API
You can create an entity with the EntitySave class:
| Code Block |
|---|
Entity testEntity = new EntitySave(grouperSession).assignCreateParentStemsIfNotExist(true)
.assignName("test:testEntity").save();
|
You can find entities with the EntityFinder class (note a grouper session must be open, and the grouper session user must have VIEW or ADMIN on the entity to show the result):
| Code Block |
|---|
Set<Entity> entities = new EntityFinder().addName("test:testEntity").findEntities();

Entity typeOfGroup
The "Group" object in Grouper is close to what we need for entities, they are in the namespace, they have some privileges (only ADMIN and VIEW are needed), and they have UI/WS support. The implementation of this enhancement is to have a typeOfGroup option as entity. Currently for v2.1 the options are "group", "role", and "entity".
