Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[David Langenberg <>]

Yes, agreed, we teach our non-programmers about the reference tree and how to 
use grouper’s set-math capability to create their own rules / logic to meet 
their needs.  We try to keep business logic out of the loader jobs as much as 
possible so that the groups produced are generic enough to be used as a set 
of building blocks for meeting your specific need.

    Steven,
    
    We populate reference groups in our Grouper from our business system 
using 
    loader jobs.  The reference groups are used to populate service 
    eligibility groups.
    
    Are you looking for something different?
    
    Thanks,
        Andy
