I would agree with Matthew. It's going to be confusing for future
developers of your application if roles can aggregate other roles.
You'll also need to avoid infinite loops (eg ROLE_A = ROLE_B, ROLE_C,
but ROLE_B = ROLE_A, ROLE_D). Groups are a simple concept, which is
easily understood. Typically groups are implemented in an AuthenticationDao.
