Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

["Michael R. Gettes" <>]

here is a recipe for what we use to establish inherited group access.

grouperSession = GrouperSession.startRootSession();
baseStem = StemFinder.findByName(grouperSession, "Apps:ServiceNow");
adminGroup = GroupFinder.findByName(grouperSession, "Apps:ServiceNow:Admins");
// grant rights on subfolders
RuleApi.inheritFolderPrivileges(SubjectFinder.findRootSubject(), baseStem, 
Stem.Scope.SUB, adminGroup.toSubject(), Privilege.getInstances("stem, 
create"));
// grant rights on subgroups
RuleApi.inheritGroupPrivileges(SubjectFinder.findRootSubject(), baseStem, 
Stem.Scope.SUB, adminGroup.toSubject(), Privilege.getInstances("admin"));

of course, adjust the stem names to your liking.  The Admins group may or may 
not be updated by its members depending upon the rules for that part of the 
grouper tree.  The above allows the Admins group to do whatever they like 
with folders and groups within Apps:ServiceNow (as an example).

i hope this helps.
