From nsswitch.conf(5):
  merge [SUCCESS=merge] is used between two database entries.  When a
        group is located in the first of the two group entries,
        processing will continue on to the next one.  If  the  group  is
        also  found  in the next entry (and the group name and GID are
        an exact match), the member list of the second entry will be
        added to the group object to be returned.  Available since glibc
        2.24.  Note that merging will not be done for getgrent(3) nor
        will duplicate members be pruned when  they  occur  in both
        entries being merged.

RHEL 7's glibc has it since 2.17-168.

So a possible solution would be to create a group in IPA with name
staff with GID 500? Is that what you are saying? I thought that this
was a big no-no in IPA especially when the GID < 1000
This is specifically for group merging in glibc. Before group merging
feature was implemented it was 'big no-no', indeed. But if you have to
belong to group 'staff', you stuck with it and there is a solution for
that.
