Yes you need intermediate groups.  Maybe your multiple groups to be intersected or subtracted could benefit from being rolled up in other circumstances.  E.g. you have an ad hoc group and you want to make sure they are faculty or staff.  Maybe an “employee” reference group could help…  we have discussed enhancing composites and we will use this as a data point.  Thanks!

 

thanks

Subject: [grouper-users] Question about composite groups

 

Hi,

 

We're proceeding with the implementation of our Grouper instance, and are at a point where we need to create composite groups. From what we see in Grouper, if there are 3 groups, say A, B, and C, the only way to make an intersection of these 3 groups is to first create a composite intersection of groups A and B, and then another composite intersection group of the intersection group and C. Is there another way to achieve this sort of thing, preferably without having to create intermediate composite groups?

 

Same thing about complements: from what we see, we can only create a complement group of 2 individual groups at one time. Is there a way to get complements of more than 2 groups at one time, like say members or group A who are not in groups B, C, and D, without having to create intermediate composite groups?

 

Thanks,

 

Prasad
