oh, i see.
 i dont know if you're dealing with the issue of group types, but i think
this should be addressed, as this can greatly simplify administration.

 for instance, when AppState upgrades to phpWS/2 and wants to add register
all their departments, all that should be needed is for the administrator to
select the group type "Department" from a pull down, give a name and other
basic info, and the system should insert the proper table entries and create
the necessary relations so that roles, permissions, etc, dont have to be
redone per department (assuming of course that all departments are similar).
IOW, "Department" would be specified as a group type, and we can associate
roles, etc with this group type (eg Faculty, Staff, Student, etc). this goes
for other similar organizations, where there are multiple groups of similar
structure.
