Users and Groups vs Authors and Roles

[Uffe]

Hey there!


Users (User Security) can be imported from an Active Directory. Cool.
Authors (Reference Data) can be imported from an Active Directory. Cool.
What I'd like is the ability to synch Authors to Users, if User Security is enabled.
This way, I can keep Authors synched to Users regardless of whether I have an AD in play, plus if I do have an AD I only need to import users into EA in one place.

Groups (User Security) define access to EA functionality. Cool.
Roles (Reference Data) define project roles. Cool
What I'd like is the ability to associate one or more Groups to a Role, if User Security is enabled.
This way, the Roles take on an actual meaning within an EA project.

Thoughts?
