Users of Grouper sometimes need to create and manage entities in Grouper which are not part of a central subject source. An example is an application might manage access to a database where schemas are connecting which are application schemas. The access management application will need to represent these schemas in Grouper so they can be assigned to Groups/Roles/Permissions. Before 2.1 this could be solved by creating a Group to represent the entity, and not assign members to the group. In 2.1 an "entity" can be created in the folder structure. Entities are not intended to be used to represent people that are already represented or could easily be represented in another source.
