Christian Schneider commented on CONTINUUM-358:
-----------------------------------------------
I think it is quite useful to distinguish between groups in ldap that represent
organizational groups like a team and authorizational groups in continuum that
mean the right to do something in the project. A good combination could be to
reference organizational groups read only in ldap and use them to populate
authorization groups that live in the continuum database.
So for example you could have a project crm in contiuum and give the team
crm_team from ldap the necessary rights in continuum by populating the
authorization group crm_project_admins.
This two level aproach to authorization is a very useful thing in big companies.
