Sorry, meant to respond to this sooner. I think they should probably go into 
separate trees since it would give us more flexibility later on if needed.

The good news here is there is already a group data structure with apis in 
GroupMgr.  The original intent for this was user grouping but it will work for 
roles as well.  There will have to be a tweak to support both mappings.  We’ll 
need to think about how to differentiate.  One idea is they could go in 
separate trees, another is to add a type attribute to the entry.
