Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Jared Hoffman <>]

Chris,

The GroupUniqueExtensionHook is working well for preventing duplicate
groups. Ritefully it doesn't prevent duplicate folder names, at least
for me.

The one problem with it though is that it prevents moving a group to
an new folder. I assume that is because it does a copy/delete. I'm
working around it by disabling the hook and restarting grouper, but I
thought I'd mention this in case there's a better way.


Thanks,

Jared
