As far as I know the only solution available today is to write a tiny application that exports the groups from the mysql database and builds an authz file based on that. If you know a little coding (in any language that can connect to mysql) that shouldn't be very difficult. The groups a user belongs to are not passed to the authz module. All it knows is the username.
