grouperObjectTypeServiceName | groupTypeValueDef | name of the service that this app falls under |
grouperObjectTypeOwnerStemId | groupTypeValueDef | if this is not a direct assignment, then this is the stem id where it is inherited from |
Assign type on UI
On a folder or group, a menu item should say "Type" Should only show if user can edit types
Table should so show which are assigned, if inherited or not. Allow more assignments. If assigned, call the keep inherited method below.
Note: implement the attributes like "Deprovisioning" used attributes
View on UI
Note, if a user can view a group, they can view this attribute assignment from a high level.
On the group or folder screen show what type(s) this group is
Show the data owner and service description if applicable
If there are other lists of objects where there is space, either add it or add it to the tooltip
Keep inherited attributes up do date
A daemon should work like deprovisioning where inherited attributes are kept up to date. When an attribute is assigned it should call the propagate method for this object and subobjects if a stem.
