Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

["Waldbieser, Carl" <>]

Chris,

In concept I understand what you're saying.  But I have no idea how to use 
the rule API to actually achieve that.

I imagine I'd want the "overall" group to have the same kind of setup as some 
other rules I've seen-- act as the Grouper root user, check that there is a 
membership add.  But after that I am stuck on the action to take.

    actAs = SubjectFinder.findRootSubject()
    group = getGroup(session, "overall")
    attribAssign = 
group.getAttributeDelegate().addAttribute(RuleUtils.ruleAttributeDefName()).getAttributeAssign()
    attribValueDelegate = attribAssign.getAttributeValueDelegate()
    attribValueDelegate.assignValue(RuleUtils.ruleActAsSubjectSourceIdName(), 
actAs.getSourceId())
    attribValueDelegate.assignValue(RuleUtils.ruleActAsSubjectIdName(), 
actAs.getId())
    attribValueDelegate.assignValue(RuleUtils.ruleCheckTypeName(), 
RuleCheckType.membershipAdd.name())
    # Not sure what goes next?
    # How to say "add the same subject to group, 'some:path:target_group'"?

Thanks,
Carl

I would try to have a group which is loaded.  This will always be in sync 
with the external source.  Have a shadow group which would be your “overall” 
group.  Put a rule on the loaded group that if a user is added, add them to 
the shadow group with an expire date.   Make sure the daemon is set to false. 
 If you cant do both of those in one rule, then have a rule that adds the 
user to the other group (daemon off), and a rule on the overall group which 
says when a user is added set a 30 day delete date (daemon false).  Ok?  Let 
me know if you have issues and I can try it out.

Thanks
Chris

Chris,

Yes.  It remains in the source.

Thanks,
Carl

After the subject expires, is it still in the source?

Subject: [grouper-users] Load a group member from a data source, and then 
forget it in N days


I have a data source that I want to use to populate a group membership.
The trick is, once a subject is added to the target group in Grouper, I want 
that membership to expire in 30 days, and I don't want the Grouper loader to 
re-load the subject after that time.

Is it possible to achieve this with some kind of rule?

Thanks,
