Description
"Add or remove grouper privileges" will add or remove privileges for a subject and (group or stem). If you are adding a privilege and it already exists (immediate privilege), then it will not fail, and it will notify you in the response (still considered a success). If you are removing a privilege, and there was no immediate privileges to remove, it will be a success, and will notify you by response code. If you remove a privilege, and there is an "effective" privilege still there (which means the subject has the privilege, just not directly), it will be a success, and you will be notified via response code.
