Documenation on Groups at Brown:

These reference a locally developed groups management UI targeted at admin
support people in departments; it allows them to see groups for their dept
that are fed from business systems (HR, FIS), and to then "fine tune"
those groups by adding people who are not listed in the business systems.
There are also videos that reference "using groups within Google, for
email and calendaring"
Update January 2015
Brown is now pushing data from several campus business systems into Grouper; from there we're replicating group memberships (in real time) into several target systems: LDAP, LMS (Canvas), Google, Active Directory. For more details on the Grouper deployment at Brown University, please contact steven_carmody [AT] brown.edu
