.use as true
and the user is in the wheel group and is not GrouperSystem

then you should see the drop down.

when you run "gsh" in the WEB-INF/bin dir in the UI, can you get the group 
and see if the user is a member (per instructions on GSH wiki)?

thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,

Thanks for this, much appreciated. I don't see the box come up at all (but 
now at least I know what I'm supposed to look for. I'll review my settings to 
see if it's a config error on my part.

Thanks and best, -- pete
