This is the confusion here , we should remember filter roles are nothing but entries with o='something'. I am not touching any user here , but i am creating roles and these roles are covering the users automatically a Ludwig Krispenzs said earlier. example-

For my porting stuff newly created nsFilterAccountRole and nsFilterAccountRoles is more than enough because i need filter roles only .

So I think the idea of composing this with nsUsers/nsAccount is so that the nsRoleFilter becomes:
&(objectClass=account)(cn=*)
This way it’s limited to just those types. Else we would have just “nsFilteredRole” lib389 type (which could be simpler, given that this idea seems to have caused so much confusion already … :( )
I still think it would be good to see a write of “how it works” by hand, where you make the role, add the filter, show the roles on the users, then how that translates to the lib389.
