I guess by an example I mean the complete application use-case. When you say you want to create a group, I say 'ok, what do you want to do with that group?'. e.g. enforce access control to the engineering building doors ?

This is an interesting one, because applications like apache were the target for roles/cos. Do you know what Apache does support for detemining page access via LDAP ?
