Need help with a Groups question

Hi,

I know this is not specifically Java related but I am an AS400 Java developer with prior System level experience and would appreciate the help. I will be writing the code in Java 😁

I am a long time 38/AS400/iSeries developer and have a client that develops software for user provisioning across many different system types. They are adding the ability to add users and remove users to/from Groups.

In my experience on the iSeries, groups are set up with Q type user level and other access to give authorities to a Group, and the GROUP NAME is added/removed to a user profile to give the Authority.

Is anyone using Groups to add/remove the user profile names to the groups themselves? In this example I imagine the group name would not then be added to the user profile... In my experience no, but it looks possible, and other system types work this way.

Please share with me so I can give accurate guidance to my client.

Thanks,

Kristen Henry
