The final dollar sign in the 'by' clause needs to be escaped with a
second dollar sign - like this example from the slapd.access manpage:
access to dn.regex="^(.+,)?uid=([^,]+),dc=[^,]+,dc=com$"
by dn.regex="^uid=$2,dc=[^,]+,dc=com$$" write
In your case, you could probably simplify the 'by' clause like this:
access to attrs=uofsGroupRole
val.regex="uid=([^,]+),ou=nsids,ou=people,dc=usask,dc=ca.*$"
by dn.exact,expand="uid=$1,ou=nsids,ou=people,dc=usask,dc=ca" read
Make sure that you have a rule that will deny access to other users.
