What's the advantage of using Grouper over AD or LDAP?

  • 772

I'm reading the documentation on Grouper, but I can't for the life of me figure out what the benefit of grouper is over storing groups in AD or LDAP. Can anyone shed light?

    It appears grouper allows you to delegate group management to end-users which may make sense for distribution lists, etc.
    FWIW, AD already provides this functionality natively through Outlook (and proper permissions)

    I don't know what OpenLDAP offers in this regard.
