You should be able to add a type with GSH, and put that in the group query in the loader and it will add that type to the group.  Does that make sense?  This is implement as an attribute def and attribute name but you dont need to worry about that...  not, it cannot be loaded with a value yet...

Subject: Adding Custom Attribute

 

Hi Chris,

 

I am working on creating the Departmental Hierarchical groups in the Grouper (https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Organization+hierarchies+via+the+grouper+loader). I'm trying to add a custom attribute to the group (Eg. Supervisor_Name), I added Supervisor_Name column in the group table and ran the loader, but Supervisor_Name attribute didn’t show up on the group.  

 

I think I need to implement code to read data from the table column and show up as an attribute in the group. Please let me know where in the source code does loader gets columns details (eg. Name, ID Path, etc) from the tables. Also, let me know if there is a better way to configure or implement from your point of view.

 

Thank you,

Akki
