It is obvious that a user is a member of a group. In fact, they must be approved by a group leader in order to activate their account.
A field in the 'user' and 'part' tables is intended to hold this group_id.
However, a user may be a member of more than one group. The list of groups a user belongs to is derived from the table ung_db.membership limited by user_id. This is represented a the group_u_list entry in the bbdb.parts table.
Usage:
- ->group and group_id are used widely throughout the Registry software.
- The DNA submission system and the measurement systems allow the user to specify the group name they
wish to associate with the submission from a pull-down list of their groups. (It uses the user->group as the default)
- When basic or composite parts are created, the user is given a list of groups that should be given editing permission
this list fills group_u_list. User->group is not used by other part creation.
