Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

["Hyzer, Chris" <>]

Unfortunately we do need another service that does what you say, but fortunately your instinct below will work as you hope it would…

 

1.       Yes

2.       No

 

Note, you might want to test this.  Have a membership, see the UUID in the database, add an attribute.  Call add member with delete date.  See the same UUID and attribute…  or if you want me to prove it to you I can do that… J

 

Thanks

Chris

Hey all—this is from one of our developers who works on our custom front end.  I am drawing a blank on finding the answer. See below:

Subject: Web Services -- Updating a membership

 

Hello,

 

I am using the Grouper web services, and I am wondering about the correct approach to take when updating an existing group membership. For instance, say a membership is initially created with no end date, but then at a later time we want to update the membership with an explicit end date.

 

1.       It does not look like there is a specific “update member” type web service. Would it be appropriate to use the “Add member” web service along with the new end date in order to do an update like this?

2.       Would adding a member that already exists reset the membership in any way, such as attributes on the memberships?

 

Thank you!

Ryan
