Description:
Maybe there could also be an implementation of roles and directory services in version 5.2. So Active Directory or LDAP can be used. It certainly would make life of administrators easier.

How to repeat:

Thank you for a reasonable feature request.

I believe this feature was implemented with pam and windows authentication in 5.5
