group specific help text

A couple of people at CAMP wondered how people know in grouper what the effects of assigning to users to groups or assigning grouper privileges would have. i.e. there are tons of groups and privileges, and maybe an admin has permission to assign lots of things, but what are the exact things the person should do to assign access?

I think we could have a very simple way to handle this, and could be a built in 2nd generation attribute... It could be an attribute which could be on groups or attributes, which holds some text (currently the limit is 1k... maybe that is an issue, or we could suggest putting some text and a link there). Then anyone who has "update" or "admin" privileges on that group or attribute would see that helpAttribute's value in the help screen in the UI for example...

The end result would be when someone logs in who has access to make updates, and they click on the help button in the UI, they will see institution specific help based on what they have access to do, potentially with links to more documentation.

I wonder if wheel group members would see all help text... leaning in that direction...
