Subject: [grouper-users] Group custom attributes via GSH and SQL views


I'd like to create a custom attribute that would be used on several groups.  
I'd like the attribute to be able to hold one of several distinct enumerated 
values, though I suppose I could use a plain text value.  I'd like to be able 
to set the attribute and value on particular groups via a GSH script, and I'd 
like to be able to read the attribute via SQL using the Grouper view tables.

Any pointers on how to configure something like this?  GSH examples for 
setting an attribute and value on a group?  And what SQL views hold the 
group-attribute-value?

Thanks,
