Thanks for the quick reply.
I use PAS, LDAPUserFolder and LDAMPMultiPluggins with Pone and I guess
that is the functionality I am looking for with this Zope instance as
well; the ability to map groups to local roles, instead of just users to
local roles in subfolders and not site-wide (as LDAPUserFolder by itself
already allows me to do).
I will install those products and see how it goes.
