I think you're right; I'd like something simpler. But, it might be
what it is. Has anyone on list written a post-op that deals with
add/change/modify to a multi-valued attribute value when another
attribute value changes? Would you be willing to share the code?
We already have
some in the source code. For example, the referential
integrity plug-in - when a user is removed, we search for groups to
which that user may be a member of, and remove that user from those groups.

The apps are already in place. If I understand roles correctly, it
appears the apps would have to be changed to make use of 'roles'.

This looked very interesting. However, Class of Service precludes
multi-valued attributes. If a person is in multiple groups, then
'memberOf' would be multi-valued, right?
Right. So, perhaps this
wouldn't work for you.
