Interface GroupManager

public interface GroupManager

This object can be used to manage groups in JIRA. This manager offers the following advantages over using the Open Symphony UserManager class:

• It is consistent with the general Service/Manager architecture of JIRA.
• It provides a lightweight interface that may be mocked for unit tests.
• It works around some of the bugs in OSUser - eg see JRA-12762.

v3.13
